Today, February 14, 2014, is the opening of the 21st Travel Expo.
I went there to window shop and snatch some freebies. Huhubells. 
Hindi naman masama magtingin ng iba't ibang vacation spots eh, malay natin! 


It would have been a lot better if we have the money to book us some domestic and international trips but then, we were left with no choice but to get some fliers of different tours and hope that someday we'd be able to go to all of those places too. :))
Malaysia Booth
Apparently, 2014 is "Visit Malaysia" year.
And.. and that's the same backdrop they used last year.

We got a free brochure and Malaysia guidebook here since we have a scheduled flight to Kuala Lumpur in May. 


My "Someday Petronas Towers" line last year will be happening this year and I'm more than grateful. No problems please.


I don't want to put this here yet but do you have suggestions regarding affordable accommodations, free attractions etc. in Malaysia and Singapore? We're currently in the process of choosing attractions for our itinerary. 

Please, please help a first timer. :))

Travel Tour Expo 2013 link: here.
Of course, explore Philippines booth was there.
I also got myself a map of Sagada, Banaue and Baguio just in case.


Ours is divided into tables with different regions in each.
A temple in Thailand.
Spring Blossoms in Korea

And until now, Korea is still in the list of my dream destinations. 
Did you know that Jeju Island in South Korea doesn't require a tourist visa? Yes, Jeju Island is visa-free even if South Korea requires it.

OMG Teddy Bear Museum and Olle Gil/ Trail. Huhuhu. Someday. Huhuhu

I really want you, Inside Cabin! $ 1,510, where are you?

Sponsor me! Any takers? Hahaha.

 í•œêµ­ì–´ë¡œ ì§„ì§œ 가고 싶습니다.

어떡할까요???

Anyway, above is, "Experiece Jeju Island, Korea in a Spring Cruise on April 13-19."


SOMEDAY, SOUTH KOREA!

꼭 갈거야!!
I may have explored different places in Earth today through the pictures and some miniature version of their landmarks in different booths...
Still, no place can beat our homeland.

Batanes, you're also in my list!
Love the "Bakasyon mo, May meaning" of Bangon Tours.

Help rebuild calamity-stricken areas in the country by availing these tours offered by Bangon Tours.
네, 언젠가.

Someday, Myeongdong.
.
Most booths have packages such as cruises and pilgrimages worldwide, different airlines are also there selling discounted tickets. I think most of the tour packages being sold are offered at a lower price.


And this has been it, my travel tour expo window shopping. Sana next year, shopping na talaga.


Travelling is a very expensive thing to do. Imagine saving up more than 100k only to spend everything on what? Less than 7 days of Europe trip. But I really, really, really believe that the money is not an issue here. If I can save that much for a trip, I wouldn't mind spending everything especially if the place is worth it.  Keywords: IF I CAN. But you know what? I feel that I can, of course I can. hahahaha. Someday, world. For the meantime, claim lang ng claim ulit.



Don't have the budget to join a European cruise? It's okay. Our country is very beautiful with so many places that are waiting to be explored.

Support local tourism. :) Maganda na, mas mura pa.







Go to this year's Travel Tour Expo and see these things for yourself.

February 14- 16, 2014 with an entrance fee of P 50.00 per person at SMX Convention Center.

Ilang pages kaya ang sa'kin, fairy god mother? :)))

Meiji Factory tour is one of the items on my bucket list. Someday, Meiji!! If they have a plant tour, I want to go and explore there even once in this lifetime, twice in another lifetime and on the third, I'd like to own my own chocolate factory. HAHAHAHA. Joke!! I don't even know if Meiji still hold a factory tour but if they do; Fairygod mother, push natin 'to please. 

If chocolate and food is considered a subcategory of tourism... Life, let me experience the chocolate and food tourism of Japan.

Monaka is a Japanese sweet wherein a filling is sandwiched between two thin wafers.  Based on the name, this Matcha chocolate is inside a wafer.  I really find it weird and funny every time I explain obvious things.


Let's go to the filling: this Matcha is the most potent Matcha I've ever tasted. A lot of people would definitely find it too bitter but for me, it's just the way I like it. I love the bitter aftertaste which slowly fades away.

The first time I tried eating there was in 2012 (that's the year when I started going to BGC anyway. Sana ma-miss mo ko BGC, noh? Sobrang minsan na nga lang ako mapunta dun these days, hindi mo pa ata ako nami-miss. Haha. Munshongerks po.) and I didn't like the food at all which explains the lack of blog post. I don't even remember what was the exact dish I had but it was chicken and my friends had sisig, batchoy etc. and we all agreed on one thing as we left the restaurant, "No second time here."



Then recently a friend was like, "I know a restaurant in the area that offers unlimited rice." Grabe, gutom siya. Hindi niya sinabi 'yun dahil malakas ako mag-rice!! HAHAHAHA. 

As I saw Floring's facade my first reaction was, "Tara, Jollibee or KFC or Mcdo na lang."

You know, that feeling when you know you're about to waste your money again.


But the friend insisted so I gave in and gave Floring's a second chance.

Garlic Kangkong
P 80.00 (?)

It was my friend who told me to try this out and so I did.

Bacon-Liempo Kawali

In all fairness, I loved their version of lechon kawali.
The skin was crispy and they managed to retain the tenderness of the meat. Sa nipis kasi ng slice, mas may possibility na maging matigas 'yan pag pinirito. I also liked that the layer of fat was thin (ANORAW!?) And, the sauce also went well with the meat.



Have they improved or we just ordered the right dishes this time, I don't know. All I know is that if you order both of these dishes, you'll enjoy dining there too.


Floring's is more expensive than fast food but it's definitely cheaper than other food establishments in the area and given that they serve unlimited rice adds to reasons why it's worth trying (Or re-trying) out.

After a two months I found myself seated at Zark's Burgers again. Not that I hate it, of course. 


What happened, we were looking for a resto na 4M. 
Mura, masarap, malapit at makakabusog.

"San tayo?"
"Dyan na lang sa malapit. Rodic's sa Congre."
"Sa medyo malayo ng konti."
"Sige, Rodic's sa Philcoa."

Nung nasa Philcoa na at nasa harap na ng Rodic's;
"Tara?"
"Hanap pa tayo sa Maginahawa."


 Hanggang sa nalibot na halos buong Teacher's Village

"Katips?"
"Sige."
"Last na. Sa Zark's na lang. Bawal magreklamo."

Zark's pala talaga ang gusto medyo nagsayang lang ng gas? Haha

Walang nagre-reklamo.
 OMG. 


Shaq Burger
Cheeseburger with Onion Rings
P 155.00 with drinks

Pang Junior League lang talaga ko.

This is my 5th time eating at Zark's, and have always been satisfied with every visit. One of the very few burger joints that serve delicious yet satisfying (very satisfying) burgers at an affordable price.

It's so crazy that today's already the 5th day of February! 


Last year's highlight was our Ilocos Trip link: here. 
Eventhough I said that I had no idea where Feb. 2013 would take me, I was already preparing for my Ilocos trip then. I have no plans once again and this time, seryoso na. Of course, I have those days of must-do's; I'm talking about gala etc. here. 
Feb, magiging masaya ba ko? Matatakot ba ko? Iiyak ba ko? Tatawa ba ko? Sige, hindi na ko magtatanong. Ako na lang ang mamimili. 
I choose to be grateful. 
No matter what happens, I'll choose to be happy and grateful. 


And sinabi ko pa pala before na, "It's heart's month again and I have never been this bitter. Hahaha. Joke. I have never been this BETTER." 'Yung totoo, bakit ako nakapag-joke nyan dati? Haha. Bangag lang. 


I heard a Filipino song in the radio sometime last month. It has a catchy tune and is very nostalgic. I'm pretty sure I've heard this even before that day, hindi ko lang napansin agad.


May Christmas Version pala 'to? May summer version din ba? hehe
Had I known I'd like a Sam Concepcion song today, nagpa-picture sana ko sakanya nung nakita ko siya sa Enchanted Kingdom last month. HAHAHA. Magkatabi lang kami sa pila nun oh. 



And!!!
Nung January, sobrang lamig saka ang sarap ng hangin. Come Feb. 1, biglang nawala na lang lahat! Sobrang init na. Tipong bawal makaramdam ng transition sa Pilipinas. Tsk. Nage-enjoy pa ko gamitin 'yung mga lotion kong mababango kasi malagkit 'yun sa pakiramdam pag mainit e ayan, uminit na nga ulit. 


Hindi ko na alam sasabihin ko actually. Ayoko lang sirain 'yung tradition ng blog na to for several months. 



P.S. This blog got a total of 389 views in February 2012; that's two months after signing up. And you know what? I'm proud to say that currently I can get that much (sometimes even more) views on a good day. Imagine what took me a month two years ago is only taking me a day now. Thank you. :> With or without followings, I'm still flattered that, at least, this gets hundreds of views a day. Hindi ko na lang din inasahan na aabot ako ng ganito katagal. Pinagtya-tygaan ko rin talaga at infairness, kung nakaabot ka dito e pinagtyagaan mo rin magbasa. Gusto ko sana maging number 1 fan (ng gawa) ko kaso ang joke time lang kasi. :))


Hayy, kung kakayanan ko lang mag-ipon ng pera ang blogviews edi ang saya na ng wallet ko diba. HAHAHAHA.





Hope this month gives us courage to face all the challenges life throws on us. God Bless! :)
