Fun Drive to Cavite

It was a fair Tuesday morning and the "travelling mood" was on. I was with my batchmates in PGH and we were excited to visit our community exposure sites in Cavite, Philippines. It was a 2-4hour ride from Metro Manila depending on the traffic situation.

After a long and fun travel, we arrived in a simple and culturally preserved province where the people are happy and accommodating.

Our Cavite experience was one memorable trip for us. It was filled with learning and surprises.

Visit Cavite and enjoy every bit of it.

Part 2 - Hidden Treasures of Antique: Malalison Island

One fine sunny Sunday morning turned into a memorable day for us - me, Yen, Jucee and Kevin. Wonderful sunny morning - best time to conquer the island. Against the light. What's important is the background. Hehe. :) The pump boat ride was fun and smooth sailing. Our trip was blessed for it did not rain, hassle free and what we felt was all excitement. The boat can be rented from 700+ or more and will assist you back and forth Culasi town. We brought some breakfast meals for our lunch and thanks to Kevin for that! Malalison Island, Province of Antique Touch down. The white sand and the clear cold waters were very inviting that time and to go there after summer is a good idea. Haha... We owned the Island until... look who I met! My elementary and college friends. :) Sim and Leomel were my elementary classmates while Cherry was my college classmate. That was really surprising! I and Cherry was planning before hand to explore the Island with our very dear frie...

The Lambunao Adventure: Victorious Journey

Meet the research team: Jucee, Me, Yen and Lyn. 2011 was a great year for our school and for us - pipz dreaming for a medical license (which is now a reality). Meet our recruits: John and Bryan. We finished in a Medical School in Iloilo City, Philippines last 2013 and upon browsing my old files I saw these pictures which will always be considered worthy to keep and worthy to share. Well, anyway I am talking of a national research contest for medical colleges in the Philippines that we joined few years back but I will not delve deeper on it. I would like to share our experiences during our data gathering. Our goal was to climb a MOUNTAIN in Brgy. Cabatangan, Lambunao, Iloilo which required as more than enough energy stores, determination, trust and prayers to finish and end with flying colors our 2-DAY adventure. The climb wasn't that easy. We got some special permits from the local government and communicated with the municipal health and Barangay officials fo...
