no. 19 – waterfalls, springway, and the goodness of strangers | Roving Rani

https://rovingrani.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/no-19-waterfalls-springway-and-the-goodness-of-strangers

Halo halo (at mami). No 19 – waterfalls, springway, and the goodness of strangers. November 20, 2012. July 11, 2016. Regular bus (no air conditioner) costed us 190 pesos each and it left at around 5 am even if there were only a few passengers. The ride was fun at first because of the fields and the air and the sunrise. After 7 AM though, it became hot and humid and suddenly, there was an influx of passengers with all sorts of things and animals with them. Argh. The place wasn’t too crowded because ...

On beaches | Roving Rani

https://rovingrani.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/pagudpud

Halo halo (at mami). June 12, 2013. May 24, 2015. We woke up early since it was the last day of our road trip and we had to leave Ilocos Norte after lunch. This time, I was able to appreciate the beauty of Pagudpud. I’m sure it’s less developed than Boracay (haven’t been there) but I like it just the way it is. Walking through the stretch of sand in the morning was nice because most of the tourists are (probably) still sleeping so it’s not very crowded. And the theme-park didn’t have any thrilling ...

Bless Isabela gracious Lord, and keep her in Your fold | Roving Rani

https://rovingrani.wordpress.com/2015/08/09/bless-isabela-gracious-lord-and-keep-her-in-your-fold

Halo halo (at mami). Bless Isabela gracious Lord, and keep her in Your fold. August 9, 2015. September 16, 2015. In my first law subject (which I almost flunked btw), I learned about the difference between domicile and residence. The latter simply requires bodily presence and is only an element of the former. Meanwhile, domicile is, as stated in my favorite description of the word, “. Where a person, whenever he is absent, has the intention of returning. But I’m not here to dwell on the past haha! Next s...

Food Photodump 4 | Roving Rani

https://rovingrani.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/food-photodump-4

Halo halo (at mami). July 13, 2015. October 17, 2015. I’m slowly but surely gaining back the weight I’ve lost since 2013, but I can’t help it. Food is my weakness. No, taking pictures and curating them in photodump posts aren’t helping. I will never EVER be a vegetarian. This one is from a Korean restaurant along Adriatico street, from what I remember it’s called Cafe Chosun Go! Kizip Banchans were pretty decent but they don’t have marble potatoes😐. Went to McLaren’s Pub in Greenhills with college...

Up in the clouds | Roving Rani

https://rovingrani.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/up-in-the-clouds

Halo halo (at mami). Up in the clouds. November 20, 2012. May 27, 2015. I wanted to go to Mindanao primarily because of Cagayan de Oro’s Whitewater Rafting. I already contacted companies offering the activity, two already found us a group to join (because minimum persons for a trip to push through was six) and I had already set a schedule. I was ready to conquer the rapids but two days before, Dams backed out because of his father. Again, some other time (hello Jinkee! 2,788 feet above sea level, wow!
