Passenger Tales

When I was little, I was fascinated with snow (come to think of it, I still am) because it seems very exotic for someone who has not seen it outside of television or Movie Theater. Living in a tropical country has its advantages, like access to great beaches and beautiful green vistas. But […]

The next day, we had a late breakfast. It was raining outside when we started. After breakfast, three of us went to the public market to buy pasalubong. Since we were going to Vigan after Baguio, we were really constrained in buying fresh produce since these would not survive the jaunt to […]

Last May 15, our division went to Baguio. I was asleep for around half the trip. There wasn’t much to see since I’ve been to Baguio a few times before. I prefer seeing rice lands to houses. I only sat up and took notice of the scenery when we started our climb […]

On my way to Baybay from Tacloban, I was jolted out of my somnolent state when I saw a motorcycle with a roof. Forgive the surprise of an urbanite because I’ve never seen anything like that before and I have never imagined putting a roof over a motorcycle. For other city dwellers who […]

Before my 2005 trip home after five years of not visiting, I bought a trolley bag, an instamatic camera, and gifts for my relatives.
