From Filipina on Flip Flops: Travel Tales and the City Life of a Filipina

Being on top of Pre Rup with its spectacular view of the horizon begged for a moment of contemplation, and so the three of us wandered the top level of the temple separately, perhaps looking back and slowly starting to digest what we had seen and experienced in the past two days. I felt an immense sense of gratitude on my part – to have witnessed that much history, to have seen and touched and stood upon something that had been there for centuries, which someone in another time – another world, even – also witnessed and saw, touched and stood upon…well, I felt pretty damn lucky. This will sound strange, weird, cheesy or incredibly nerdy, depending on who’s reading it, but to be honest, being there, on top of an amazing centuries-old structure by an ancient civilization, I couldn’t help but feel a connection to an era that had long gone and that was not my own, and I really, truly felt the immensity and expanse of time.

And it’s history, today was the record-breaking Longest Total Solar Eclipse ever experienced by the Human race – 6 minutes and 39 seconds total at its maximum point.

Most only experienced a partial eclipse like us in the Philippines, but regardless, it was still an experience we will treasure and pass on to the next generation (and those who missed it).

Here’s the report of the solar eclipse, coupled with photos (locally) and video coverage (India, China, Japan).

If you are new to the Philippines and you want to know more about the history and the culture, the best place to start is at Luneta Park also known as Rizal Park. It is located in Manila.

Luneta Park is surrounded by interesting places like museums, restaurants, hotels, Manila Bay (part of the Pacific Ocean), national library, universities, government offices, golf course and the United States Embassy.

Luneta Park is one of the most famous landmarks in the Philippines. It is the location of the statue and mausoleum of the National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

From Filipina on Flip Flops: Travel Tales and the City Life of a Filipina

There it was, the temple complex of Angkor Wat, its “beehive” towers standing ever so proudly yet solemnly in the middle of the forest of Siem Reap, as it has done so for centuries. Other than how immense it was, I was taken by its location, hidden deep in the woods, forgotten and untouched, its existence unknown to the outside world for years and years. I wondered what it must’ve felt like for the French explorer who re-discovered Angkor in the 1800s, to have found all that grandeur and to have undoubtedly been flabbergasted by the staggering thought that a place as massive and as beautiful as that could’ve been forgotten almost entirely by civilization. And while Angkor Wat and the rest of Cambodia’s temples are now renowned all over the world and are visited by crowds of tourists each year, on that quiet, wet and gloomy Sunday morning, standing on the bridge towards its entrance, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of, and to have seen for myself, the “hidden” magnificence that is Angkor Wat.

In today’s times, I think parents are forced to be creative when coming up with activities that would entertain their children. Otherwise, they may turn to settling with the latest gadgets to give their young ones. Although my eldest son would probably love to get a PSP or the latest toy, I have long decided that my kids will not be raised with their heads buried in gadgets, so I chose another path of entertainment.

Ocean Adventure Experience

May 20,2009

I was thinking of what to do for my youngest son’s birthday celebration when I saw an ad for Ocean Adventure on TV a few weeks ago. My son squealed “Dolphins! Dolphins!” and I knew our trip was set at that instant.

I didn’t know anyone who had been there so I turned to my best friend, the Internet, and did my best to find out more about what the place had to offer. Although the place had their own website, and I found quite a few blogs who have written about their experience, I couldn’t get an overall picture about what I need to prepare, what I need to do, and what exactly I would see when I get there.

La Virginia Resort is Beautiful

So I was in La Virginia Resort in Batangas last weekend and I was very satisfied of the place, the experience, the fun and all. I highly recommend that place as an alternative to beach, yet somehow I’d think La Virginia Resort is way better than a beach. Maybe it’s just me because I used to live by the shore when I was a kid so I might not be as excited as you when it comes to beaches. But regardless of the taste of the water, the La Virginia is ‘A’ class and on top of the list I had thus far. Maybe I would rate a bit higher than Estancia Tagaytay, which is also a haven.
