    Why Travel Is Absolutely The Best Cure For A Broken Heart

    Nursing a broken heart? Everybody has their own way of coping with a nasty breakup. Some will eat their way through the dessert stations and frozen food sections at 711, while others try to drown their sorrows with dozens of Red Horse beers and Emperador Lights. I know quite a few folks who also try to mend a broken heart by isolating themselves in their rooms, and listening to songs from Adele and Taylor Swift. But, for me, there’s no better way to heal an aching heart than to travel to a new and unknown faraway land. What do I know about love to give such piece of advice? Well,…

    Cancalanog And Cambais Falls: Chasing Waterfalls In Alegria

    Waterfalls, such as Alegria’s Cancalanog and Cambais Falls, are an absolute godsend for hikers and travelers like me. Whether it’s a hike up the mountains or a sightseeing trip in a quaint remote town, a plunge in a refreshing waterfall is, for me, the icing on the cake of every outdoor adventure.  Awe-inspiring and simply wondrous, waterfalls are also such a mesmerizing sight to behold and an impressive natural wonder that exudes a rather relaxing feel.

    Mount Lanaya: A Pleasant Hike That Helped Beat Energy Gap

After a short hiatus from hiking and weeks of overindulgence, Team Bang is once again back on the track, with a hike to one of the mountains in our never-ending travel wish-list – Mount Lanaya in Alegria, Cebu. While it was a fairly easy climb (we took the easier trail, with time not on our side), it was still a great shock to our system and a fantastic way to start a year with a bang. Of course, it did also help “beat energy gap” by flushing out the…

    Biga Pit: A Visit To Lutopan’s Controversial And Gorgeous Man-made Lake

    A tour around the mesmerizing Capilla Santa Ana Museum was a great way to cap off a year full of life, colors and adventures. From elaborate Renaissance carvings to a lush and eye-catching maze garden, Capilla Santa Ana indeed gave us a plethora of striking sights and snaps. But, we didn’t travel all the way to the city of Toledo, just to take a short visit around this sweet treasure trove. Just like any of Team Bang’s escapades, we did have a side trip in mind to wrap up our Toledo city adventure. And this time, it was the sprawling and wonderfully weird Biga Pit in Lutopan. Our quick Biga…
