TOT Round Up 2012

Wow 2012 was quite a great year in terms of travelling! I had hoped to travel more, but I wasn’t really expecting to travel as much as I did given that I was piled with projects at work. But somehow I managed to squeeze out the time and ended up visiting a surprising 7 countries…

In this age of digitalization, I thought I’d start taking my physical dive logs and start putting them up online for my record!

SilkAir Explorers Contest – The Moalboal Blues

SAE

I’ve been seeing a fair bit of promo for the SilkAir Explorers contest, where you submit a travel journal and stand a chance to win up to a year’s worth of Silkair tickets and S$2000! Given that we are limited to Silkair destinations, it was a toss up between Cebu and Sabah for me –…

We track turtles and climb up rivers in Moalboal, Cebu

Blue Blue waters

The thing I remember best about Moalboal was the awesomely BLUE water. I mean seriously, look at that picture above. It was taken on a day with  fantastically sunny weather and clear blue skies.
