awesome travel related link!

here's a link for the restless souls out there!

wanderfly

As much as i am a spontaneous wanderer, this site is pretty cool. It does help out those who really need a PLAN and can't function without one.

indicate where you will be coming from and which part of the world you'd like to explore. then, money matters! budget travel starts at 400USD to 10,000USD! then you indicate which month you will be traveling and for how many days. pick your interests(art, outdoors, extreme, shopping, etc.), then click get going and the site suggests places that fit your own personalized trip!

although, i wish when i click get going, i magically transport to these places. :) but that's just me. cos then i'd click all the interests, get an infinite amount of money for me traveling in every month of the year forever!

a new place to call home

since, my camera is held hostage, i will post this. my host's flat in oslo.

i can only dream to have the view he has from this flat. see next photo.

i am in my new flat using up my neighbor's internet and im really hoping they never put a password to their connection while i am inhaling noxious fumes from the newly painted walls and ceiling. i have a pullout sofa bed from sabs as my only furniture. its 35+ degrees and i badly need to get a fan amongst other things. this is my new home! at least it's on the way to being a home. a sofa here, a chair there, a table here and a little bit of everything everywhere. soon, it'll be ready. for now, i'll stick with what i can get. :D update: i bought a fan already which will probably eat into my whole month's budget. which reminds me, i need to get a job soon!

you can see the whole of oslo from his place!

in other news, school starts today. can i get a thesis topic already so i can finish it as soon as possible, please!

ps hopefully i can start hosting couchsurfers soon! pictures of my place will follow! :D

Tagaytay and Kinse: Batch 2011 shoot

picking up from my last post, here are some crappy pictures from my mobile during our weekend trip to Tagaytay. it was a nice break. the first weekend i didn't bring home any work! i also got to take advantage of the time and caught up on my sleep after very heavy meals, one for frank's birthday lunch at Chili's then brunch at Tagaytay. And more time for "Into the Wild." more posts on that later.

the pictures are of cool American style houses i really liked in Tagaytay.






then, yesterday, i shot a short film under the direction of Jim Libiran for ANC's Kinse. The film is called Batch 2011 and it focuses on human rights and its origins. We shot at Bahay Nakpil in Quiapo! i don't have any pictures because it was a pretty long day of acting, memorizing lines and all that stuff that by the time we finished, my phone couldn't handle how dark it was already. the house was really nice though! old filipino/spanish style with the capiz windows and wooden furniture! so it was an architecture-filled weekend!

we also felt this intensity 3 earthquake during the shoot! it lasted for a few minutes and we all got a bit of a scare for the possibility of an aftershock! what is it with all these earthquakes and other natural disasters happening?!

a letter to you, my blog

sorry for the absence, go and wander blog.
i've been busy with work. MWF office hours+ overtime + bringing home work + finals week + money problems = me not opting to just forego updating you.
besides, i thought it best to not update you as much since not much going or wandering has been happening in the life of your 'writer.' and the negativity is still pretty much on high levels, i think its the fact that i haven't been satisfying my wanderlust for such a long time. a friend offered me really cheap tickets to boracay but i think i have to take a raincheck. it's not responsible. they did tell me to brace myself for it is not going to be easy. (that's for another story:))

so yeah, with all thats happening, i think all my wandering would just consist of my daily commutes to work. i just filed for overtime yesterday and hopefully that plus my salary is high enough for me to have another trip on my birthday. unless it deems to be irresponsible again.

hope there's wandering to be done soon even if the odds are against it.
