The Pinoy Travel Bloggers Bagets: Bright Meek Stars

when i started to blog about my travels, god sent me unexpectedly and unpredictably, extraordinary people who share the same passion, dream, and wishes.


there have been many of them, that i have met and traveled with, and have known by heart.   yes, i have been travelling by myself. but i also give myself a chance to travel with them.


Trek to Mt. Pinatubo on January 28, 2012



you can not blame me if i choose these pinoy travel bloggers to occupy some part of my life. they are cool, free, simple, sweet, down to earth, passionate, young and young at heart, comic, fun to be with, at "walang arte arte". 




some of them travel solo, and also take the off the beaten tracks, like i do. but there are circumstances that fate brings us as one. and it is a unique experience of togetherness.

with Estan Cabigas of Langyaw.com at Thai Me Up in Cagayn de Oro, Misamis Oriental on March 3, 2012
with EazyTraveler.com (Edgar Allan Zeta-Yap) in Calayan Island, Cagayan Valley on April 5, 2012




i am sincerely indebted to this group Pinoy Travel Bloggers (PTB) and PTB Bagets, for having me join their groups.   they are stars at their own right. and i believe that it is just right to give them all that respect and recognition that they deserve.


they truly deserve your support, as they are the ones who lead and guide you in your travels, somehow. they give their free time, at their own expense.


they get bruises when they climb mountains. 
they get insect bites in the islands of nowhere.
they get bumped off from flights.
they are sometimes weekend warriors, who squeeze in trips in between regular jobs.
they use up their own earnings just to travel.
they spend sleepless nights just to do the write up of their travels.
they sacrifice many things just to travel.
they are not soooo rich as many think so. (well, many are truly rich though) :)
many other extraordinary things they do, 
for the love of travel, and more than that.

they wear that "star" above their humble names while i make sure that i know their true names behind their pen names/website. 


i thank God for these wanderers who cross each other's paths in this wide wide world of "travel, explore, and savor", and much much more.


happy safe joyous journeys! enjoy life Bagets!
