Cuatro Cantos

Summer sits around the corner once more, and you might be probably thinking of your summer plans as well. I would recommend paying a visit to the Beach Resorts of Anilao Batangas, for a different kind of deep sea adventure. There are lots of diving sites in Anilao Batangas and before I talk about it, let me tell you first how to get there.

Option A – How to go to Anilao Batangas
From the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), head towards the South Luzon Express Way (SLEX) via Sucat Parañaque or via EDSA, whichever is more comfortable. Drive along SLEX and take Lucena/Batangas Exit. Drive pass through Calamba Laguna and take the STAR Tollway in Sto. Tomas Batangas. The end of the STAR Tollway leads to Diversion road in Balagtas Batangas which leads to the International Port of Batangas if you take the flyover. DO NOT take the flyover, instead make a right turn to Bauan Batangas. Upon exiting Bauan proper, the road yields to a Y junction. Take the left of the Y and the long winding road will lead you to Mabini. You will pass through a zigzig road which leads you to another Y junction. This time take the right of the Y and it will take you to Anilao Batangas and to other places with beautiful beach resorts.

Option B
Just follow option A so you won’t get confused.

Now let’s talk about the options and places you might enjoy in Anilao Batangas. If you’re adventurous person, you would probably like to experience under the sea adventures and lots of SCUBA diving places in Anilao will satisfy you. And if you’re there just to relax and burn your smooth skin under the sun, there are even lots of it in Anilao. Why don’t you just take a peek at the below list?

Anilao is like the best tourism capital in Mabini Batangas, and we Mabinitos are proud of it. I made the term Mabinitos - copyrighted.

After many hesitations to install/upgrade this blog and my other blogs to Wordpress 2.7, I finally decided to give it a try. We all know there are detailed instructions on Wordpress.org but as a man who doesn’t have time reading tips and tricks, I just don’t read it.

Really excited about the new admin theme of Wordpress, I take all the risks and installed to the latest. I did not backup, did not follow all the instructions and just overwrite everything with the new files. And it worked really perfectly without having any issues. And now I encourage everyone to upgrade right after reading my personal tips.

1. Download the latest Wordpress package
2. Extract the package in any folder on you host. It will extract the files inside a folder named ‘wordpress’
3. Copy all the extracted files. (not the whole wordpress folder)
4. Overwrite all the files inside your blog’s wordpress directory by pasting the copied files
5. Go to your admin page. You will be prompted to upgrade, do as it says.
6. Done.

This process is risky but it did not bring any at all to me. It’s safe in my case.

And apparently, wp-config file doesn’t require any changes as well.

Our 4-day long vacation in Cebu is about to end today, well, actually ended but we’re still in Cebu airport, stranded. We missed to check-in on time, and we had to avail tickets for the next flight. It’s an experience, not too good, but I guess it should be part of it. You know, “you won’t learn to ride a bike until you fall”.

We are on the 5:20PM flight to Manila via PAL, so we have plenty of time to waste in this lounge.

I’d like to summarize our vacation all in all, but not now. Probably on my next post, I’m gonna gather all the words I need, plus the pictures I took.

Happy Valentines Day!

The weather since we arrived in Cebu hasn’t changed. It’s rainy, heard a news that there’s gonna be signal no.1 typhoon but we’re going with our agenda. We’re currently preparing for our trip to Bohol, the ferry leaves at 8:30AM so we have to be there by 7:30 to avoid any unexpected circumstance.

By the way, our exploration of the city hasn’t started yet. We just enjoyed our stay at the Crown Regency Fuente Cebu, and comforted ourselves on their bed and indulged in Lechon Cebu and Adobong Pusit.

Today is Valentines Day, so happy valentine to all of you. I am expecting a package from Island Rose and since we’re out today, I informed the desk to receive the package for me and I will check back when we return. Honey doesn’t know anything about this. Do you think she’ll be surprised? I hope so.

By for now, we’re running late. See you again. Have a nice Valentines Day.

Arrived at the NAIA Terminal 3 passed 7AM for a 10:30 flight via Cebu Pacific. Glad we’re early, we avoided many hassles. Traffic, check-in delays, etc. We had quick breakfast at The Delifrance Cafe inside the terminal while waiting. We also had some photo shoot and some fun.

Like we anticipate, our flight was delayed. Good thing we’re booked at an early schedule, we had enough time and we’re not delayed for hotel check-in.

We arrived at the Mactan Airport at 12 NN, got a cab and went straight to Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu City.

We comfort ourselves in a Deluxe Room for a while at 3PM, that’s right now, we’re having our lunch at Mr. Grill restaurant located at the 21st floor of the hotel.

I’ll be back for more updates and probably photos of the trip.
