Batanes: An Isolated Paradise

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful and a wonder of nature place to enjoy your vacation, Batanes is surely a must place to visit.

Ever since I was in high school I always dream of getting to Batanes. I heard and read lots of great stories about this place. Simple living, nice people, great environment and lots of beautiful sceneries, a perfect escape from the busy urban living.

The Province of Batanes is the smallest province in the Philippines both in land area and population. It is located at the northernmost part of the country. It is composed of ten islands and only four are inhabited.

The natives of Batanes are called Ivatans. Farming and fishing is the main source of living. Ivatans have a very simple way of living. According to a documentary from Jessica Soho, most of them use bicycle going to work or school.

I also want to see the "Honesty Coffee Shop" wherein people will just go inside the store and pick whatever goods they want and just put the payment in a box. No one looks after the shop, the owner will just drop by to replenish the items in the store and to check how much she has earned for the day, solely relying on the honesty of every customers.

Aside from the traditions and values of the people, Batanes is very famous for its precious sceneries. A great place to lay back and relax but i think it won't be possible because you will surely enjoy and explore the place.

So if only I have the money and time, I'll definitely check out this place!!! It's one of my dreams!!!


This is definitely a must place to visit that's why I'm giving this 8 out of 10 AMBITION POINTS!!!

Hayden Cam

It's almost a month now since the Hayden Kho video scandal with stars like Katrina Halili and Maricar has dominated the Philippine showbiz news. Even the senate has intervened with the issue and it's now a talk of the town.

I personally has watched the video and instead of excitement, i felt disappointment for Katrina Halili and anger with Hayden Kho... I really love Kat ever since her starstruck days because she's a real goddess. I'm so sad that she became a victim of such pervetry by a doctor whom in my point of view is not qualified to be addressed as a doctor. He is an animal, an insane pervert who would like to display how he made beautiful ladies bow to him.

How sad that the reputation Katrina has worked for will just be destroyed with a single video. And despite this video I'll still love her... Hope she will recover...

Damn you doctor quack quack!!!
