Today was the much-awaited day for my niece Keith Joy and her long-time boyfriend Kelvin. It's their Wedding Day and we were so honored to be part of their celebration! Congratulations!!
Even after the reception ended in the afternoon, the party continued on with a bonfire at the beach in the evening :)
I started this blog as an alternative to talking to my mom who died so suddenly. It has evolved since then as an online journal for my family's adventures and misadventures - our travels, our dining out, our entertainment and so much more! Feel free to leave your reactions :)
2018 Calayan Adventure - Day 04 - A Birthday/Family Reunion Celebration and a Sunset Tour in Punta Magsidel
03 April 2018
Traveling to my Dad's hometown is actually pretty insane considering the distance, modes of transport and time required to reach it. But we made the journey out of love, out of familial responsibility and of gratitude for the people we consider our own.
One of the reasons for this trip happened today - a celebration of birthdays for Uncle Angel, Auntie Biyang and my Dad...

2018 Calayan Adventure - Day 03 - Hiking to Sibang Cove
02 April 2018
Aaah! Sibang Cove - pristine white sand, blue-green waters, relative isolation... you're worth the 40 minute, grueling hike....
This was where we decided to have our family pictorial to commemorate the reunion of the Paypon siblings.
Food for the picnic was brought over by lampitaw, including relatives who weren't able to make the trek.
Happy to share our pictures with you! :)

2018 Calayan Adventure - Day 02 - Traveling to Calayan Island (Claveria to Calayan)
01 April 2018
Happy Easter everyone! Today is the day we board the boat on our way to Calayan Island, my dad's hometown. It's exciting because it's been 10 years since we were last there and the kids don't probably remember much about that trip, so this is like a new experience for them...
This post shows you our journey from Claveria to Calayan... Look out for more of the rest of the journey in the succeeding posts... :)

2018 Calayan Adventure: Day 01 - Traveling to Calayan Island (Manila-Tuguegarao-Claveria)
31 March 2018
Traveling to Calayan Island is a journey in itself. This post covers the trip from Manila to Tuguegarao, then to Claveria. We stayed overnight at a resort in Claveria because boats to Calayan only travel in the morning and at the very latest, noon.
The rest of the trip continues in the next posts :)
