Why You Should Date a Traveler: Pinay Travel Bloggers to Die For

February 29, 2012


If you're feeling like Joaquin Phoenix because you are obsessed in finding your own version of Nicole Kidman, then you must be doing something wrong. Because you are looking at the wrong ones, the ideal woman do not stand long-legged nor has blonde hair and appear as a magazine cover girl - all the superficial package, but lacking the most important traits of all - The kick-ass level 9 and rising attributes. You know the girl in the "Twilight" movies who sits by the window and awaits for her man? nah-you won't read about that type in this post.

I could simply say "The big bell of Pan-ay Church," but no—traveling gives you the incredible opportunity to see the vast, fantastic wonders of this world, and sometimes you just kind of scuttle and secretly struggle to find the right adjectives to properly describe certain things and places you see. In this specific case, I have to channel my best Alex impersonation and confidently throw in a couple of A Clockwork Orange slang terms to fittingly put a creative title to this travel post.
