Detoxification has earned quite a reputation, both with advocates and with those who haven’t even tried it. I belong to the latter group and frankly speaking, detoxification doesn’t appeal to me partly because I have a love-hate relationship with raw food and partly because I do not fancy the tedious process that goes with it. But then again, just to be fair with my judgment, I welcomed the idea and gave it a try.

I have often visited Boracay, not really to escape and relax, but for the legendary beach parties which made it famous. But this time I wanted to try something different as what point would there be to another escape be if I didn’t try something new?

Thanks to the Discovery Channel, international lifestyle magazines, and our kabayans who’ve spent some time in this “City of Gold,” Filipinos already have an idea of what Dubai can offer: mammoth shopping malls replete with every designer name imaginable; sprawling, celebrity-owned villas and condominium units in The Palm and Jumeirah; and blinged-out socialites and Emirati emerging from Hummers and Ferraris at star-studded international film festivals.

While that may hold true for some, others might feel more comfortable knowing that they actually have somewhere to sleep when they get to their destination, particularly for long trips or considerable holidays that last for months at a time. Whether one chooses to stay in a backpacker’s dormitory or a more lavish hotel, arranging for accommodations is just as important as the various visas, papers, immigration cards, and seat sales of the new world.

Have I been here before?
A certain hint of nostalgia engulfed me as I walked the paved pathways of the mountain lake resort. There was something familiar about the log houses, which were elevated by stilts to provide a breathtaking view of the placid waters. Was I here for a high school retreat or perhaps the scenario was just a figment of my subconscious which forced its way to some memories of reality?

The Philippines has much to offer. Its rich history, colorful and indigenous traditions, friendly and hospitable people, and exotic cuisine make it a country like no other in the world. It is a nation that is full of potential in the field of global tourism.
