Banaue Rice Terraces: How To Get There
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Posted by Jane Jane
Because of the beautifully engineered terraces that started at the base of the mountain going up thousands of feet high, Banaue Rice Terraces are considered as Eighth Wonders Of The World.
How to get to Banaue Rice Terraces?
If your starting point is Manila, you can take a bus that will drive you to Banaue. The trip can be a tedious journey, around 8 to 9 hours. But your boring travel can be eliminated as you pass by Banaue's neighboring provinces, such as Nueva Vizcaya, Bayombong, Solano and Bambang. With the sceneries enveloping those places, you can still savor the moment even on a long-hour trip to Banaue.
How about cheap air flight going directly to Banaue from Manila?
Since there are no direct airports located in Banaue, you need to take the Manila airport. And from there you can opt to take a car or a bus service to reach Banaue. Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines are just some of the airlines that have flights to Manila.
Apart from the pristine Banaue Rice Terraces, you can also enjoy the beauty of Banaue as soon as you step on Tappia Falls. Although a long-hour hike is needed to reach that destination, it is worth your time.

Surviving Cancer Blog: An Ovarian Cancer Survivor
Monday, February 08, 2010 Posted by Jane Jane
After a few months of persuading my confidante, G finally said "yes" to my proposal—start a blog that will chronicle her struggle, as well as, her triumph against the pesky ovarian cancer.
Her first post narrates her first encounter with the big C—cancer of the ovary. My memory of her in that clean-shaven head while she's on chemotherapy is still fresh. Like G, I, too, could not believe cancer would invade her strong but slim-built body.
Cancer is no stranger to us. Both G and I attended the same school in college. Both of us are graduates of college degrees related to medicine. Our knowledge about cancer is extensive, I could say. But I guess that same knowledge alone did not assist her from stopping that deadly thing.
Fortunately, G and my father, a prostate cancer victim, are living in this world with advanced technology at arm's reach. Through the latest innovative technology that we have now, we are slowly winning the fight against cancer.
I encourage you to explore her blog and learn more about how to win against ovarian cancer.
