Tick tock.          It was Friday, the 18th of September. After 10 years, this was going to be my first trip outside the Philippines. Last time it was with my mom, now it's with Lawrence. In a nutshell, this trip is extra-extra-extra-super-duper special for me as I 've been longing to visit Thailand ever since FOREVER. Whew.      To kick off this upcoming trip, we bought beer and vodka and merrily drank our sans souci Saturday away. By the way, this was my first real vacation. In the hospital, seniority complex was a common thing that we had to cut vacations short. I've always despised it. Checklist please: 1. monopod (Now I know why people are raving over this thing. It was so useful!) 2. Swim wear (I ordered one online. Yep, I was THAT excited. LOL ) 3. Money (We saved a couple of thousands in exchange for USD. We should have bought some when the exchange rate was low. Lesson learned.) 4. Sunblock 5. An adventurous heart (tri...

September 23, 2015. Definitely a day for water babies.      I love the beach. There is no other way to put it. I can bask under the warm sun, listen to the sound of birds singing, waves rolling in and lay on the sand for hours on end. My freckles serve as a recollection of the days when sunblock was of no existence to me. I simply love it. So that day was spent for our scheduled three-island tour. Phi Phi Lay Island, Phi Phi Don Island, and Khai Nok Island with some side trips to Maya Bay and Monkey Beach.      It got pretty gloomy that morning while we were heading to Royal Phuket Marina. I prayed for the sun to come out soon! We were oriented by an awesome host! His (Her) name was Coco Chanel (No. 5). We were so lucky to have her as our guide because she was all out madness! No regrets booking the premium service tour! Blue and Pink bands were given to the guests upon arrival. If you paid ahead, make sure to bring the payment slip because you're g...

Four more days 'til paradise!  It hasn't sunk in until now. I'm ready for the beach! My skin is ready to be sunkissed. This heart is going to race with excitement and wonder. My memories are ready to be filled. Live for the moment! #Wanderlust Phi Phi Island (credits to Google)

Hello folks! Long time no...write. Heehee! When you juggle so may things it's hard to let your imagination tick. Now let's all get back to the main point of this super late post. I'm just going to make this short and quick! Barako Haus. Location: Maria Cristina Ext.. , Cebu City Open from 7:00 a.m - 12:00 mn Wi-Fi: available Landmark: Beside Baseline Residences and next to a salon near Sacred Heart School- Hijas de Jesus I had been eyeing this cafe countless times. Everytime I passed by (it's just a five minute walk from my place), it always aroused my caffeine curiosity.

     In a municipality with a population of 28,000 ++, of course you'd already think that this place must have some private getaway where you can LITERALLY get away from killer stress. You got that right, dears! Catmon is a place you have to drop by when you come to beautiful Cebu. It's about two to three hours away from the city proper, by car, that is. It's situated in the Northern part of Cebu. Personally, I prefer the north to the south because I think that the south is just too rowdy. They have better and more pristine beaches than the north, but there's just too many people that it feels like you haven't escaped the bustle the city already provides us too much of. The road to Catmon made me take a quick walk along memory lane, back when my family and I were on a road trip from Ilo-ilo to Boracay. Lateral to the road is the magnificent view of the sea and it seemed endless. It gave me a sense of peace just looking at it. No city turmoil, no smelly garbage, no ...

     Right in the middle of bustling Cebu lies a coffee shop that is a secret hideaway from it all. Just at the corner of Elizabeth Pond is Bintana.  Bintana   means window in Filipino language. Compared with other contemporary cafes here in Cebu, this place offers more of a shabby chic and homey atmosphere that's sure to give you a good warm snug. The entrance

The olden yet classy architecture and culture - rich district. Vietnam combines both French and Chinese origins in one magnificent city, Hanoi. Next Stop, Hanoi. <3 See you when I see you!
