Taiwan: Day 2 – Jiufen (Part 1)

This post is long overdue. I have been super lazy with updating this blog so here goes another attempt to just put out a post! The pandemic has also had me itching to travel, so for now, I’ll make do with going down memory lane. I’m sorry if I’m no longer able to recall the […]

Taiwan: Day 1 – Eating & Drinking Around Taipei (Part 2)

So, where were we? We just finished up with Liberty Square and were starving from all of the walking. It was finally time for lunch. Little did I know that after this, the rest of the day was going to be filled with food (and drinks). Hangzou Xiao Long Bao We decided to try the […]

Taiwan: Day 1 – Walking around Taipei (Part 1)

Last May 2, 2019, I visited a place I have never been to for the first time. Taiwan is a controversial “country” because of its complicated history with China (which I won’t dwell on, but read up on it if you’re interested). Together with friends from work and my brother (who was traveling outside the […]

Singapore Eats

One of the best things to do when in Singapore is to eat. In our short weekend trip last March, I had to suspend my Ketogenic diet because how can one resist all of the amazing food this country has to offer? Just like the Philippines, Singapore’s cuisine is a influenced by the many cultures […]

The Art of Minimalism

Last March, we visited Kristi for a short but fun weekend in Singapore. This was already my fourth time in the country and so I didn’t have any specific place to see or thing to do – other than visit an exhibit on Minimalism as an art movement at the National Gallery. The exhibit starts […]

Dicasalarin Cove

People normally go to Baler to surf. Sabang Beach, the main beach where people go to surf doesn’t exactly have the best sand quality in terms of color or texture. But, 8 kilometers away from Sabang is a cove with white sand beach and clear waters. There’s not a lot of people there, too! Dicasalarin […]

Baler Road Trip

Baler – known for its waves and as one of the 3 top surfing sites in Luzon (coming from a non-surfer) – was our destination for last weekend’s quick road trip. Hannah came to visit us from Cebu and it has been a while since she’s visited Manila. She wanted to go on a road […]

OSAKA/KYOTO AUTUMN 2017 – DAY 3: KYOTO WITH JUN!

So, on our third day, we met a new friend and spent one full day in Kyoto. Meet Jun! Just kidding – we did meet a new friend named Jun. He is Mhealler’s former workmate from when he was working back for a law firm. He was our tour guide for the day, and we […]

Osaka/Kyoto Autumn 2017 – Day 2: Dotonbori/Osaka Castle

On the 2nd day of our trip, Rhys finally arrived but without her precious baggage. It wasn’t a good start for her vacation although we tried our best to convince her that everything would be alright! Because Rhys didn’t have her luggage – the only clothes she had were the ones she was wearing. So, […]

Osaka/Kyoto Autumn 2017 – Day 1: Namba/Dotonbori

This took 1 year in the making. I have been slacking off a lot, but since I just renewed my domain (and it isn’t cheap), I have to make the most out of it. So, here goes a series of throwback posts on our Osaka/Kyoto Autumn last October 2017 with Azure Laagans – starting with […]
