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 […]
I finally got to see Sam Smith live at the Manila leg of “The Thrill of It All World Tour” at the SM Mall of Asia Arena! I remember regretting not buying tickets for his first concert here three years back. His album “In the Lonely Hour” was our soundtrack when playing mahjong back in […]
The main reason for my coming home to Cebu this month is to attend Adia’s Jollibee birthday party! Meeting Chowa and Al again is just a close second! Haha. No favoritisms but Adia is literally my favorite godchild because how can you resist this cute baby?! The party was at 7PM, but considering Cebu’s traffic, […]
My brother woke me up super early today – like 5:30 in the morning – for breakfast! I got up and prepared some coffee and just chilled like one would on an early Sunday morning. After breakfast, I basically just stayed in my room and spent time on the blog, watched videos on YouTube, but […]
I have been to Boracay several times, and it’s always been the White Beach area from Station 2 to Station 1. This time, I ended up on the other side of Boracay because I was looking for a cheap place to stay in for a night. And I think I just found a treasure. In […]
I’m not a big fan of desserts, so when I stumbled upon Crepe Amelie’s Dulce de Leche, it felt like love at first sight (or taste, rather). Just cutting through this masterpiece, cream oozing out of each layer of crepe – looks and feels so good. And the moment you take a bite – bursts […]
Looking for the next tourist attraction in Cebu? This “Greek/Roman” temple sitting atop Busay is not yet fully complete, but a lot of people are already visiting for its “instagrammability” and that overlooking view of the Queen City. This temple is a man’s tribute to his late wife, very much similar to how India’s Taj Mahal […]
I am not a music man, in the sense that I don’t really create my own music – but I am a music man, in the sense that I feel incomplete without it. I can’t imagine life without music. And because I love music so much, I listen to all types of music, from all genres, and […]
It was just a few years ago when these gentle giants were spotted near the shores of Oslob, Cebu. Back then, you had to visit Donsol in Sorsogon to see the whale sharks and swim with them. Locally called as Butanding, these whale sharks feed on uyop (baby shrimp or something that looks like it) and […]
One should not be a tourist in his own country. And more importantly, one has to learn of the people who have lived their lives and died fighting for our country’s freedom. Our next stop is the Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery. Laguna is one of the first 8 provinces that revolted against Spanish rule and has […]
