Just so I wouldn’t end up titling this blog post “Barkada Beach Day” (shout out to post before this one: Ballet Day, hahaha), I thought I’d put something seemingly random and hopefully find the creativity to tie it all in later. Post title is a reference to the Click 5 song that is now a staple in our…
CEBU’S BEST KEPT SECRET: KANDAYA RESORT
Whoamygod. I can’t believe it’s been a year since my #MAYcation (aka: that time I took a month off work, went to New York, Cebu, and attended my best girl’s wedding in Manila). Even harder to believe is that my May Day Playlist is 2 years old! WHAAAT. Time flies, man. Anyway, you’re probably like, “Stop…
ONCE ON THIS ISLAND
It was soooo hot in Singapore today that I wished I could just submerge myself in water. Sadly, I have no tub nor pool and going all the way to Sentosa doesn’t really promise a dose of vitamin sea. So after grocery shopping (I am finally committing to doing right by my lung-infected self’s call…
TUMALOG FALLS PHOTODIARY
I am currently in NAIA 3, sweating like a mad person and all I can think of is submerging myself in Tumalog Falls’ icy waters. Visiting the falls in Oslob last 2015 was quite an experience. Yes, it was beautiful and the falls were picturesque, but I think it was the fact you had to…
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SWIMMING WITH WHALE SHARKS
Swimming with whale sharks was always something I’ve wanted to do ever since I found out you can, which was back in high school from the Belle du Jour planner, hehe! The night before our scheduled swim in Oslob, I did a quick google search and found there were quite a lot of people on…
THAT FAMOUS CEBU LECHON
If you’re in Cebu, it would be blasphemous not to try the lechon (roast pig). Prior to my trip to the Queen City of the South, I asked my cousin Luigi for recommendations and one of his suggested places was Zubuchon, you know, the “best pig, ever” according to Anthony Bourdain. A quick Google Maps search…
ROADTRIP UP NORTH: Dagupan, Manaoag, and Clark
Such a gorgeous sunset, noh? This was taken from our recent road trip to the North of Luzon. I almost missed it had I not woken up momentarily from my nap and saw Luke busy snapping these. No wonder he was so excited, the sky had decided to show off. 🙂 It was a really…
WINGS AND MACARONS DATE
Combining two of the things I miss the most about Manila on my first morning back – good food and my mom. 🙂 Straight from the airport, we had wings for lunch. I recently tried a wings place here in Singapore that serve something like garlic parmesan and lemon pepper but it didn’t come close…
THE WORLD IS MINE
{shopRTF vest, topshop tee, bazaar shorts} A random Thursday going around the almost car-free Metro Manila. Edsa Guadalupe, English bulldog!!!, Ayala Triangles, The Fort, Jamba Juice, Dwaeji or Pig bar aka the best ice cream ever – even beats Magnum #truestory, failed attempt at Trimo Shawarma (as recommended by my favorite couple from Love Chic), dinner…
LIPA-LAIYA PHOTODIARY
Heyya guys! Since you said here that you love roadtrips too, I thought we’d go on a digital mini-roadtrip of some sort this lazy Sunday. These photos were taken on our recent trip to Laiya via Lipa almost 2 weeks ago. Random fact: Lipa,Batangas is the hometown of my lolo. 🙂 first stop: the San Sebastian Cathedral…
