Trekking to Taal (Taal, Batangas Part 1)

If you’re from Manila like me, you’ve probably been to Tagaytay a hundred times. This also means you’ve probably seen Taal from afar at least once in your life – I mean, how could you miss that? We book in hotels and dine in restaurants overlooking the volcano. We’ve seen the thing so many times that […]

Misibis Bay at Night

Day or night, Misibis Bay in Cagraray island is a real beauty. You’ve seen my day photos in previous posts (Misibis Bay: A Taste of the Luxury Playground and What’s there to do in Misibis?), so now is the time to share some night shots.

Misibis Bay: A Taste of the Luxury Playground

Likewise, its prices also soar as high as its ratings. We stayed at a One-Bedroom Premiere Villa which normally costs USD 597 (around PHP […]

I Was a Star City Kid

I bet none of you have been to Star City in about 5 million years, and you’re not really planning to return anytime. It was the same for me. Except one blessed, unplanned holiday night, we figured we’d head there just for the heck of it. And perhaps also to relive some childhood memories. Before […]

Black Eyed Peas in Manila: Interesting Revelations

Although a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, I had absolutely no intentions of watching them perform live in Manila last October 25. I’ve already set in my mind that I’d rather put my 10 grand elsewhere. Until around 5:00pm of the concert day, when an officemate presented quite an interesting offer.Free VIP A tickets. […]

Mercato Centrale: Eating on the Sidewalk for a Change

I’ve been hearing so many good things about Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City. My sisters have been bugging me to go there for weeks and weeks. So finally, despite my splitting headache last night, we drove to Fort to check it out.

Royale Tagaytay: Bonding with the Family

Tagaytay is one of those places we people from Manila go to for an “instant” vacation. With the rain coming and going from June to October — you never know when it’s going to pour these days — there aren’t really a lot of activities we could do outdoors. So last month, for my dad’s […]
