With the Muji water dipper ad coming out along with the memes and clapbacks, I remembered the yellow tabo I used in Maui last month. The first thing I looked for when I inspected the bathroom of the rented condo was a bidet. There wasn’t one. There were plenty of drinking glasses which were always […]
MoreAs I expected, I woke up late on my first day in Maui. Take it as if it’s the weekend where I begin my day past 9 am, I told myself. The Y and I were starving so we did what many people do to decide where to go and get food — check other […]
MoreHalfway through my short trip and I can say I already got the hang of it — I was waking up on island time, my body and the weather already reached an understanding, and I was raring to tick off items in my to-do and to-visit list. Woke up early on a Monday to go […]
MoreOn my fifth day in Honolulu, on a Monday morning no less, I started the day hiking the crater of Diamond Head. It is a very common must-do for tourists because of its proximity to Waikiki and that it’s a short trek for such an amazing view. From Waikiki I took Bus #23 plying the […]
MoreAaaand my island adventures continue. Note that I am writing this nine months after they happened. The nostalgia and the longing bite me hard. I really should have finished writing this sooner, as in as soon as I was flying back home. Still not waking up early, and a part of me kind of regretted […]
MoreThat’s got to be one of the most forced titles ever. But hey, let us still talk about it. Because why not? One of my bestfriends is traveling to Honolulu in a few weeks and I cannot help but envy that she’s going, so I am pushing her way all suggestions that I possibly can […]
MoreI am off to a different continent with one of my bestfriends in a few days. To say that I have prepared for this well won’t be true. I may write about the trip upon our return, and I’m sure highlights will be in my Instagram stories, but at this point I’m practically not ready […]
MoreI just came back from an amazing Honolulu trip! I was there for seven full days. I planned it six weeks before my departure date which left me with a few expensive options but overall it was worth it. Besides, any travel I make in January will always be worth the damage to the pocket. […]
MoreI recently went to Bacolod and one of the highlights of my trip was indulging in the back ribs craze of the city. I love meat and a big bonus in Bacolod is that their food there is relatively cheaper. And it’s not as if they scrimp on size and taste because oh boy, they […]
MoreThe first half of 2016 didn’t fly as fast as the past years and I can attribute it to opportunities to travel since January. Hindi pa din naman jetsetter levels but knowing me and my attachment to sleeping in and my catatonic extent of TV and movie marathoning, this has been a welcome change. I was […]
MoreOne month down, eleven to go! The first month of the year swished just like that. It was fun though. And fast. Let’s see, what was I up to last month? January holds a soft spot for me mainly because of my birthday. Cash-strapped but adventurous, I managed to enjoy my 32nd birthday up at a mountain in […]
MoreHappy New Year! When I did a rundown of the first half of my 2013, it was quite eventful and hopeful. The last half of the year was pretty much the same. Of course, there’s still the “Another year has passed, what now?” vibe by December 31. ON TRAVELS October saw me, and friends Rach […]
MoreHalf of the year is over. If you think it went too fast, I say it’s just about right. It’s been an eventful ride. Highlights? You may have read about THE pox. The rollercoaster of emotions involving my one true love: reading books. I also climbed Mt. Batulao. Helped in a bay cleanup in celebration […]
MoreThe year is about to end so what better way to bookend it than a list of great, wonderful things I experienced this year. I may have had setbacks which I took really seriously but overall, it’s a very blessed year for yours truly. Best Event: Turning 30. It’s just a number, yes, but it’s […]
