The Little Prince, My Love
My Love, It was one cold night. As I took a peek outside, I didn’t realize that I was holding my breathe for a few seconds already. The stars were bursting their light up in the skies! Oh what a beaut I thought. […]
Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun and the Surprise Proposal
I’m a sucker for romantic endings, weddings, red roses and more so for a real life fairy tale ending. And Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun seemed a good enough place for a marriage proposal.<3 Better known to foreign tourists as White Temple, it is actually […]
The Classics, Him and Moon River
I find watching films, may it be old or new, enthralling. I can compare it to reading a book but watching movies for me has a different charm altogether. When watching Filipino films, I often prefer the older ones. The older the better. I think. […]
Meeting Brunei’s Royal Family: An Event to Remember
When my good friend Claire and I were planning our first travel together, we initially considered going to Taiwan. But learning that she might have future plans to go there with her boyfriend Rem, I told her we can consider another country. I suggested the […]

I was at an intersection of my traveling life the past year. Other personal obligations put a limit to my traveling horizon. But I was still able to explore new places nonetheless. Indeed, God will always have something for you even if you began doubting […]
Endless Lazing at Isla de Boracay
I think I haven’t missed visiting Boracay, sans one year, since 2008. I don’t know why I keep on going back. I know there are better beaches hidden all over the Philippines but I guess White Beach’s allure is the answer or some Boracay mystery […]
Miss Universe 2016
I was still a very young lady when the last Miss Universe pageant was held here in the Philippines. I had no means to see the contestants live back then. But I fondly remember the sari-sari stores in our area were selling pictures and paper […]
