Under The Sea
Aug 16, 2014. This was the date that I have scratched off another thing off my bucket list. I was unaware that I would be able to do this very soon! I convinced my college friend, and now my dive buddy, Chie, to take introductory […]
The Mermaid Learned to Bike
August 2014 was a big month for me. All weekends were booked. I smile as I remembered a friend saying I was just like a celebrity, you need to have a scheduled appointment if you want to see me. 🙂 It was the second weekend. […]
Our Melting Pot: You Can Never Go Wrong With Kindness

Sagada: A Lazy Day All By Myself
Third day in Sagada. It was a bit quiet as new friends were already leaving that morning. We woke up early and had our first and last breakfast together. Jaja and James, the uber-sweet couple, were already at Strawberry Cafe while RJ and I followed […]

I grew up in tiny houses, though livable, doing so made me dream to have my own someday. Grand, spacious and airy – similar to a Disney castle, quite like in the article I read (click here). Or at least close to those types. However, my love […]
Camiguin: The Island Born of Fire
It has been a long, humid day. Boarding time took three and a half hours and another thirty minutes before we sailed away. I could not believe what I was seeing in front of me as our vessel slowly approached the shores of Camiguin island. […]
The Jaw-Dropping Calasiao Church
The moment I learned we were to attend a friend’s wedding in Lingayen, Pangasinan, I knew I couldn’t pass visiting this church just two rides away from the capitol. I insisted, constantly reminded, basically reprimanded my companions to include this in our bucket list. I […]
