Under The Sea

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

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

Our Melting Pot: You Can Never Go Wrong With Kindness

Nowadays, it is rare to find a place we can truly call home aside from the one where we grew up in. For those living in the city, we sometimes find ourselves yearning to commune with nature to attain peace and solemnity even just for […]

Sagada: A Lazy Day All By Myself

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 […]

Sagada: Of Dark Caves and Waterfalls

My visit to Sagada was sandwiched by two storms. But that did not stop me from aiming to scratch this heavenly place off my bucket list. Armed with little knowledge, I knew perfect adventure awaited me up here. Second day in heaven was spent exploring […]

Camiguin’s Ancestral Houses

Camiguin’s Ancestral Houses

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

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 […]
