Travel in the Time of COVID-19: Quick Tagaytay Weekend [2020.11.28-30]
Even before November, Celine and I have been talking about doing a staycation for our birthday this year since we had to cancel our annual birthday trip. We did a survey amongst our friends and given the circumstances, obviously, not everyone is comfortable with that. So during our birthday brunch back in mid-November, Celine, Irick,…
Dining Out in the Time of COVID-19: Hanamaruken + Elephant Grounds [2020.11.22]
Obviously, there is still a pandemic going on and staying home is still key to everything. I am sure though that we are all feeling the quarantine burnout and with everything slowly opening up, I have been more comfortable to see friends even if it’s just over dinner, brunch or coffee. Of course, while staying…

SUMMER IN SAN JUAN, ELYU[2019.05.18-20]
It’s been about 6 years when I last went to San Juan, La Union. I used to go a lot back when I was still living in Baguio because it’s just 2 hours away. But coming from Manila, it takes around 6 hours and even longer during holidays. We originally scheduled this for early May…
THE QUEST FOR THE ADARNA + TOP OF THE GLO [2019.09.22]
I haven’t gone out with friends for weeks so I was excited to finally come out to join my friends in watching The Quest for the Adarna on Sept 22nd. While we all learned about this story when we were kids, not everyone remembers it! I don’t remember it. I don’t recall that the second…
PLANETARIUM + RIZAL PARK + SEA RESIDENCES [2019.08.10-11]
