After 111 days in Boracay, I am finally home! I still have a few more blog entries about Boracay – I’ll probably be writing about it for months and posting about it on Instagram until 2022 – but I will blog first about our experience going home from Boracay while still in GCQ, wherein only…

Boracay in the New Normal: Where to Eat (Part 3)
Part 3 of my Boracay restaurants list! I thought I would end this at Part 4 but since we got extended again just a few days ago, I think this will actually get until Part 5. We are also trying to try other restaurants so that they will have some business as well. We will…
One Night Only: Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay
We agreed to pick one more hotel to stay at to take a vacation from our vacation. We also wanted to see Punta Bunga Beach. So, considering our budget, we decided to stay overnight at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay. We have an option to do a day pass at any of the three resorts,…
Boracay in the New Normal: Weekends at Puka Beach!
I will write a separate blog about what activities you can do in Boracay during the new normal. Or at least those that we’ve done, or maybe those activities that you can do if it is not your first time in Boracay. But for now, I want to put a spotlight on Puka Beach. I…
Boracay in the New Normal: Where to Eat (Part 1)
Since we have been staying in Boracay for almost 2 months now, we have definitely eaten at tons of restaurants on the island. We don’t do this everyday (mostly during weekends only) so I’m surprised that we have tried so many of them. I was originally planning to do this blog at the end of…
Station X Dip and Dine Experience [2021.02.21]
This was a spur of the moment decision. It was during the weekend of Typhoon Auring and obviously, there was no sun and we didn’t feel like going to the beach. Also, the waves were so strong that day that it is probably much better for surfing than swimming or paddle boarding. I kept seeing…
Workcation Space: Chillax Flashpackers Boracay
We literally just moved to our new place on Monday, but I want to review our stay at Chillax Flashpackers Boracay! It all started with this Facebook post on their page: When I saw this post, I immediately messaged the owner, Dan, and asked for a rate given that there will be three of us…
Boracay in the New Normal: Travel Prep
Quick disclaimer: I am in no way encouraging anyone to go out right now. Whatever you do, whether it is to stay home or go out, safety should always be the number one priority. When I told someone of my plans, his first reaction was WTF, but also told me that I’m an adult and…
Recommended Restaurants in BGC! (Part 2)
I had to split this into 2 parts because I feel like the first part got too long. I just felt like doing 10 for part 1 and then another 10 for part. After many months, here’s part 2 of my recommended restaurants in BGC list – finally! All of these photos were from pre-COVID….
New Year at Anuva Residences [2021.01.01-02]
Celine and Irick spent New Year’s at Anuva Residences in Muntinlupa, but I still had work on the 31st and I didn’t want to leave my mother at home by herself. But I was able to join them on January 1st, at around 8pm. LOL. I was so late! But what’s important is I got…
Jimjilbang Experience: New Lasema Spa [2020.12.27]
Mine and I have been eyeing the New Lasema Spa for a long time! We went to have a massage in the same area a few years ago, so I know exactly where this is located. I have been wanting to get a message and was actually going to check out a Klook voucher but…
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,…
