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…

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,…
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…
Planet Grapes: 35th Birthday Brunch! [2020.11.14]
I met up with Celine and Irick on Nov 14th for brunch. Celine had a vet appointment in Mandaluyong so we decided to meet up in Shang. It was also Celine’s birthday on the 6th and mine on the 13th, so you could say this was our birthday brunch. Up until that morning, we didn’t…
Filling Station: First Dinner Out After 6 Months! [2020.09.22]
For the past 6 months, the only time I’ve gone out is when I need to go to the grocery, which is once every 2 weeks. A few weeks ago, my friend Celine, invited me and another friend, Irick to go and have dinner in Makati. She saw that Filling Station is open so we…

What to Do in Siargao for 9 Days
Siargao is the last leg of our trip and we stayed here for 9 days. Our original flight back home, though, was from Butuan, because I kind of wanted to explore Surigao as well. 9 days in Siargao is too long, but that’s what we did anyway. I will also share later why we ended…
Recommended Restaurants in BF Homes!
Yup, still putting off that Siargao blog so this time, I’m writing about some cool places we went to slash recommended restaurants in BF Homes in Paranaque last December 2019 and February 2020! Since we are probably not going to have any new adventures soon, why not write about old ones and promote small businesses?…
