Where Nature Meets Adventure: Mountain Lake Resort, Cavinti, Laguna
Wide spaces and fresh air are always my greatest breather. My heart and my mind are in an instant state of relief and decongestion from all the worries and anxiety as the vastitude takes it away from me. There is this freeing feeling in my core; sensing a tinge of giddiness in my bones, allowing frivolity in my life, absorbing every element in my soul – as I see the blue sky a canopy to a land covered in green that grows luxuriantly everywhere. I embrace everything in peace and silence – all these I felt the moment I set foot in Caliraya Spring Mountain Lake Resort. About Mountain Lake…

Sleep well, Pay Less: Experience Zen Rooms in Gramercy Residences in Century City, Makati
My friends and family know me well for not being a big fan of staycations. I just think that staying and sleeping in a hotel room in a city is not entirely different from staying at home. Further, I never lived for cities. I always got a feeling that the buildings and people are constantly squeezing me in making me feel suffocated and claustrophobic. Well, I am true sucker for some actions, beach, camping, ocean waves, free diving, forests and nature – anywhere near the waters and flora. But then, the frequent out of town has got me so tired and spending at the same time that I needed some…

Maxx Hotel: A New Business and Lifestyle Hotel in Makati
I am based in Tagaytay City but it is often that I get deals and projects at the Metro. Despite the countless times that I have traveled to the city, I have and will never get used to the hustle of it. The heavy traffic and jams, the amount of people that I get to encounter and walk with and the towering buildings make me feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable. The travel itself is also a challenge since I have to leave home at least three to four hours earlier than my appointment. Recently, I got tired by this and resorted to staying for a night somewhere and Maxx Hotel, I’d…

A Peaceful Sojourn in Camp Benjamin, Alfonso, Cavite
The first time that I set foot in Camp Benjamin was in 2010, when I was still in college and we had the Basic University Training in Lasallian Leadership. It was also some sort of team building and the venue was more than perfect for such an event. It was also the very first time I was introduced to ‘Glamping’ or glamorous camping. I was truly fascinated with how the tent was set up with mattresses, a small dining table for two or three persons and a small receiving area. We stayed in a pavilion type of convention area during our activities and we thought we had the whole place…

2018 Subic Bay SEA Series Finale Trifecta Weekend
“A race for the hardcore; definitely not for the weakling“ This is how I described the Spartan Race after I have witnessed one held in Subic Bay last September 16, 2018. Spartan Race is not anyone’s ordinary run or race. Participants are expected to run, climb, throw, push, pull, jump, crawl and more as there are several obstacles on their way to the finish line. Do it and you’ll pass and continue with the run; or, fail and do a couple of burpees. It will challenge you to go not just out of your comfort zone but way, way far from it for you will get soaked in water, sun,…

Nueva Ecija’s Crystal Waves Hotel and Resort Review and Travel Guide
With the scorching heat and glaring rays of the sun, we could not help but admit that it is that time of the year where everyone goes out with friends and family in wide-brimmed hats, in thin-cloth and light colored clothes or in swim wears, with a glass of ice cold freshly squeezed fruit juice or some smoothie or a cone of ice cream on one hand. Yes, it’s summer, at last! Due to the heat that it brings, we then crave for some splash of and a dip into the cold waters. Blessed are those people who live nearby and a few-hour drive to beaches and rivers for they…
