Experience Serenity and Exclusivity in the Newest Resort in San Juan, Batangas – Seashore Beach Club
It was my first time in San Juan, Batangas, a town that is two to three hours away from Manila depending on the traffic, and I’ve always known it because of Laiya where resorts are always fully booked. I was told that we’ll be going to Brgy. Calubcub, which I just honestly heard for the first time. We drove along paved roads with towering coconut trees on the side and where there were no commercial buildings until we reached Seashore Beach Club in San Juan. It was a sunny summer Saturday yet and there’s not much people on the beach. It was not yet fully furnished during our visit but I…

Tribe and Trek Zambales: An Adventure that Matters with the Yangil Tribe
When I started traveling, all I cared about was nothing but good photos of me and the scenic spots of the spectacular places that this world hold. I got nothing but a romantic and ‘touristy‘ outlook into going to places. However, my perspective shifted when the ugly truth hit me hard. If not seen on the news, I’d see for myself the alarming amount of trash particularly plastic in the ocean carried by the waves and current from the community nearby or from the tourists who intentionally left it at the shore, dead endangered sea creatures being washed ashore or found floating in the waters in the morning, closed trails…

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…

A Watermazing Summer Experience in Aqua Planet (Travel Guide + Review)
It was early in the morning but it sure felt like midday. We didn’t dare check the weather forecast for some monsoons prior to our trip as we have claimed that the sun will be up and brimming like it has always been every summer. With no decent sleep but with a hearty breakfast from my favorite fast food that set the mood for the day, we excitingly took the last P2P trip that was heading from Trinoma to Aqua Planet. Rewarded with comfort by the reclined well-cushioned seat in a fast air-conditioned bus, we drifted and surprisingly woke up at the driver’s call on the passengers who were supposed…

Towards Sustainability: Be Eco-Friendly with Style!
Since the immemorial roots of our humanity, we have been consuming the boons that the earth have bestowed on us. Without being told nor taught, this consumption came with sustainability. Hence, sustainability has long been co-existing with the world itself. However, due to the rapid growth of population of the people, the world’s resources were devoured that the efforts of a few to save it become simply not enough. It is even more alarming as the people are not just softly killing the earth by consuming lavishly its natural resources but have also invaded and trespassed into the other creatures’ abodes which should have been left untouched. The sad reality…

I spent the last day of my Cebu trip in Mactan Doctors’ Hospital!
We are currently in this age where people crave for an adventure to get away from life’s 24/7 hustle. When we log on to our social media accounts, a minute wouldn’t pass without you scrolling over a travel-related post from a friend or someone whom you follow. Their photos and videos would make you want to file a leave from your work or go on a road trip to paradise over the weekend. You can also overhear an office mate or a friend’s never ending hang over from their recent vacation. However, accidents, minor or major, come unexpectedly though not safe to say inevitable in these trips. As much as…

I hate Fantastic Chef’s Unlimited Korean Barbecue!
You read it right. I hate it. I hate that I made the right decision of taking my family to Malate to eat in here on a weekend because they are asking me to take them back. I hate that the restaurant is too far from home. I had to travel for hours only to experience their authentic Korean food. I hate that their meat tastes so good that it haunts me. I hate that its smell lingers on my shirt and my mind. I hate that it’s reasonably priced compared to other samgyupsal out there. It’s official: I have this love and hate relationship with Fantastic Chef’s unlimited Korean…

The Queen’s Escape Almost Signed Off
I am someone who never wanted to be idle. In every waking hour of my life, I see to it that I’ll be productive because I have known myself as a goal-oriented person. I fret big time when I end up doing nothing for quite some time. Knowing myself as that kind, I have resorted into engaging into various activities and job that consume too much of my body’s energy. Presently, I am a full-time teacher, a part time graduate student and a travel blogger. I deal with a lot of deadlines and I loved beating them. I am quite active in all aspects of my being. I crave for…
