Macau Trip and Other Blessings
I'm undeniably busy and blessed the past few weeks. Pretty obvious, I guess, because have not been blogging for a while. But I'm taking a few minutes off to catch up with blogging.So again I'm busy and blessed with these:1. Writing. I'm suddenly swam...
Road Trip to Vigan City
I pictured it early on. Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Same old beach scenes in my picturesque dreams: Flat on my chest upon white or brown sandy, virgin beach waters of the old North, flaunting my fair skin for a desired summer, golden tan...
Budapest Travel - Beyond Your Wildest Imagination
So I was speaking the other day with one of the most traveled friends I know of, regarding my plans of a solo travel, when she told me about the recent Budapest Travel she took. She told me how surprisingly beautiful Budapest is, because never in...
Cast a Vote for Palawan’s Best
Nature is in itself magic, which is why I dream of Palawan. I dream of the ethereal Palawan, and I imagine myself spread on that fine, white sand, listening to the splatter of ocean waves against the shorelines like music to the soul. As m...

All Trips Lead to Home (Part 3 of 3 Parts)
What was the only thing I found good about staying in a 21st floor of a condominium building was the chance to look at the world, with its two sides of the coin. Besides, living that high, even for short period of a week, made you feel that you were ...
All Trips Lead to Home (Part 2 of 3 Parts)
So where were we? Ah, the RSM Restaurant. As I have said, RSM looks more like a small resort and park than a restaurant. The nipa huts you can see in the picture are for family or group dining, if you prefer a more private spot. Delectable Food + Rel...

The most active and the longest-running bloggers always have a prayer, a post, or a routine before a year begins or ends; I missed mine (though I am not any of the two). That is because Tarko and I were on a trip to Manila, right after Christmas Day,...
Smells Like Teen Freedom
I owe her my freedom. I had this thought in mind when I left Manila for home yesterday. The opportunity I had been waiting for sometime now, for me to be able to move in to Manila with Tarko, finally came from her. She has plans and projects waitin...
Un-Whispering Christmas List
You only whisper birthday wishes, as you blow those little colored candles on top of your cake. When it is Christmas time, wishes should be said out loud, with the hope that two or more of my 425 readers (as of this time of writing) might make my wis...
