Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun and the Surprise Proposal

Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun and the Surprise Proposal

I’m a sucker for romantic endings, weddings, red roses and more so for a real life fairy tale ending. And Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun seemed a good enough place for a marriage proposal.<3 Better known to foreign tourists as White Temple, it is actually […]

The Classics, Him and Moon River

The Classics, Him and Moon River

I find watching films, may it be old or new, enthralling. I can compare it to reading a book but watching movies for me has a different charm altogether. When watching Filipino films, I often prefer the older ones. The older the better. I think. […]

Meeting Brunei’s Royal Family: An Event to Remember

Meeting Brunei’s Royal Family: An Event to Remember

When my good friend Claire and I were planning our first travel together, we initially considered going to Taiwan. But learning that she might have future plans to go there with her boyfriend Rem, I told her we can consider another country. I suggested the […]

Why I Will Never Undo Three Days In ElYu

Why I Will Never Undo Three Days In ElYu

Summer came early when me and my friends traveled north in the now-not-so-sleepy town of San Juan in the province of La Union. Some of them were my long time friends, some were acquaintances while a few of them I met for the very first […]

2016

2016

I was at an intersection of my traveling life the past year. Other personal obligations put a limit to my traveling horizon. But I was still able to explore new places nonetheless. Indeed, God will always have something for you even if you began doubting […]

Endless Lazing at Isla de Boracay

Endless Lazing at Isla de Boracay

I think I haven’t missed visiting Boracay, sans one year, since 2008. I don’t know why I keep on going back. I know there are better beaches hidden all over the Philippines but I guess White Beach’s allure is the answer or some Boracay mystery […]

Miss Universe 2016

Miss Universe 2016

I was still a very young lady when the last Miss Universe pageant was held here in the Philippines. I had no means to see the contestants live back then. But I fondly remember the sari-sari stores in our area were selling pictures and paper […]

He Fell In Love

He Fell In Love

And Sky kissed Sea Princess just as before the sun disappeared over the horizon. At the time when different shades of warm orange blast in all directions. Her wavy hair caught some of the dancing lights. Trapped in their crystal like cage, attempting to escape […]
