This post contains spoilers. Just a heads up for those who haven't read the book or watched the movie. It's been a while since I've written about a book I've read and I figured that this book just seems fitting for this month. So, I'm now putting my carefully hidden hopeless romantic streak on full … Continue reading The Rarity That is The Time Traveler’s Wife

A Love Letter
Since it's February, let's keep up with the theme, shall we? I write a lot. And one of the things I like writing are letters. This month, I wrote a love letter that I decided to post here instead of sending by individual snail mail because I think it applies to every one, and not … Continue reading A Love Letter
I left my heart in Puraran Beach
This trip was one of those "oh, there's a seat sale, let's go" kind of trip. I have a lot of those, apparently. The difference with this one, however, is that it's the first time I'm going to Puraran. Actually, it's the first time I ever set foot on the island of Catanduanes. Catanduanes is … Continue reading I left my heart in Puraran Beach
Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy (a.k.a. the easiest book review I made. And not in a good way.)
A couple of weeks ago, I said I would write a review for the Fifty Shades Trilogy. I read it because I got curious with all the hype. No matter that reviews abound from both ends - very far ends - of the spectrum, I was determined to read through the whole thing and … Continue reading Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy (a.k.a. the easiest book review I made. And not in a good way.)
Southern (Luzon) Exposure: The Villa Escudero-Tagaytay Edition
We've planned countless trips but none pushed through. So, it was a bit of a surprise to me that this one did. It almost didn't, by the way, since the weekend we planned on going was the weekend after the heavy flooding of the metro. Realizing that we do better with impromptu trips, we decided … Continue reading Southern (Luzon) Exposure: The Villa Escudero-Tagaytay Edition
The Rainbow’s End
A couple of months ago, I was involved in making sure that my sister's pre-nup photo shoot run smoothly. It did, and while they were busy, I was able to go around and snap a couple of pictures. We were at Bonifacio Global City, one of those areas in Metro Manila that's losing most of … Continue reading The Rainbow’s End
Binondo Culinary Jaunt with the Crazy People 2013
A couple of months ago, I convinced my family to come with me on a food tour in the oldest Chinatown in the world. Binondo was established in 1594, on the other side of the Pasig River across from Intramuros, as permanent settlement for Chinese immigrants who converted to Catholocism. They, and others who are … Continue reading Binondo Culinary Jaunt with the Crazy People 2013
San Narciso Beach, Zambales
I was supposed to be a part of a 25-people trip to Cagbalete Island in Quezon last weekend but due to some unforseen circumstances, the entire trip was cancelled two days before we were supposed to go. Boo. So, what's a girl with itchy feet and a strong desire to go to the beach going … Continue reading San Narciso Beach, Zambales
27 Lessons
I decided to do away with my usual birthday gratitude post this year. It's not because I don't have anything to be grateful for. On the contrary, I am grateful for every single day of this year, even the most difficult ones. It's just that I want to share 27 nuggets of wisdom. These were … Continue reading 27 Lessons
Good Friday in Intramuros
I have mentioned before (like, so many times already) that my favorite place in Manila is Intramuros. I could, and have, gladly spend a day there just exploring or hanging out. I also previously wrote a blog about a DIY Intramuros Tour that I did a couple of months back. I mentioned that Intramuros on … Continue reading Good Friday in Intramuros
