When it comes to staycation places, I personally like being within the comforts of the familiar. Preferably somewhere near, with a supermarket close by (because I don't know what to do if we suddenly ran out of.. snacks), and in a city we know like the back of our hands. Seda ...
Club Balai Isabel Weekend with the Whole Family
This Club Balai Isabel review is based on our experience in April 2019. It was a last minute trip, just like Baguio. Two days before Holy Week, we still didn't have anything planned. In retrospect, we didn't really mind just being within Metro Manila because have you ...
When in Baguio with Kids for 36 Hours
Sometimes, you just have to go for it. Even when the idea crossed your mind just 24 hours ago and you didn't have a clear plan or Baguio itinerary. In fact (as we all have proven time and time again), the trips that usually push through are the ones we didn't overthink. This ...
Our First Airbnb Tagaytay Experience
I’m a late bloomer when it comes to AirBnb. It was 2016 when I downloaded the app out of curiousity, but it wasn’t until 2017 when I started actually using it. I’ve read articles about how using AirBnb isn’t fun anymore, and how the whole concept of apartment-sharing has lost ...
Cocoon Boutique Hotel for our 4th Year Anniversary
This post might contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure here. Our fourth wedding anniversary celebration was our first night away from the girls since they were born. Now that I think about it, I don't know why we waited this long! It's not like the girls wouldn't let us ...
Sofitel Manila Staycation with Kids
This post may have affiliate links. Read my full disclosure here. We couldn't have booked a staycation at a worse time. The weather was horrible, a typhoon just entered the country, classes were suspended, and many parts of the metro were flooded. We got ourselves booked at ...
The Paradise that is Ephrathah Farms
Summer has long been over but we still keep looking back and reminiscing our time at Ephrathah Farms. Located in the quiet town of Badiangan, Iloilo, the farm has been there for a while, growing organic produce that are sold at SM Iloilo Supermarket. With hectares of land and ...
Unusual Monday Morning
There was this moment, waking up in a room at Tune Hotel on Monday morning, that was strangely familiar. It happens every time we're in an unfamiliar place, and I look around to see my little family, and I suddenly have this overwhelming rush of emotions, and I know right then ...
There’s No Easy Way to Say Goodbye
Normally, when you keep doing something over and over again, you get better at it. It's the reason why musicians practice all the time, and athletes go through regular trainings. Repetition does wonders in honing a skill. Sadly, saying goodbye doesn't work that way. No ...
Canyon Woods Batangas Baby Moon
From our anniversary weekend. Here's more, just because we have tons of them. :) The resort was huge, and we had it all to ourselves! Because the place was so huge (Have I said that yet? Oh yeah.), we had to take a shuttle to go around from our cabin to the clubhouse ...
The Search is On for Tagaytay Wedding Venues
That 500 Days of Summer song felt like last Saturday's soundtrack! Saturday, May 5, 2012. A few friends and I went on a road trip to Tagaytay to scout for a wedding venue. It started out as a top-secret mission, LOL, but since word has been out ...
A Day at The Malayan Plaza Hotel
Going out of town is one of my frustrations lately. Traveling is something I've always wanted to do with my husband, but we haven't done so much travelling since Boracay. I thought having a permanent travel buddy would give me more courage to explore and go places, but our ...
