It is hard to stay focused on eating healthier and staying fit if you have friends who love good food and enjoy random food trip as much as you do. I thought of going straight home after the #AldenBirthdayBuild (because I felt disabled, I forgot my wallet at home!) but it was #MotherEarth’s birthday and […]
I mentioned about being lazy during the holiday season, and the lazy bug’s bite is stinging like crazy this week. Until one day it just hit me, I want to do something else. Thankfully, I have my Habitat for Humanity Philippines’ family to give me that push to wake up earlier than usual and start […]

The truth is, I am not an ice cream person. I do not buy ice cream whenever I am out in a theme park (like most people do). I prefer a slice of cake over ice cream for dessert. I do not get excited at the sight of ice cream. I do eat ice cream […]
I always get paranoid whenever I sleep in a hotel room – the horror of oversleeping – missing the flight, missing the tour, or missing the check out time! Although it never happened to me yet, I always play safe and request for a wake-up call. Have you checked Part 1 of my Staycation story? […]
I want to think I am a simple person with such simple joys. Believe it or not, I consider sleeping 8 hours at night a luxury. I may have wished for a travel or trip outside the country (but the truth is, I don’t usually sleep well whenever I am out of the country – […]
