First, let me start this post with an apology. I know you have landed to this page to get an idea on how to plan your itinerary. Our trip was not very well planned, so we were only able to see and visit the most famous spots in Ilocos. But before you leave this page, […]
If there is one thing I’ve learned from our trip in Ilocos – it is – plan your trip well. We were so busy with our work and I got surprised one weekend that it was already time to fly on Monday night. I was not able to do the itinerary (like what I always […]
I honestly believe that the best food are found not in fancy restaurants but in narrow streets and unknown stalls in the Metro like Binondo and Maginhawa Street in UP. I guess the same is true when it comes to bread and pastries. I always pass Dapitan Street whenever I go home from work, and […]
Summer is the perfect time to hit the beach, but for those who want a different adventure, and just simply not too comfy to wear a bikini or is afraid of tsunamis – it’s time to pack your stuff and head to Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Sharing with you some places we have visited in Vigan. […]

My friend invited me for lunch to the newest Chinese (or is it Taiwanese? – Google has yet to let me know) Restaurant in Town – Shi Lin. This restaurant may be the reason he suggested to meet up in Podium. I am not very enthusiastic about food lately because I am preparing myself for […]
Weekend at Subic and Fun Thrilling Experience at the Tree Top Adventure
January 18, 2011Last weekend we headed to Subic to hit the beach and just to say that we had a trip for the month of January. We chose Subic because, first I have never been to Subic, second, we prefer to travel by land, and third, we wanted a budget trip this time (less airfare, and less […]
Chocolate Fire has been making a buzz with its very sexy and yummy promotional pics. We have to check out the place and get burned with lots of chocolates and sweets. Chocolate Fire is located at the corner of Leviste and Rufino Streets in Makati. I would advise that you bring your car or take […]

January 12, 2011Updated April 7, 2013: Airlines have treated us with lots of airfare promos; malls and warehouses have blocked our calendars with open houses and sales; brands from shampoos, to lotion and condoms have given us tons of samples of their products.
