Sundowners Vacation Villas: one of the coolest Santorini-inspired vacation villas in PH!
I’ve been seeing numbers of resorts and vacation houses inspired and actually feels like Santorini in Greece – white and clean, blue and relaxing, infinity pools overlooking the oceans, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A perfect vacay for the family, friends or to be honest, an ideal get-away for solo travelers as well. One of these beautiful vacay houses is the Sundowners Vacation Villas in Bolinao. On this article, I’m sharing my first experience in Sundowners and why and how I fell in love with the place. It may look and sound luxurious and expensive, but really, all the spends are worth it.

What it’s like attending a film photography workshop for the first time + scanned shots from my first film roll
I was one of the lucky bloggers who were invited to attend an “Intro to Film Photography” workshop in Manila and I was sooooo thrilled! Though I am familiar with the classic point-and-shoot film cams from before, I never really used it first-hand. So all thanks to Vintage Camera Market for preserving this practice and sharing knowledge and fun to young people like me! (Okay, chill. I’m still young.) Page contents: 1.
