El Mundo Cafe: a new place for your “me time”
Imagine your life as a big, colorful mosaic and “me time” is the dazzling little gem that brings it all together. It’s that little window when you hot pause from life’s demands, you dive into your favorite book (or just some random read), binge that series guilt-free, or simply savor a quit cup of coffee (or in my case, with a plate or two of yummy meals). And sometimes, the literal place you go matters. Again, in my case, I like staying in a hotel. This time, I tried the U Hotel in Makati and I really enjoyed their El Mundo Cafe. Since I started vlogging, I take more videos…

Good food and good memories at Cafe Janealo, Intramuros
In 2018, we discovered this cafe just beside the Manila Cathedral. We got together there with my family and closest friends to celebrate over lunch Mnemo’s baptism. It’s called Cafe Janealo. And I visited there twice more after the baptism lunch, but since the pandemic lockdown, I think it’s just now that we got to eat there again. We planned to have a picnic in Fort Santiago, but the rain came killing the joy. So we hopped restos instead. A little bit. We had our coffee at Papa Kape inside the Fort Santiago, and for dinner, we checked out the new Cafe Janealo which felt nostalgic lol kala mo katagal…

Coffee and chill at Papa Kape, Fort Santiago, Manila
The City of Manila is one of our go-to places and if my family and I feel like picnic-ing, we go to the famous Intramuros. It was a very sunny day in Pasay and we thought let’s go have a picnic and enjoy the sunny/windy feels in Manila. Twelve kilometers after, the rain came and we never had the chance to sit on the grass and enjoy a cup of coffee or whatever. Good thing is, as we walked along Fort Santiago we saw this new coffee shop which apparently just opened first quarter of this year. The ground was still wet, but at least we found a home at…

Miagao food trip at Balay Namm’ Seafood & Grill
One of the things that make me feel happier this year is that I am now able to travel ~again~ outside Manila after, what, two, three years. So when I and my work friends finally booked an out-of-Luzon trip, I was suuupppeeeer excited. And of course, the more food we try, the more we feel happy. Good thing the first meal we had in Iloilo was very, very good, it satisfied my tummy right away. So yep, if you visit Iloilo make sure to try Balay Namm’ Seafood and Grill in Miagao. Balay Namm’ Seafood and Grill is a popular restaurant located in Miagao, known for its seafood and grilled…

Palpitate Coffee, Taytay, Rizal
So we went to Taytay tiangge to get some summer dresses for myself and my kid. It was a sunny, not-so-crowded day but I really felt ~incomplete~ when I can’t get my coffee. Lol. There was a small coffee shop within the area, but they didn’t have vacant seats when we got there so we looked for other options online. Then tada! We discovered a branch of Palpitate Coffee 6k away. <3 Palpitate Coffee is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts or, we can say, also for people who are looking for “aesthetic”, Instragrammable coffee shops near the metro. I’ve been seeing this throughout social media since forevs, and it’s just…
