    10 beautiful Airbnbs near Manila to book for your year-end and other celebrations

    The past year I only traveled with groups – friends, co-workers, family – and to be honest, except from food and transpo, another thing that takes more money away is the accommodation cost. Hotels are very nice, and could be the best option sometimes, but let’s face it – we cannot always afford hotel rooms good for 4-15 pax every time we go out of town. One time, my friends and I were looking for a place to stay for a small get together. The problem was hotel rooms usually occupies only 2 persons and you have to pay for additional heads if you’re more than 2. Family rooms are…

    Weekend chill at Batis ng Kalikasan, Sta. Maria, Laguna

    Finally, an overnight trip since the start of pandemic and community quarantine! Okay, I’m not proud. I was not even thinking of sharing this because it’s easier to lay low on social media and the internet than explain how much careful you were on your trip. But I gotta update the blog, hoomans, so I am grateful for the safe weekend getaway we had. But seriously, do not travel yet if it’s not essential. Travel bans are slowly lifted, but it doesn’t mean we actually have to go outside. Anyway, I’ve also tried editing some video clips I’ve taken during the trip (yeah, I wasn’t thinking of sharing this online…

    Working remotely at Kaff Cafe, Solenad (+free lightroom preset!)

    When we’re (and by “we”, I mean “I”)  looking for a cafe to stay at for a few hours just to work on a report or an article or join a virtual meeting, we normally go to big brands like Starbucks, Tim Hortons, or CBTL because ~aesthetic~. Like just last week, when needed to work at a coffee shop but it’s “planner season” so most of the famous cafes are already full. Thankfully I found Kaff Cafe to save me from being late for an online team meeting. As you know, blogging is not my full time job. I am an auditor (and a single mom of one!) as well.…
