    #ProjectTutongSaRomblon: fun and awareness at Looc Fish Sanctuary, Tablas (Day 3 of 3)

    Marine sanctuaries are indeed interesting. As I started to become an “island girl” (oh, missing the mountains already! Praying to gain back my strength, stamina, courage and whatever I need to go back hiking!), I learned (and learning) a lot about marine life. One favorite are coral reefs. I understand how hard it is to maintain these kinds of rehabs and sanctuaries, but I guess the government or private owners should stop their operations first if they see challenges in their facilities already. I mean, what is a million profits if that can provide only a couple of years of food for the family because the marine life you were…

    Twin Rock Beach Resort Virac, Catanduanes

    I’m more than proud that tourism in Catanduanes is slowly booming. I didn’t grow up there, I didn’t live there long enough to say I am from there, but I super love the place. Catanduanes is really very homey not because my parents were from there, but because it feels homey. However, as happy as I could be, I also am worried. You know what happens to an island when discovered and visited by irresponsible guests. Twin Rock Beach Resort is probably the most well-known resort in Catanduanes that if you are a tourist, it’s impossible no one would recommend it. The resort was beautiful, hence the fame. Unfortunately, we…

    How I take care of my sun-burnt skin

    Contents last updated on June 2020. HAPPY END-OF-SUMMER! Yeah, I’m kidding. Is it just me who thinks there was just a whole year of summer in Manila? I am aware of all the floods and hurricanes and even hail storm from around the country, but Manila, really? Guess we have to take a pause and think of one little way to at least lessen the “heat”, and how to treat our sunburns, huh? Going out for a summer trip is one thing. Taking care of your sun-burnt skin is another. These days, I don’t really care that much about how I look. I don’t focus on getting back to the fairness…

    Malingap Central Food Hall: for the love of good food and good pictures!

    If there’s something common among all Pinoys is that we all love food trips. That’s maybe one reason why food halls and food parks had a sudden boom in the industry. Talk a walk, for example, in Manila and you will spot more than three food hubs in the area. Maybe more than five! I’ve been to many food parks and hubs in the metro. And those experiences helped me set standards to which ones are worth visiting and spending time at with friends and family and even alone – since I am slowly crawling my way back to being an introvert. Lol. People are becoming adventurous when it comes…

    My newest fave: Cafe Janealo in Intramuros

    Intramuros is one of my favorite places in Manila because of it’s vintagey look, as if I never get tired of walking and taking pictures around it. My problem was, though there are numbers of restaurants inside Intra, and most of them are quite expensive. Though I am a foodie, I don’t commit myself to spending too much just for the sake of reviewing them especially I don’t get anything from blogging yet. Walang balik, kumbaga. So you know my reviews are purely based from honesty and not just because I am paid. (Don’t worry guys, if they pay me I’ll still be honest lol.) The last time I visited…
