    The things I miss from La Creperie!

    The last time I’ve been to Tagaytay was a month before the ECQ in Manila started. What I like most about Tagaytay are these unique restaurants that offer not only good food but great nature views. That’s why Tagaytay is my go-to place whenever I need a break. Thanks to the cold weather and super yummy hot chocolate from everywhere. So when we were on lockdown, I really missed La Creperie – one of my most loved cafes in Tagaytay. Just a week ago, I learned they have new branches in Manila and that really excite me! I knew they are in other places aside Tagaytay, but I just really…

    Kid at heart: my Puzzle Mansion Museum experience

    Tagaytay is one of the go-to places for most people from Manila as it’s just a couple of hour-drive away from the city. Actually, people go there any day of the year – be it summer or even in rainy season. And it's not just for the people who wants to de-stress, it's also perfect for families and friends to go to. One nice place is the Puzzle Mansion Museum. If you are a fan of Jigsaw puzzles, I'm sure you'll love this place!

    I know you deserve this, so here are 7 royal ways to reward yourself, King and Queen of Twin Lakes!

    Full week of non-stop work, huh? Bet ‘ya yearning for a nice and comfy and restful weekend. Yep, I feel you. And I also feel you don’t want to go far from the city else you may not want to come back anymore. Haha! Same here~ Well, I know a perfect place somewhere in Tagaytay. Hello, Twin Lakes Hotel! Tagaytay has been the go-to “bakasyunan” of the people in Manila for decades now, and no matter how heavy the traffic is there, we just don’t care. All people want is to stay away from the giant buildings for once and escape the heat and not-so-fresh air we’re experiencing the whole…

    5 things I loved about the eerie castle in Lemery, Batangas

    Imagine yourself dressed as a prince and you’re roaming around your very own castle surrounded by mighty knights. As you walk to your maze-like garden, you see beautiful flowers and magical creatures along the way, greeting you good morning. And as the clear and peaceful sky welcomes another magical day of life, you stumbled upon a cute little winged dragon excited to give you a ride to explore your kingdom. Except your home is an abandoned castle on top of the mountains, where all the eerie stories we hear came from. I won’t bore you with the stories of what happened to Fantasy World or who owns it or even…

    Paradizoo: a fun and informative weekend trip

    As a kid, my favorite tourist attraction to visit (except from food factories, lol) are animal theme parks or zoos. And honestly, since we’re going to more advanced tech age already, I’m a little bit sad about the thought of our kids now losing interest with nature. I mean, do they even know how to feed farm animals, or plant trees will they have the chance to at least witness how beautiful these living things are in real life or will they just stare at their iPads and maybe make silly imitations of animal sound, I don’t know.
