Taiwan has become a very popular tourist destination for Filipinos ever since visa restrictions were lifted. According to figures from the Taiwan tourism bureau, the number of visitors from the Philippines grew by a whopping 44% in 2018, the highest growth among Southeast Asian countries. This is highly understandable since Taiwan is our friendly neighbor, being only two hours away by plane. But when you do manage to visit, it's important to know that there's more to the capital city of Taipei than eating Din Tai Fung dumplings, visiting the night markets, climbing ...

Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden in Pattaya, Thailand
We had a nice family vacation in Pattaya, Thailand the first time but we didn't really get to see the town since we stayed the whole time in the sprawling Royal Cliff Beach Hotel which was quite far from the rest of civilization. I visited Pattaya again to say hello to 2017 and was finally able to feel the lively pulse of the place. Absolutely loved the cheap eats, the accessible transport and the beaches very near the hotel where one can commune with the rest of the sunbathing tourists. But perhaps the highlight was the day trip to Nong Nooch Botanical ... Continue Reading...
Day tour to the heritage town of Taal, Batangas

Our first stop was the town's famous landmark, the Basilica of St. Martin of Tours, more popularly known as the Taal Cathedral. A fine example of Baroque ... Continue Reading...
Five things to check out in Yangon, Myanmar
Last October, I was supposed to go to the Zumba fest in Bali like we did last year but went against it after realizing last-minute air fares weren't so friendly. So I decided to go on a random trip instead to Yangon, Myanmar. Why Yangon? Because I haven't been there and it's always been my aim to visit at least one new foreign city or foreign country each year. With Myanmar off the list, Laos and Brunei are the remaining places in Southeast Asia I have to see now. But I digress. Going to Yangon is now made easier with several flights to the city. The easiest ... Continue Reading...
The best goodbyes at Centennial Garden in Santa Rosa, Laguna
A few days ago, our band of bloggers was out of town again but this time it was different. It was a trip to discover our own mortality and how we should prepare for the reality of dying someday. Morbid, you say? The serene surroundings of the sprawling Centennial Garden in Sta. Rosa, Laguna provided the perfect backdrop for thinking about the afterlife that day. Inasmuch as we try to enjoy life while as much as we can, we should also endeavor to leave behind our earthly existence in the best way possible.And this was it.... Centennial Garden is poised to ...
