Staying NEAR Hong Kong Disneyland is one cost-friendly option that tourists can consider when visiting the theme park. That's right. You don't have to stay in Disneyland because the room only package was quite pricey the last time I looked. We have also stayed in Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel years back and it was time to consider a new experience. My internet surfing led me to the website of Regal Airport Hotel and I was glad to stumble upon their Disneyland room package which I thought was good value. For as low as HKD$2288 for a superior room, the package already ... Continue Reading...
Olango Island: a good day trip from Mactan, Cebu
A visit to Olango Island makes a good alternative if you're tired of the usual beach-hopping around Mactan and beyond.In fact, you can make this trip for a little under 500 pesos per person.Olango is quite known for being a bird watcher's paradise and for their marine sanctuary. The birds already left when we arrived close to noon but my daughter and I enjoyed our mini-trip just the same. I would call the Olango trip as my first real adventure with my 5 year old daughter Lucia. We rode three means of transport: tricycle, motorcycle and outrigger boat. In return, she ...

Whale shark watching in Oslob … a surreal experience!
The long APEC holiday found me in the province of Cebu to avoid Manila's traffic, road closures and no-fly zones.I am not really excited about Cebu City since it reminds me so much of MNL with its malls and rush hour gridlocks. My game plan for this trip was to head to the islands and see the beach. Am so glad I did that...and so much more! 'More' in this case meant the part where I went swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. Most people who have been there say it's a surreal experience. I wholeheartedly agree!!! The dictionary defines surreal as seemingly ... Continue Reading...
Jamie’s Italian Restaurant in Kuta Beach, Bali
.... and so it came to pass that I spent my birthday having lunch with Emilie's daughter, Patricia, in Jamie's Italian Restaurant fronting Kuta Beach in Bali. It was just an ordinary day for me, I try not to be sentimental about it. There's no denying and whining about the fact that I have AGED (like fine wine, mind you, and not stinky like blue cheese! lol). But since birthdays are mandated to be special, I spent it at Jamie's Italian which was my favorite resto for the trip (not having explored much...). I've always liked Jamie Oliver's recipes posted in ... Continue Reading...
First time in Bali for the Fitness Weekend 2015!
I sorely needed an excuse to go to the island-paradise of Bali. For starters, I haven't been to Indonesia...and Bali is the place to be, for sure! So when my friend Emilie, a licensed Zumba instructor, invited me to join her for the Bali Fitness Weekend, I said 'go!' without hesitation. Holiday plus a fitness weekend where all you do is exercise wasn't such a bad idea. In fact, it's like hitting two birds with one stone! :) A little background: I really enjoyed going to Zumba classes this year. As I've found out in indoor cycling, working out with a group is the ... Continue Reading...
