It's a shame that I've travelled out of the country these past few months MORE than visiting the islands. Beach bumming is one thing I truly miss, and I don't want to be in Phuket or Bali for that because the Philippines has some of the world's most beautiful beaches! My envy meter has escalated because my media friend Jingjing sent me these photos of her recent vacation in Henann Resort, the latest luxury resort to open in the booming island of Bohol. Henann is formerly the Alona Palm Beach Resort which has now been acquired by the Boracay Regency Group of ... Continue Reading...
Ed Westwick in Manila: only 3 fans make it to meet & greet
Because he's mainly in Manila for a photoshoot, only three fans were chosen for an intimate meet and greet with Ed Westwick a.k.a. Chuck Bass scheduled at an undisclosed place today. This was something that broke the hearts of legions of fans of the Gossip Girl male star in the city. One even said she will trade her husband for the "HOT" English actor and musician. LOL. But local brand Penshoppe (where Westwick is an endorser) and PR Asia Worldwide, the event's publicist, promised that they're working on a bigger event that will possibly consist of an Ed Westwick ...

Ed Westwick in Manila till Friday
Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl is confirmed to be in Manila and will stay here till Friday. It's definitely a YAY! to all the girls waiting to see him here. But it's not clear if he will meet the press or do other public engagements as his purpose for being in town appears to be doing a shoot for local clothing brand Penshoppe. The Manila Peninsula will be his homebase while in town. A picture of Ed Westwick (a.k.a. Chuck Bass) amid a huge BDO signage was taken by a local fan and posted in her Tumblr account. Thereupon, she described him as a really nice guy and ... Continue Reading...
Australian tourist visa application & requirements
I almost gave up on travelling to Australia. That's because I got all my documents ready less than a week before my scheduled date of travel. In its website, the Australian Embassy in Manila says processing time for tourist visas is five to seven working days (emphasis on working). I thought to myself " how can I possibly do this?" But my sponsor encouraged me to just try. And so I did! :D Let me say I had a very good experience dealing with the Australian Embassy (as opposed to the US Embassy Manila where horror stories abound). I did not meet anybody from the ...

Emirates (EK) flight, Singapore to Brisbane… and back!
This is a rather belated post on my experience flying Emirates (EK) from Singapore to Brisbane (and vice versa) early this month. Am writing about this because I have never flown this airline before. And being the anxious traveller, I've never really travelled long-haul since going to Germany in 2002. It goes without saying that am not the type who sleeps throughout, so long flights are like purgatory to me :D It didn't help any that this Emirates flight was turbulent for 80% of the time that it took us to travel to Brisbane (or more than seven hours of flying) The ...
