Ohana Means Family
A few days before New Year’s Eve, my cousins and I were just so bored out of our wits that we decided on a whim to go to the beach! This would be great, too, because my nephew, Brody, has never been to the beach. He loves playing with my sand decor (yes, I designed…

What if the World Really Came to an End on Dec 21, 2012?
I actually believe that the world won’t end on Friday but the idea is so massively entertaining and mind blowing that it is hard not to bring it up every now and then. A question I usually ask in conversation is, “What time will the end of the world commence? Since, y’know, countries have diff time…

Singapore Shuffling 2
The next day was started with a big lunch at Ramen & Bento. A legit-looking Japanese place near our hotel. I’d say it was quite pricey for non-authentic tasting food. We made our way to Gardens By The Bay and knew instantly that we would be doing a LOT of walking. My cousin and I…

Singapore Shuffling 1
When I found out that my cousin’s going home from Canada and would make a stop over in Singapore, I thought that this was the chance I’ve been waiting for! I have always wanted to go to Singapore or Hong Kong.. because.. I don’t know. I just wanna. Besides, she’s booking a hotel room for…

Annawangin Cove Days
I can’t count how many beach trips my friends and I have been on. Of all the trips though, Annawangin has etched its special spot on our hearts. I could say this has been the most memorable spot we have been to in all those years. I’m sure almost everyone by now has been there…

Song On Repeat #28: Harvest Moon
I don’t know why but I’ve been listening to Neil Young’s Harvest Moon for quite some time now. That along with a lot of Carly Simon, Carole King, John Lennon, and Dionne Warwick. Why am I so into oldie songs for the past 2 weeks? Here’s the music video for Harvest Moon. It sounds very…

Birthday Beach Bombing 3 Islands in Quezon Province: 2 – Puting Buhangin & 3 – Borawan
It took us less than an hour to get to the next island. Puting Buhangin, true to its name, had white sand! Puting Buhangin was smaller than Dampalitan but it was more scenic. Also, there were more campers there. There were like 10-ish tents pitched. I figured that must be due to, again, the place…

Birthday Beach Bombing 3 Islands in Quezon Province: 1 – Dampalitan Island
This post, I realized, will be super long that I could easily make it a short story since I like going into details about stuff. The solution: write about it in 3 parts. So, here’s part 1! I’ll keep it short and suhweet! 🙂 It was past 12 when I got home from our office…

Something New #97: Hair (The Weekend That Never Stopped)
1. I figured it’ll be a while ’til I finish my post about our recent Island trip, so I will make a quick post about what I ended up doing this weekend. As you can see, I had my hair (bangs) cut! I’ve been meaning to this for a while and I…

12 Hours on a Bus, 12 Hours in La Union
For so many times, my brother and I have planned an adventure trip to wherever now that he’s in college/considerable legal age. I even promised him a surf trip on his birthday but sorely disappointed him as I had to go to Cebu on the same date. Anyway, one weekend, we were bored at home and…
