A book is a gift you can open again and again. — Garrison Keillor

I remember my constraints while I was growing up but I knew that I love reading and books since I was a child. I started with reading my mother's old copies of Reader's Digest and Health & Home. And finding myself at the school's library browsing the books, magazines, etc. and reading what caught my …

BATANGAS │ Verde Island

Still on a high from exploring Fortune Island in Nasugbu, I was so excited to see Isla Verde in Batangas City - the second island I get to visit in a week's time! The trip was part of our Company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. And such was to support the PNP Batangas Regional Office through …

BATANGAS │ Fortune Island: The Greek-Inspired Escape in Nasugbu

When my Ate Carina called me to ask if I'm available to join her and her BFF, Wynn (among her son and friends) on a day tour at Fortune Island, I was hesitant to answer right away. I've known about this island located approximately 14 kms off the coast of Brgy. Bucana in the town of Nasugbu …

eye care

During the time when I'm under medication for an infectious bacterial fever, I had red eyes (not sore eyes, though) which were very sensitive to light. I wasn't able to have them checked due to my condition. Man, it was so frustrating. Since I have the fever, I was very weak then, with no appetite and …

BATANGAS │ Bo’s Coffee: Homegrown Brew

It was such a welcome treat to finally have this kind of coffee shop in our town. Since it opened, I only got to dine here twice with my childhood friends/barkada. Bo's Coffee at The Plaza at Bauan is such a place to hang out. I love its location considering it's only a few minutes …

CAMBODIA │Siem Reap: Lotus Blanc Resort

I've known about Lotus Blanc Resort long before my childhood friend Sandra and I planned our Cambodia trip. There's this blogger whose site I always frequent and she blogged about it- good reviews I must say so it isn't too hard for me to choose this as another option. This hotel was our chosen second home during our …
