Living in the Moment


Yup! I just underwent LASIK procedure last September 15 at Shinagawa and I still couldn't believe what my eyes see! I still sometimes feel like I am just wearing contact lens (because you know, dry eyes) and sometimes my subconscious tells me to fix to my glasses only to find out that I am actually not wearing one! How's that!

Crosswinds Swiss Luxury Resort
If you want a truly calm and home away from home type of staycation then Crosswinds in Tagaytay is the place to be. The place is tucked in a very quiet neighborhood making it a very peaceful place to unwind and de-stress. You know, the kind that makes it hard to get out of bed and just lets you be in your own kind of bliss.

The Solo Travel That Almost Didn't Push Through

Me: Malayo ba dito yung Sta. Monica church? Yung may malaking bell? (Is Sta. Monica church far from here? The one with the big bell?)

Tricycle driver: Malayo din ma'am, sa Panay na po yun. (It's far, it's already in Panay.)

2016 is like a roller coaster ride, I know I know, it sounds cliche, but I couldn't describe it in any other way. This year is like a ticking time bomb because it felt like I need to live a fast paced life. It's not a negative thing though, it's just that a lot has happened that if I won't keep up, it felt like I will be left behind. It trained me to always be on the go. Well, if you do know me personally, this 2016, I am the person who can't be at home even just for a day. Even on my rest days, I am out and about. And it's actually fun because I've experienced a lot of first times and a lot of happy adventures. I met a lot of people, I ate my heart out, and somehow, I've managed to take care of my career. I cannot list all the things I am thankful for this 2016 because it would be a long boring post already.. rather, I just want to run through all the stuff that made my 2016 extra special. :) So here you go..

What the World Would Be Like If Social Media Didn't Exist

So I was just scrolling through my feed like always. Then I remembered my childhood where there were barely smartphones. Facebook isn't a thing yet and it feels like the world is such a wonderful place to live in. I remember talking to my grade school best friend over the phone while watching Naruto.. and  maybe if it did happen today, we will just be chatting over messenger or some other chatting apps. What if we have the internet but there's really no Facebook or Friendster to begin with? Will it have a big impact on how we live our lives now?

6 Good Reasons to Finally Get Your Own Credit Card

Okay, for starters, I really don't want to get my own credit card because let's face it, it's basically creating a debt when you can (or cannot) already pay in cash. We have this mindset that having a credit card means the owner is well off and too rich to have cash on hand. Sometimes we even think that having credit card means no control over your shopping splurge. But all these stuff that I mentioned are all before I was managing my own finances. I have learned that it's all in your discretion.

Being an introvert person, I sometimes wonder if it would have any difference if I were an extrovert. Sure, it's a known fact that I'm an introvert and that I am shy. But it is sometimes ironic how I express myself to other people because they say I am very frank with what I want to say. I guess being an introvert and being shy is not synonymous. Will I have many friends if I were an extrovert? I often wonder if it would have affected my blogging if I liked spending more time with people. How does it feel if you have many friends as you have no problems hanging out with different people?

Sunnies Specs

Growing up as someone with poor eyesight, it was really hard to sometimes do things because we're bound to wear eyeglasses all time. But I have a confession to make, when I was younger and my vision was still 20-20, I wished that my eyes will become blurry so I can wear eyeglasses. But boy, if I had known back then how hard it is, I wouldn't wish for this. I forgot the fact that I can still wear eyeglasses without me having to suffer for poor eyesight.

How to save and travel at the same time

I've heard it. Most people would stereotype people who travel often as rich, maraming pera, walang ipon, walang responsibilidad, and the like. But why is that? I would even hear them say, "Kung san san nakakapunta yun no? Daming pera." Bet they don't even know what they're saying. I'm not sure if I'm the right person to say this because I'm not the type who already has traveled the world. I'm not even close to 1/8 of the places I've had yet to visit. But hey, what's certain is the first half of 2016, I've managed to travel at least twice every month. Most of it domestic but to travel is to travel. Whether by land or by air. I'm making this post not just to tell people that, "HEY! You can travel too!", but also to share how I manage to travel that often during the first half of the year. I'm pretty sure everyone I know wants to travel. Because what else can we do in this world and what else can we accomplish in our lives if we're just bound to live it in one place? Some wants to travel but has strict parents.. hmm.. this one, I don't know the answer because fortunately I have awesome parents who lets me travel. But for most of the people I know, main factor is money.

Mystery Manila

If you ever been a person on who's on the look out for something new in the metro, then you might have heard about Mystery Manila and Breakout. If not, then just a simple intro.. Mystery Manila and Breakout are offering interactive puzzle/mystery rooms where you have to solve and find clues so you would be able to go out from the room. If you're a detective by heart, then this is you! Hehehe. :) I've been hearing good reviews about this and I also wanted to try this even before. So when my friends kidnapped me from McKinley, we went straight to Mystery Manila to try it out.

discovery country suites

I'm not really a south person. I don't even know which cities consists south, but well.. let's not talk about Geography. I felt very lucky to stay in a very country yet classy suite type hotel in Tagaytay. Actually this wasn't part of the plan, my college close friend Nadine and I really planned to go to SG this year, however, we can't seem to find a package that will suit our budget well. We went to Travel Expo this year held at SMX and searched for the most budget friendly package we could find but it seems that it wasn't for us. Most of the packages that were offered in the expo didn't have an airfare yet, and as we all know, airfares aren't cheap! We went through all the booths but found nothing so we decided to try to book our airfare in AirAsia. The line was very long and we're kind of hungry already. After waiting, we don't know how we got unlucky but they said they don't have a direct flight to Singapore like WHUUUUT?! We wanted to try Cebu Pacific but the line was too long (like double the queue in AirAsia), and we're already hungry.. so yeah, we stopped.

2015 has been one of my best years yet. Every year is a roller coaster ride of emotions but 2015 was different. Although it wasn't perfect (because there's no such thing as perfect year), it has given so much blessings that even myself doesn't know what did I do to deserve all those blessings. It was a hell of a year for me. From travelling, to meeting new people, to eating.. a lot! I was also able to finally abide by my new year's resolution to lose weight and eat healthy.
