Our Singapore trip was roughly about three days so we had to follow a strict itinerary, considering that we were also working remotely while on the road. But we still wanted our travel schedule to be “free and easy” so we got down to business right away and visited Chinatown. Our main goal was to…

My 36th birthday was, by far, my favorite one because we celebrated it at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Singapore. My husband and I are big fans of Gordon Ramsay (we’ve watched all of his shows) and so it was a dream come true, literally, to finally dine at one of his restaurants. Bread Street…

One fine weekend, we decided to visit the small plot of land that we’ve purchased from a developer in Maragondon, Cavite. It has always been my dream to build my forever home in the uplands of Cavite, me and my husband’s hometown, and it’s surely a dream come true to finally be able to own…

Though pricey than what my wallet can usually handle, I’ve always liked Holiday Inn, because they’re one of the best hotels my cheapskate self has been in, and they always go the extra mile with their service.

Hong Kong and Macau, both Special Administrative Regions of the People’s Republic of China, are worlds apart in terms of colonial influences, but are united by their generally tourist-friendly atmosphere. As casual travelers, we loved the fact that you can have your own moment to mill about, despite the frenetic pace of activities around you….

Kowloon is a big city, although not quite. It is packed, but with the MTR connecting tourists to key Kowloon points of interests, it’s not impossible to cover a lot of mileage. What’s even better is that Kowloon is a city that never sleeps, so you can tour Kowloon at nighttime as well. This is…
