Yabang Nito

I know I've been yapping non-stop about Bill. Well, this is my blog and I will write whatever the hell I want to write since I don't have the nerve to speak elsewhere. You see, I've never posted about Bill on social media. Nobody else on my friends list, aside from a few close…

How Much Do You Get for a Kidney?

Today, I planned on writing a blog post where I tell the world how we had a pretty amazing out-of-town weekend but all that's going through my mind is Bill. I think I'm obsessed. Not that I'm trying to learn about cars and how it works because I couldn't even get myself …

Road Trip to Kalon Barak

Yesterday was our baby's string of many firsts. First, we named our baby, Bill. I know Bill doesn't have anything to do with a car. Unlike others, I didn't name it after its color, it's performance, or whatever's under its hood. I could come up with Silver Bullet, S…

Koleksyon

I wasn't really a big fan of souvenirs. When Jan and I traveled far and wide, we didn't bring anything home with us but pictures and memories until our first  trip in Boracay (emphasis on the word first because we're going back there soon and I hope I'm not jinxing it by …

Valentongs

I didn't realize that it's already February until I saw quite a lot of  bitter Valentine's posts on my newsfeed. LOL. Anyway, February na pala. In a few days Valentine's na naman. Sa mga nagbabalak magbigay sa akin ng gifts, wag nyo na po ako bigyan ng love dahil lunod na …

Parallel Parking Is Evil

I've never been this scared my whole life. I honestly thought that a 50-foot cliff jumping was the scariest thing I've ever done until I had to pass a practical driving exam. I was certain I knew what to do but I just got cold all over, my heart was beating fast, my breath wa…

Photo Diary: Universal Studios Singapore (2017)

I've never been to a theme park before. I've never been to Enchanted Kingdom nor Star City. But there are carnivals that come to our city from time to time which made me a sucker for extreme rides. And by extreme, I mean, those dodgy and rusty roller coasters that clank and screec…

What Is It like to Be Color Blind?

And a graphic designer at that? Well, honestly, I've never been under the spotlight for being color blind. Or maybe I am just lucky not to be surrounded with scumbags who point at random objects and ask me what color that thing is the moment I tell them I am color blind. It wa…

Photo Dump: The Best of 2017

Today, I thought of making a Christmas  New Year's wishlist just so I have something to blog about. But I've already gotten more than what I would have wished for. Also, it would just make me feel guilty knowing that Jan gave me an iPhone SE for Christmas while all I got for him w…

A Grand Christmas Ball to Remember

"Hey, I got a new badge on my blog." "Congratulations! You deserve that!" "Thanks! But I want to add something right there." There was a pause. "I want to win a Palanca ," I told Jan flat out loud. He gave me an eager look as he contin…

Beast Mode

I guess Jan and I need an attitude makeover. You see, we've been together in more than 20 flights. And perhaps a little less than half of that were at least an hour to three hours delayed. And not one, not a single free flight voucher from any airline has been issued to us for the i…

It's a Bootie Ball

I was eyeing on this particular shoe for several months even though I do not have a reason to wear it. I think  boots are completely out of fashion when you're living in a hot and humid country. But I got one just in case I might need it. Just so you know, I suffer from a different …

Yehliu Geopark

Most of the time when we travel, we DIY because it is a whole lot better than organized tours for the following reasons: you take control of your own time and speed, you have your own freedom to explore, and it is way cheaper. But that is not always the case. Sometimes, choosing conv…

Photo Diary: Zhongshe Flower Market

This isn't part of our itinerary. Honestly, I didn't know about this until we realized that we still have more than eight hours to spend before our flight back home. And I'm glad I came across TripAdvisor's Top Ten Things to Do in Taichung because it would be a bummer …

Cycling Around Sun Moon Lake

When we extended our travel dates, I know that a visit to Sun Moon Lake is a must. Two hours by bus from the city of Taichung, Taiwan lies the beautiful and breathtaking Sun Moon Lake. Sun Moon Lake offers a lot of activities. You can do a round-the-lake bus tour , or board the boat…

Taiwan It That Way

I've got to say, this is one of the most memorable trips I've ever had. And I bet Jan would say the same. We booked our Taiwan trip from November 16 to 19, thinking that 3 days would be enough for Taipei. But since the airline cancelled our flight on the 16th, we had it moved …

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

For the first time in my life, I wished I have the singing voice and be in a musical. Well actually, I have been part of musicals. The biggest one I had was just a mere school play in college. But what difference does it make? I think the only line that divides both professional and a…

Dress Diaries

I'll be honest. Even though I'm no fashionista and my wardrobe is always out of season, I would be lying if I say I don't like dressing up. It makes me look human. But what I hate about dressing up is the misery of finding the dress that's actually wearable. And by weara…

Photo Diary: Hong Kong Disneyland

I was 4 when I was first introduced to Mickey Mouse. Since then, I fell in love with anything Disney. From The Rescuers to Aladdin to their first computer animated film Toy Story to their latest live-action film Beauty and the Beast. Name it. I have seen it all. Disney has etched magi…

How We Got Around Macau for FREE

Well, almost. Macau is also known as "Little Vegas" or the "Vegas of Asia", or at least that's what I've heard. And with its reputation for grand casinos and luxurious hotels, all the while we really thought going around Macau is expensive. But with researc…

Has Anybody Ever Told You...

I am an average looking gal. Most of the time, I look like I just rolled and fell from my bed.

I Did Not Choose the Klutz Life, the Klutz Life Chose Me

This morning, just like every morning, I woke up earlier than my alarm feeling groggy. And to make things worse, I hit the corner of my bedside bookshelf with my head. I could have gone dramatic over a small, assumed-concussion like what I always do when my hormones go on a monthly overdr…

How I Avoided Pregnancy Stretch Marks

I'm not saying that stretchmarks are bad. This is in no way an indication that your body is ruined. But it is indeed a proof of how it has triumphed. However, a lot of people are still asking me how come I do not have pregnancy stretchmarks at all. Well, I had my way of "avoiding…
