A Staycation at Seda Hotel Vertis North
One of my favorite episodes in Miranda is “Holiday,” where, when goaded by her friends and family about not being cool and wild, impulsively declared that she’s going on a weekend getaway to Thailand. When she gets home though, instead of booking a flight, she booked a room at the hotel right around the corner.

Nagoya: Your gateway to Japan
This is a long overdue post about my trip to Nagoya and the Chubu region in 2015 with Cebu Pacific. When people talk about traveling to Japan, the first place that comes to mind is Tokyo, followed by Kyoto. Naturally, for those flying into the country, the point of entry that comes to mind is…

Ironically, it’s when I went back to living in Quezon City that I started discovering and frequenting Makati’s various districts. I was already familiar with Salcedo Village, Legaspi Village, and Little Tokyo, but…

Where to get your Chicken Joy fix at Manila Airport terminals
Like most kids in the Philippines, I grew up eating Jollibee’s Chicken Joy. Many other fried chicken places have popped up around the country, but it doesn’t really stop the craving for Chicken Joy. I have friends and family who live overseas in countries where there are no Jollibee, and when they come home, it’s…
