  • Little Tokyo Sunday Fiesta

    Nothing to do this weekend? If you’re not headed north for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, why not head to Makati for Little Tokyo’s Sunday Fiesta?

  • Everywhere else but here

    I know I’ve been remiss with my blogging duties. That’s what happens you don’t travel. Which is really ironic, because it means I now have more time to write. I’ve been enjoying my time away from the computer, but unfortunately, it’s not spent mostly with my tablet. All free time is now spent playing Pocket…

  • Long weekend at Taal Vista Hotel

    Though I much prefer traveling for more than three days, there is something to be said about going out of town for the weekend to relax after a long week and recharge for another week ahead. When I received the invitation to stay for a weekend at Taal Vista Hotel, I didn’t hesitate to say…

  • Give the gift of travel from Deal Grocer

    This special feature is brought to you in part by Deal Grocer. Whenever Christmas comes around, traffic in Metro Manila gets even worse than it already is.
