  • Hong Kong Day 2: Tai Kok Tsui Temple Fair, Hiking the Wilson Trail and the Symphony of Lights

    After much tossing and turning, I was finally able to sleep soundly around 4am. I awoke around 8am, wondering what time we would be heading out, and where we’ll go for breakfast. Vincent went out of his room around 9am, and by 10am, we were heading out his apartment. Mmm, roast. Never did get to…

  • Hong Kong Day 1: Arriving at HKIA and meeting my Couch Surfing host

    The flight from Manila to Hong Kong was smooth enough. Because of the limited selection of shows that I can watch on PAL’s personal AVOD system, I was able to nap on the short flight across the South China Sea. I awoke to see nothing but fog outside my window, as the captain announce that…

  • A relaxing weekend in Tagaytay

    My dollie friends and I went out on a day trip to Tagaytay last Saturday. Tagaytay is the perfect summer getaway, if you can’t spare several days off work. The weather was gorgeous — the sky was blue with a scattering of fluffy white clouds, and while the sun was shining brightly, there’s always a…

  • Travel Expenses: Hong Kong

    I’m back from my trip to Hong Kong over the weekend. Since I always keep track of my expenses for every trip, the budget is always the first entry to be finished. This Hong Kong trip was certainly one of the cheapest trip I’ve had lately, specially since it was an international trip (coming close…

  • Playing the waiting game at the Centennial airport

    I’m here at the Centennial terminal of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, waiting for my flight to be called. It’s been a while since I’ve been at Terminal 2. It’s actually quite nice here during daytime; not as gloomy as it is during the night. The airport isn’t crowded today, and there are plenty of…

  • Experience the world at Bellagio Square

    In the most unassuming of places stand Bellagio Square, a dining and entertainment center in Malate, Manila, with facilities for dining, health, beauty and wellness. Located in Jorge Bocobo street, it’s just a short walk from Robinson’s Midtown Mall. So why go to Bellagio when you can stay at the mall?
