  • A Staycation at Seda Hotel Vertis North

    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.

  • What’s in my bag?

    What’s in my bag?

    In the ten years I’ve been traveling, I’ve gone through so many travel gears and accessories. There are some that other people have sworn by, but I find not quite fitting for me and my style of travel. I have items that I’ve had since I started, and continue to buy when it wears out.…

  • Hotel Review: KL Tower Serviced Residences

    Hotel Review: KL Tower Serviced Residences

    Disclaimer: I was invited by the hotel to stay overnight at their property, free of charge. Since I work from home, and have enrolled all my bills to online banking, there is very little reason for me to leave my house. When cabin fever hits, I venture out of my cave, and make sure to…

    Review: WorldBitesPH Snack

    Over the last couple of years, I’ve gotten hooked on watching YouTube videos, specifically the ones produced by Buzzfeed. I particularly love the videos where they try different food from around the world — I enjoy seeing them get squeamish about food that’s unfamiliar. When World Bites reached out and asked if I want to…

    Review: Ocean Suites Bohol

    I normally don’t travel during Philippine holidays, primarily because my work requires me to follow the US holidays, but also because I know everybody will be traveling then, and the prices go up. However, My birthday falls between Thanksgiving and Bonifacio Day this year, so when I chanced upon a Cebu Pacific seat sale, I…

    Review: Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0

    Last May, Asus launched the Zenfone 2 smartphone in the Philippines, and I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a unit to use and review. Though my review was based on just two days of use, I’ve continued using the unit until a couple of weeks when I received the Zenfone 2 Laser to review. To…

  • Review: Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

    Review: Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

    Bangkok is one of my favorite cities to visit, and after several visits, I have already established some habits: staying at the same area, eating at the same places. For my recent trip, I knew I had to try something new, so when Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok offered me a great rate for a two night’s…
