The Youth Tourism Response Philippines (YouthTRiP) brings you Jokefest for the Dateless, a fund raising…

  • De-stressing at UP Diliman

    The past two weeks has been great, but it also took a lot from me. I have been looking forward to my guest’s visit since I got back from Australia, but I never thought it would stress me so much. What better way to recover from stress than by having a picnic at the University…

  • Ten things to do while waiting at the Cebu Pacific ticketing office

    Take note of the current number they’re serving and your own number. Hopefully, there would be about 80 people ahead of you so you’d have time to shop. Go to the mall information kiosk and ask if there’s a travel agency in the building. Locate the agency and ask if they book flights with Cebu…

  • How to Cook Adobo

    American wrestler and model Travis Kraft teaches us how. In Filipino. And with such (insert adjective here) accent. Props to the guy for trying his best to learn and speak the language. I cook adobo quite differently though. (Mine’s the lazy version.) How to cook adobo, Nina-style: Marinate meat of your choice inside the pan…

  • Trinoma Blogger Food Tour

    When Yehey announced that it will be sponsoring 100 bloggers for a free food tour in Trinoma last November, I was devastated. The tour was scheduled for the 2nd week of December and I would still be in Australia. So it was with much glee that I found out later on that it has been…
