I'll be honest, when I was told I'll be flying to Tacloban to witness their Sangyaw Festival, I was ecstatic because I'll be going somewhere I have never been, but I also imagined a place that is gloomy, sad and eerie. Maybe because the image that got stuck in my head (and I'm sure in most of yours too) is the devastating tragedy which happened 5 years ago when typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan destroyed almost 90% of the city. And even before that, the place was never in our list of places to visit or fly to when planning our vacations. I always thought, "Not much to see, not much to do". BUT BOY, WAS I WRONG!!! And during the trip, I kept asking myself this question over and over-- "Why didn't I come sooner?!" Read on to know more...
As a Northerner (Jon Snow lang haha), I'm so happy that I have another option when it comes to entertainment, shopping and leisure. I'm so happy to discover that there's a place where I can unwind, relax, shop, run errands and best part? It's just a few minutes away from home! A few days ago, me and my friends checked out Fisher Mall to shop and bond before Ana leaves for her Europe vacay. We all got surprised when we got there! Find out why below...
I've been busy working the past few months so I missed a lot of events. But I finally have the time now that our movie shoot is over!!! Woots. Anyway, one of the exciting events I missed is the UK-based female footwear brand Butterfly Twist Spring/Summer 2018 collection launch at Early Night, BGC last May 30. Thanks to my friends from BT (Hi Denise & Dana) for just sending me my own pair! Will post an OOTD soon! :) Anyway, here are photos and stories from the launch...
I love going to events which inspires, motivates and pulls out the big dreams out of their attendees--- and that's what happened 2 weeks ago during the AQUAFINA event held at the Glorietta Activity Center! The world's best-selling water launched their newest campaign called #BESTBEGINSNOW with the event bustling with activities headed by an amazing group of inspirational speakers and guests who are paving their own way and who have all aspired and conquered in their respective fields. Who are they? More on that below...
Starting another travel post, now na!!! Woohoo. I did a poll last time which of my past travels you'd like to see next on the blog and most of you answered-- KRABI, Thailand! So here it is, finally!!! Uumpisahan ko na after 1 year. Haha. So much happened after our trip, so I wasn't able to blog about it. I get a few inquiries in my DM every now and then about that trip last year, so I decided to write about it na. :)
Anyway! The trip was a spontaneous one. Nico has always wanted to go to Maya Bay and Ko Phi Phi islands (ultimate beach boy eh) where his favorite movie "The Beach" was filmed, so when Air Asia had an online big points sale which included Krabi, we quickly grabbed the opportunity! More about our booking and our trip below...
So we've reached the end of the road! This is the last installment of my Autumn in Korea posts. Sorry if it took me so long to finish it, got busy with other work stuff huhu. Anyway, on our last 2 days in Seoul, my family and I visited the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace, explored the streets of Bukchon Hanok Village and also spent our last few hours in the city shopping at Myengdong (where our hotel is located). Here are photos and stories from our adventure...
Hello, I am Pax and I'm a travel addict. If you're a reader of my blog or if you follow me on Instagram, then you've seen and you'd see how much I love exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures. I really don't care if it's out of the country or out of town (or kahit a few hours drive lang from Manila), nothing thrills me more than getting lost in an unfamiliar land. Sabi ko nga, I live & work to travel. (my Mom dislikes this HAHA). I am also a self confessed budget (I'd also like to believe, smart???) traveler. My friends, family and readers knows this. I am the type of person who enjoys planning, researching and booking flights, hotels and tours! And one of my best travel hacks, which always result in huge savings, is booking flights--for "FREE"!!! How? Read on to know more...
