Taiwan Solo Trip 2019 Day 3 & 4: Check Inn Hotel, Xingtian Temple, Huashan 1914 Park & Wufenpu Market

Finally, another travel post! Actually, I haven't blogged for quite some time because my laptop kept hanging and nakakawalang gana sa totoo lang. So I finally bought a new 2nd hand one during our Japan trip! Yey! This time I finally took the plunge (stuck with windows for so long hihi) and bought an 11" Macbook air. So far so good! Hope this lasts for years na please lang. Haha. Nico kept teasing me that I keep on delaying my posts so here I am trying to prove him wrong. Lelz. To recap, I went on a 10-day solo Taiwan adventure last May and this is the 2nd installment! On my 3rd and 4th day, I transferred to a new accommodation and just took my time exploring the city. No tours yet! Read on to know where I went and what I did... 

Stay Healthy and Glowing Everyday with RITEMED

Life has been pretty hectic lately. I’ve had out of town trips with family and friends, a movie shoot, blog events, organized Bloggers United etc. Don’t get me wrong, as a workaholic and someone who’s always on the go—I’m actually reveling in it. Hihi. But in between the hustle, it is also very easy to catch a cold or get tired easily. That’s why I’m thankful I discovered RITEMED’s Sodium Ascorbate and Fibermate! Read on to know how it helped me big time and why it’s now my everyday partner…

Taiwan Solo Trip 2019, Day 1 & 2: Arrival, Cherry Blossoms, City Tour & Pinglin Tea Plantation

Hi guys!!! I got a lot of messages asking me if I already blogged about my solo adventure in Taiwan, so here it is!!! I emailed my itinerary to many of you but will post here (and in my next blog posts) details about my whole trip. I've been to Taiwan a few times before, so I set a goal for this particular trip-- explore places I've never been to and to finally see cherry blossoms! I took a chance hoping I'd come across kahit 1-2 trees in full bloom. And what do you know? Goal achieved agad on my 2nd day in the city! So, so happy I finally got to tick that off my bucket list. Sakura in Japan or Korea naman next! :) Anyway, here are stories and photos from my first 2 days in Taiwan, plus tips on itinerary creation, booking and of course, budget! Read on...

BAYO Celebrates Modern Filipinas in New Campaign + My Bayo Story

I've known the brand BAYO all my life. I'm sure most of you 90's babies could relate that it's one of those brands that has become my/our closet staple (lalo na mga nagooffice jan), one of those local brands that has become a part of our history. :) For 27 years, I watched the brand evolve and flourish even with all the competitions coming in and that's kind of amazing right?! I am so happy that they continue to withstand these ever changing times, much like the country and the people they represent. This 2019, BAYO celebrates the evolution of Modern Filipinas through a beautiful collection that tells her story. Read on to know more... 

Antipolo's Hidden Gem: Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa + Garden Suites

Last week, Nico and I went on a quick, but very relaxing getaway east of Manila, just less than an hour drive from the city (well, at least from our place in Cubao hehe). I love going on little breaks in places that are accessible yet still far enough from the busy city. Places like Antipolo's hidden gem-- Luljetta's Hanging Gardens! I've always wanted to visit this beautiful place after seeing countless photos of it online but never got the chance, so the invite from Travelbook.ph to check out this Bali-inspired paradise was just perfect timing. I'm also in desperate need of a nice respite from this summer heat that is just killing me. So without further ado, let me take you on a tour of this lush oasis that is the best destination if you want a quick escape with your friends or loved ones. Read on to know more...

Innisfree Opens in SM Megamall + My Favorite Products!

Last April 5, my favorite Korean skin care brand INNISFREE just opened their 2nd store in SM Megamall and I couldn't be happier! Aside from being just a stone's throw away from me, the store also carries and offers most of their best-selling products. Now I can now stock up on my favorite skin care products anytime. I remember panicking 'coz I run out of my Green Tea Seed Serum which I got from Korea, luckily Anagon gave me a new one as a gift! If you're from the South, they also have a branch in SM Mall of Asia. Anyway, sharing with you photos from the media launch last April 4 where a few bloggers/vloggers and I was able to take a sneak peek of their new store before it opened to the public.

Nico and I aren't big on anniversaries. We do birthdays best though. Haha!
