Mini Adventure in Panguil River Eco Park

April 28, 2013 1 Comments

          It's summer! The temperature in manila everyday range from 30°C to 34°C, and this is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the heat. Last Sunday, my loves' family planned a family outing to celebrate his uncle's birthday. We gather at his uncle's place in Binangonan and since we rented a van, the transportation is hassle-free. I think its about 2 hours to get there from Binangonan because we did a stop over to eat a quick & light breakfast (and a bit of picture taking, too).

Celebrating Chinese New Year 2013 in Chinatown Binondo

February 12, 2013 0 Comments
     Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name.  
     Here in the Philippines, we have our own little Chinatown in Binondo which is included in the list of the "World’s Best Chinatowns" by CNNGo, the travel website of Cable News NetworkBinondo is an enclave in Manila primarily populated by ethnic Chinese living in the Philippines. It is the oldest Chinatown in the world, established in 1594. (Wiw!)
     Last Saturday February 9, me together with my collegues Ely Valendez, Somer Resurreccion and Charlie Oracion went there to witness how Filipinos and Tsinoys celebrate the Spring Festival. This is also my first Photowalk so I was so excited. 
     Allow me to share these photos with you...

Passport Application / Renewal Now Accessible at SM Manila, Megamall and Robinsons Galleria

October 18, 2012 5 Comments
     The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) opened its Consular Offices at SM Manila, Megamall and Robinsons Galleria. This is for the convenience of those that aren't near the main office in Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City.


     Don't get to excited and rush to those DFA Offices because they will not accommodate you if you don't have an appointment. So, to set an appointment, click here.

     Take time to read the reminders specially if this is your first time to apply for a passport (like me). Fill up the application form, set the date & time of your appointment and confirm the email they will send you.

These are some important things you need to know:

My first attend to the BDJ Fair 2012!

October 16, 2012 2 Comments
     It's already 12:30pm when I reached Mall of Asia and rushed to the Music Hall for the Belle de Jour Fair 2012 hoping not to be late. Luckily, I made it in time for the Bloggers Extraordinaire seminar. Wiw! It might be a lucky day for me because I instantly won a  Bauhaus Jeans in the raffle. 

     Then the emcee called out the first speaker who is a travel enthusiast, Ms Patty Laurel. (follow her on twitter) She gave some insights about her passion in travelling & shared some useful tips, too. For me, the best thing she said was to "Invest in Experience". There are some things you just  cannot explain to other people unless they experience it. Same goes with travelling. 


     I just remember, my mom used to be an OFW before when I was a kid. One day, she told me that if fate permits her, she will still work abroad even at her age now. I am already working so I don't see any reason for her to do that, so I asked why. She said that going to another country widens your understanding to different culture & beliefs. Now I am curious and would like to go to other places and create my own journeys.
