We didn’t plan a Disneyland itinerary on our second day since we anticipated that we will be staying late the night before. Instead we decided to go to Ngong Ping Village. We initially agreed to be out of the guesthouse by 9am, but since we were a group of 7 – with a lot of delays aka hintayan, we arrived at…
Our Hong Kong trip started by waking up at 3AM to catch an 8am flight in terminal 3. This is Neo and my first time to be out of the country and we were anticipating delays in checking-in and immigration – but we didn’t encountered it. It was one swift flight to Hong Kong. We gathered all maps that are…
Travelling out of the country needs careful planning and budgeting. This was the case of the Hong Kong vacation we took at the last week of November. This was an early birthday present for the little boy – who’ll be celebrating his special day on the second week of December. Since we traveled as a group of 7 (me, the hubby, both…
The Manila Hotel is one of the grandest and oldest hotels in the country. It is a luxury hotel located at Manila near Intramuros and adjacent to Quirino Grandstand. We were fortunate to spend an overnight at The Manila Hotel one Saturday of May due to work. It wasn’t really a staycation for me, since I have work to do,…
Our family have been meaning to visit Ace Water Spa since we heard about it years ago. We have a little boy who loves water so much, and we figure he will be so happy when we visit Ace Water Spa. However, since we live in Cavite and the two branches of Ace Water Spa is located at Pasig and…

We figured celebrating outside the comforts of our home would be the best way for us to commemorate an additional year to our marriage. Normally, these vacations are planned two to three months before our anniversary. However, this year, our careers took center stage and spending our…
After visiting Palaui Island, I collated some notes that could help other tourist (or me when I visit the place again). Palaui Island is famous because this is where the Survivor Season 27 and Season 28 were held. There are two tour boat associations that are accredited to bring tourist at Palaui Island. One is from where we came from,…
Punta Verde is where the local community of Palaui Island is located. It is also a Marine Base. The shores of Punta Verde, during the time we went there, was full of dead seaweeds. It was because it rained a day before we went there. It looks dirty because it’s all black, but was really non-toxic naman. I was really…
After touring Cape Engano, our next stop was Siwangag Cove. Our boatman actually asked if we wanted to visit the place, we said yes because we thought we’re already there so might as well explore everything. It took us around 30 minutes boat ride from Cape Engano to Siwangag Cove. Sadly, nothing really was worth seeing at Siwangag Cove. There are lots…
After spending the afternoon strolling at Nangaramoan Beach, we decided to rest early to prepare for our Palaui Adventure the next day. The boatman who will take us to Palaui Island told us that we should be sailing as early as 6AM to maximize our time. The boatman quoted us Php3,8oo from Nangaramoan Beach to Palaui Island inclusive of bringing us…
