Lately, my social media news feed has been full of beautiful places offering a quick reprieve from the usual day-to-day-pandemic-slash-political issues we all are facing. One of these places is Ruined Project? In Tagaytay. The pictures shown in social media are so Instagram-worthy that we decided to schedule a visit to this place. Ruined Project? was visualized to…

A Luxurious Retreat at The Farm at San Benito
Most of us has been inside our homes for quite some time already for the past months due to the pandemic. Our little boy, like most kids, is feeling bored as he is not accustomed to being holed-up for months inside our house. For his birthday this month, he requested to go to a hotel or resort to celebrate this…
R and R in the New Normal at Lotuspod Bed and Breakfast
We have been on lock-down here in the Philippines for more than six months already. Most of us, our family included, would really love to go out and clear our mind to help ease the anxiety we are all feeling due to this pandemic. With the lock-down guidelines changing every two weeks, planning a vacation or staycation has been very…
The Flying Carnival: Our First Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is an annual event held normally at Clark, Pampanga. This year, the venue was changed into San Lazaro Leisure Park at Carmona, Cavite. As the new venue was less than an hour away from our home, we decided to attend the event. The Flying Carnival 2020, as this year’s event is called,…
A Birthday Staycation at Canyon Cove
Every year, during our little boy’s birthday, our small family make it a point to go out of town (or out of the country if time permits). This is our way of celebrating and giving thanks to another year given to his life. This year was no exemption. We asked Neo where and how he wanted to celebrate his…
The Tale of Two Staycation Days at Crimson Hotel
Lately, our family is quite into quick getaways aka staycation. We so love traveling around far places but since time and work does not permit a long vacation right now, we just settled for staycations around the metro. We frequent places in the South of Metro Manila and would always look for good deals for a quick R&R. We chanced…
Monte Vista Hotsprings & Conference Resort
The start of the ber-months marks my father’s birthday. During this time we already feel the cold temperature yet my father decided to celebrate his birthday in one of the resorts at Laguna. Luckily he decided for a hot spring resort, unluckily he decided for a night swimming. Who am I (or we, his children) to contradict when it was…
Club Balai Isabel Visit + Aqua Park Experience
Summer was almost over when my office friends decided to have one last summer hooray. We have quite a few criteria in selecting the place where we wanted to spend it. As most of us have families already (and we didn’t bring them with us), the number one consideration we wanted was a place close to the metro. We also…
Anniversary Getaway at Acuaverde Beach Resort
During our anniversary, it was customary for the husband and I to plan an out of town or out of the country trip. This year, just like last year, started so busy because of work that we were not able to plan ahead of time. Due to this, our small family has limited options in terms to traveling for our…
A Day Of R&R at Belmont Hotel
As a family, we are not really fond of staycations. We prefer traveling when spending time as a family. However, the start of the year will be a busy one for us so we will have to spend more time in hotels to celebrate and/or relax. Last year, when I attended the Ad Summit 2018, I was fortunate to…
