Best Cities in the Philippines to Visit

What Are the Best Cities in the Philippines? The Philippines is a country of contrasts: modern skylines stand beside centuries-old churches, while bustling food streets give way to mountain retreats. Instead of searching for one “best city,” it makes more sense to ask: which city fits the kind of trip you want? Whether you’re after […]

A Family Adventure at Cebu Ocean Park

On a rainy afternoon, our family embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Cebu Ocean Park, the largest oceanic park in the Philippines.

Stays at Jack’s in the Sky BUDA

Birthdays always make for a good excuse to stop and do something nice for one’s self. A few months ago, we visited Jack’s in the Sky for a quick cup of coffee. We were so enamored by the place that we vowed to come back for an overnight stay. I turn thirty-something this month and […]
The Serenity of Lake Apo

Lakes have always fascinated me. I think it’s the water’s mysterious character that pulls me in — how you could not really tell how deep it is and what lies underneath. How the surface that perfectly mirrors the sky is quite enchanting too. The only other lake I have seen was Lake Sebu in South […]
Palpitate Coffee Davao

Coffee shops have been opening left, right, and center around Davao City and I am all for it. My friends from Adie’s old school recommended this coffee shop that not only looked chic but also had good reviews online. And the name was catchy, too!

New Discovery: geePods Buda

We were on our way back to Davao from Reel Place (see previous post) when we felt the need for another cup of coffee. I initially wanted to check out Tree House Coffee + Rooms but I was intrigued by another cafe by the roadside. And boy was I glad I made Jun pull over […]
Revisiting Reel Place in Bukidnon

Habagat season has officially commenced in the Philippines. This means excruciating heat in the daytime and torrential rains at night. So here we are dreaming of going out but can only revisit photos of our last road trip. Our farthest stop was at Reel Place in Lorega, Bukidnon before we turned back to Davao City. […]
Passing Through Jack’s In the Sky

Buda has come a long way in 10 years. This area between Davao City and Bukidnon used to be short of places to stop over and have a nice meal with kids. When we first visited this area of Davao City little Adie, the only thing she enjoyed was the strawberries. Now with Little B, […]
