Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm

09.26.2014 by Leah //

The highlight of our weekend trip in Tagaytay some 2 weeks ago was our visit to Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm.  Although we've been to Tagaytay countless times already, we never got around to checking out the place until 2 weeks ago. Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm turned out to be more than just a bee farm.  It is also an animal sanctuary where chickens, geese, bunnies, ... READ MORE

A Relaxing Weekend in Tagaytay

09.13.2014 by Leah //

As you may have noticed, I have lots of travel posts here in the blog that features Tagaytay.  Whenever AJ and I wanted a change of scenery, a weekend getaway or an impromptu day trip - we almost always find ourselves in Tagaytay, which is just a 2-hour drive from Manila. Last week was particularly stressful to us both - him with an impending system go-live (scheduled next ... READ MORE

Hotel Villa Rosa

09.08.2014 by Leah //

It was my sis-in-law Juvvy who 'discovered' Hotel Villa Rosa, a beautiful mansion located in Alcoy, Cebu that functions as a boutique hotel. The municipality of Alcoy, Cebu is known for its numerous dive sites and proximity to the town of Oslob - the home of the famous whale sharks of Cebu (locally called butandings).  From Oslob, you can hire a boat to take you ...

A Cebu Weekend Getaway

09.05.2014 by Leah //

How I wish my weekends will always look like this: Waking up at the sight of a calm and peaceful ocean. Enjoying a morning dip at the pool. Swimming with whale sharks until lunch. Enjoying a laid back afternoon at a mansion that you can rent per day.   Non-stop snacking on local biscuits. Spending quality time with my family (especially ... READ MORE

From Toronto with Love

09.02.2014 by Leah //

The hubby went to Toronto, Canada for a 3-week training last month, and he bought as pasalubong for me this beautiful leather wallet from Roots Canada: This was my personal request actually, having been stalking the Roots website since I found out that AJ will be going to Toronto hehe! Roots is a well-known Canadian brand known for its high quality leather goods. ... READ MORE

Dancing Jellies at Manila Ocean Park

07.26.2014 by Leah //

The first time I've been to Manila Ocean Park was in 2008, when I helped organized a Children's Christmas Party there with about 500 kids as guests.  Manila Ocean Park was fairly new then and the only attraction that I remembered from that trip was the Oceanarium - a stunning walkthrough of the watery depths featuring 7 sections and containing 1,900 cubic meters of seawater. ...

A Day at Sky Ranch Tagaytay

04.30.2014 by Leah //

It's been years since I've last been to an amusement park.   Although it's a happy place to be in, I just cannot understand why the passes and rides have to be so expensive.  I guess this is the reason why twice ko lang na-visit ang Enchanted Kingdom, hehe. When AJ and I made an impromptu stop at Sky Ranch in Tagaytay last Sunday (where we spent the weekend with his family), ... READ MORE

Uber Manila: Everyone’s Private Driver

03.17.2014 by Leah //

For some months now, I've been trying to install the GrabTaxi app in my Xperia smartphone but the installation process would always conk out in the middle that I never got to finish it. This taxi booking app is supposed to be the answer to my katamaran to commute to and from work through public transport (i.e. PUJs).  You see, I don't drive and I don't want to learn how to.  ...
