Hello, I'm back! I haven't been writing because there's nothing interesting to share but I've been seeing lots of ads in my IG lately about pearl jewelry for sale. Some even have celebrity endorsers for their products. What piqued my curiosity was that there seems to be an excess supply of pearl necklaces because they are being sold everywhere. It was so tempting to ... READ MORE

Bid for this: Pearl Necklace from Palawan
I got inspirational boost from the messages and comments you left when I mentioned about the jewelry business I was invited to join.

The Art Nook at Ka Lui

And because all I've been seeing outside is a ... READ MORE
Honda Bay Tour (Take 2!)
In a recent trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan (for work), me and my office colleagues were able to squeeze in time for a Honda Bay Tour. Since our flight back to Manila was on a Saturday evening, we decided to make use of the available time in the morning by taking this island-hopping trip at Honda Bay (i.e., Honda Bay Tour).
