Cebu | Treehouse de Valentine, Balamban

After more than a month of lockdown in the city, a much-needed retreat was needed to get away from work and the recurring pandemic anxiety. I have previously visited the road to Balamban during my first week in Cebu, around end of June, during our road trip aka food-hopping then and was greeted with same green scenery going to Treehouse de Valentine which was very soothing for both the eyes and soul. You can opt to have brunch or lunch on the way because there are loads of restaurants with amazing view which is what we did exactly.

Cebu | ­­Huna Huna Cliff Resort, Catmon

Welcoming us in the humble municipality of Catmon, just right at the border after Carmen, is this long-standing beach resort which existed some twenty years ago.  The name Huna Huna Cliff Resort is derived from the Cebuano term, “huna huna”, which means thoughts, thinking, or to think. And indeed, the place exudes where one can ponder their thoughts and simply relax with how it is situated with the beautiful scenery of cliff hanging Spanish-Mediterranean architecture overlooking the Camotes Sea.

Thailand | Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam

Unbelievably, the trip last May to Bangkok was my first-time and it surely did not disappoint. I have been meaning to visit this city where seemingly two worlds collide – the old beautiful temple structures and the urban jungle view it offers.

Manila | City Garden Suites

Planned to do some catch up with my friends, Marx and RJ, last end of March during the summer season. And what better way to do so and avoid the summer heat than to have a staycation! The perfect location we found plus have some fun is at City Garden Suites in Manila, where they do not only offer mere staycations but fun packages like day trip to Star City and the like. We opt this Star City package since my sister, who moved to Manila, have not yet experienced to go there.

USA | HI Boston & Harvard, Massachusetts

USA | Harvard, Massachusetts

After a quick Washington DC and NYC visit, we squeezed Boston in our itinerary before really exploring NYC because we could not resist to visit Boston’s rich history and Harvard. Yep, true story! So here we were very much exhausted from our continuous travel from one city to the other and greeted with the coldest temperature I have experienced in my life. In this oldest city in the United States, it is also the home of 52 institutions of higher education including several top universities and colleges like Harvard University, M.I.T., among others.

 USA | Lower East Side, New York City, New York

Swiftly after 3 days in the United States, we travelled from Washington DC to New York City to finally have a bite and glimpse of the Big Apple! I remember when talking about with my friends when planning or ‘dreaming’ to visit US before, we never fail to mention NY or LA. And it was surreal even when we’ve arrived in the city already, it took me few days to take it all in because my first thought was, “How would I be able to visit every place I wanted to see and squeeze it in just a few days?” Ha! But we did. Almost, I think?

USA | HI Washington, District of Columbia

After almost two days of flying from Manila to Hongkong to Vancouver to Montreal, finally arrived on our first stop and capital city of the United States – Washington, District of Columbia! I was very excited to get the much-needed rest and at the same time eager to finally get to see around the city which is home to all three branches of the federal government, as well as the White House, the Supreme Court and the Capitol Building.

Singapore | Gardens by the Bay

Your Singapore trip is not complete without visiting Gardens by the Bay. Well, at least, for me it is. And we did not regret making it a highlight on the second day of our trip. In fact, our estimated time of spending half day there was not enough!

Singapore | Swissotel The Stamford

Unbelievably, it is my first time to visit Singapore last January of this year. I was quite excited to see those photos I have been seeing for years now in my feed and some old faces who are now working there. Good thing, we found a place that is strategically at the heart of Singapore near to the shopping, business/entertainments districts and famous landmarks such as the Merlion and Gardens by the Bay.

Romblon | The Beach House, Carabao Island

Fresh from the memories of Tablas Island, I moved on to my next destination in mind – Carabao Island. See I have been to Kalibo and Caticlan several times, but it never occurred to me how near it actually is to Carabao Island, 45 minutes from Caticlan to be exact. The island maybe classified in a different province, but it has lots of similarity with the beauty Boracay has to offer, only untouched and more idyllic.

Badi'ah Hotel Brunei Darussalam

Arrived on the Saturday evening's red-eye flight in Brunei, I was fetched by a Badi'ah Hotel’s staff at the airport which is very much helpful for a smooth transit since cabs in Brunei are rare and quite expensive. I was booked on Times Hotel, Badi'ah’s sister hotel, on the very first night due to full capacity in Badi'ah. Good thing it was just around 10 to 15 minutes away from the airport.

Rainy season has long started and unwinding in the metro is what I am leaning for these days, after a seemingly long work-week. To relax and plan for future travel plans with friends is made possible last September in the city where my career started. A new staycation hub has soft-opened last April and I was glad to be able to finally visit the largest and newest addition to one of the Seda Hotels in the country – Seda Vertis North.

We were supposed to fly from Penang, four days after staying at Langkawi. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I decided to extend a little bit and canceled my previously booked flight. Hence, we arrived in Penang through availing the next possible transportation there is -- fast craft. It was a Thursday afternoon, the sun was already setting around 7 in the evening, when we hailed a cab to Leisure Cove which took around 20 minutes drive from the port.
