Our travel agency in Coron booked us in R2R Bayview Inn. While we had no complaints about the inn’s location and restaurant menu, the room given us was musty and dated. We could have ignored these but the room also lacked proper window locks, closet, and bed. We paid P8,300 for our 4D/3N tour package, so […]

Fabulous Five Books that I was Thrilled to Read
Okay, I’m no high fantasy fiction fan. I haven’t even read Harry Potter completely. But as soon as I read the first few pages of Brandon Sanderson’s books, The Way of Kings and Mistborn, I was hooked. Who wouldn’t? It’s crazy that anyone can through adolescence and adulthood without an experience of Sanderson’s well-crafted worlds. […]
Hotel Review: Main Hotel and Suites
Main Hotel and Suites Cebu did not invite me to promote their property. I booked through Agoda and paid only PHP 1,434.52 for my stay (bed & breakfast for two). Fantastic deal, eh? This time, I wouldn’t say it was an accident but a deliberate choice. Main Hotel and Suites Cebu Booking Details: Room 603 | Check […]
Review: Red Planet Hotel Cebu
Red Planet Hotel Cebu did not invite me to promote their property. I did pay for my stay. It was a funny booking accident on Agoda that brought me here. It happened last Saturday while I was sleepily scrolling their website for a hotel to crash – just for a mental wellness break. Luckily, it […]

Review: 13 Reasons Why
“13 Reasons Why” is perfect for Netflix. I can’t imagine waiting a week to find out who is in Hannah Baker’s next tape. That would have been agonizing. There were 13 of them. And each tape contained a reason why she decided to end her life. Nothing can prepare you for the flood of emotions […]

Talks of Travels and Wedding Bells at 32 Umber Cafe & Co.
I’ve long wanted to ask this, “What’s the inspiration behind 32 Umber’s design?” Every time I pass by this boxy coffeehouse near Grand Convention Center (Cebu), it makes me take a double take. Seriously, always. So one day, I finally gave in to my curiosity and checked out what this space has to offer. The Coffee Haunt with […]
Fab Five: The Last 5 Books I Was Thrilled to Read
Hey, guys. I’d like to share with you the last five books that I thoroughly enjoyed. I have a simple rule about choosing what to read: I need to enjoy them. If I don’t get hooked during the first few pages, I’ll stop. It’s not like school where you have to force yourself to read a book […]
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
‘You haven’t seen the movie?’ the Rom-Com fanatic boyfriend asked. ‘Nope, I was busy.’ The action movie fan replied. (Yes, that’s me.) And then I continued reading the chick lit (lit, by the way, is a French word for ‘read‘). Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is a piece of literature you won’t find on the ultimate list of […]
