Okay, so I just read an article about this thing about wearing a”second look”
for bridesmaids in the bridal party. The rationale behind is that if the bride can do

Two nights ago, I and my friend Karen went to
Solaire Theatre to catch the West End production of Mamma Mia
Ask me to name the most beautiful building I’ve been to in Paris
and without a doubt for me it’s the Palais Garnier or simply known as the Opera.
Paris is always a good idea.
One of my favourite #CakesinEurope experience
I can still remember the first time I felt this. January 2016,
the company booked an early morning Malaysian Airlines flight...
Whenever I imagine that I may have landed in Warsaw instead of Prague from Vienna
(if not for a group of Filipinos I talked to in the train who told me we’re supposed to transfer ...
Arriving in our hotel in Luxor on our 4th day in Egypt, the surroundings made me flashback to a certain location in Jakarta. Carol, on the other hand, thought she was back in Jaipur. You get the drift right? It was not immediately visible why this city that takes after the Arabic word for “palaces”…
So the Luxor post never happened. Lol. But atleast there’s a weekly list of readings for you and pics from my anything-kind-of-green obsession lately. 😉🍏 Check it out. Sustainability. The littlest way we can help reduce single use plastic is in grocery shopping. Check out this article here. ♻️ Cooking. Oookaaay, I gained 3kgs in my measures…
It’s no secret that when Meghan Markle steps out, the whole world watches to check out her style. There’s just something about her ensemble choices that “revolutionizes” royal dressing and we’re all here for it. But since we all expect to see less appearance of the Duchess’ for a while postpartum, it’s good thing that…
Held off posting these photos as it didn’t seem appropriate to be flaunted during the election day when they were taken (does it make any difference though if they made it in the stories?🤷 ) I mean, I wasn’t spared a day by the government just to relax somewhere (Sorry, just trying to be morally…
If ever Wes Anderson, master of visual storytelling, was to pick a temple in Egypt, Kom ombo would no doubt be the winner. Situated on a promontory on the banks of the Nile built to overlook the river, this Ptolemaic temple would pass the director’s knack for symmetry. It has two each of the traditional…
‘Welcome to Alaska.’ At first I thought this greeting I heard from our boatman was a joke about the chilly temperature we were having that day. We were cruising the Nile on a felucca, it was around 11-13 °C and already I was anxious about making it through the overnight boat camping with just my…
Yep, still trying my very best to make this a weekly feature #thestruggleisreal but nevertheless, here’s my list of recommended readings for your weekend. Enjoy Book. New category over here but pretty much explains the slow posts lately. What with the recent Egypt trip, I’ve decided to inject some detective fiction book in my reading…
Perhaps no experience taught me better about Egypt than that of riding the overnight bus from Cairo to Aswan. A little before 6am, I was awakened to a view of a sunrise in most probably Saharan desert (?*) Most of the people in the bus were still asleep but a quick inspection of the highway…
When a friend learned that I was traveling in Egypt, his first reaction was, “Why?” Understanding that this question stems from a lot of unfamiliarity or a general concern, I suppressed my initial response. Most of my friends though would often talk about it being their dream/ must-see destination and I’m here to give that…
A record-breaking heat index temperature of 42 °C hitting Manila recently 🔥🔥🔥 means it’s already time for summer escapades in the Philippines. 🏝 According to PAG-ASA, indices in this range is considered “dangerous”, meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely, and heat stroke is probable with continued activity. Soooo… If you’re like me who’s having…
