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
it, why can’t the bridesmaids? Right?
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 ...
‘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…
Merhaba! Welcome to my first Egypt travel entry on the blog. My friend Carol and I were having a hard time deciding where to go for our first trip together (see this post), but luckily we found a sweet spot in Egypt when Expat Explore threw us a very good coach tour deal last November….
Arriving at Solaire’s theatre atleast half an hour early, I could already feel the excitement pulsing through me. Perhaps it’s the phantom’s spell working on me? (It’s a mystery never fully explained. Hehe) Or perhaps it’s the thrill of seeing a musical that’s set in my beloved city. Based on a French novel that’s also…
It’s the first weekend after being back from Egypt and it looks like I won’t be getting my much needed rest. The calendar is still full of activities as I have participated in a dog run and bought a theatre ticket this weekend. Don’t worry guys; I’m safekeeping all the things I learned and saw…
I first heard about Intermittent Fasting (IF) from my good friend Karen last year and though I was totally convinced about its effects, I didn’t see the need to subject myself to the diet. As a healthy eater who loves to eat (lol!), starving myself to good food was just unthinkable then. About three weeks…
As I stare at the wooden relief that depicts the flight of the Winter King (Frederick of the Palatinate) inside the Prague Castle, the realization dawns on me on what makes this city special. This very scene that was carved around 1630 is not far from the bird’s eye view of the Old Town when…
