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 ...
On my own I wouldn’t probably include a trip to a cemetery in my itinerary (on my first weekend in Paris nonetheless!) but my French friend Guill thought this was a good idea and so that Saturday we went to Père Lachaise cemetery in the 20th arrondissement. And it’s safe to say, it’s the first…
A hopeless romantic, I admit I’m one of those girls who still dreams of meeting someone special while traveling on a train after watching Before Sunrise. In my recent #CakesinEurope adventure, I had the chance to ride a train solo from Vienna to Prague where my multi-city coach tour would start. As I sit across…
As I accept the payment for a branded top that was barely used for a small amount, I told myself “that will teach you to consider your purchases carefully next time, Cakes” About two weeks ago, a friend invited me to hold a garage sale somewhere in Marikina. A self-professed hoarder with passion for anything…
Maybe someday the format of year-end looks recap may change but since I could still pick 18 faves from this year, let’s just stick to the current format. I’d like to think I was pretty much consistent with my aesthetic and that is staying ladylike all throughout the year but since most of the favorites…
Though it’d be personally unacceptable for me to plan only one day in Paris, things like this happen in life and frankly, I’d take this chance than not having to see my favourite city again at all. But for those travelling with just 24 hrs to see the City of Lights for the first time,…
Paris, from above, is a flat city, all thanks to Baron Haussmann’s strict rules about the height of apartments all the way back from the 1800s. But here and there, its gorgeous skyline with zinc-clad rooftops is punctuated by different iconic structures that make for an interesting panorama. It’s not enough to see these structures…
To be honest there are still times when I wash my face at night and in total disbelief that I feel no bumps at all, I have to go to the mirror and check if it’s really real. Last year in Paris, I took several selfies with the Eiffel tower that I couldn’t bear to…
When I posted pictures in this city in Germany, I got a message from a Facebook friend (a co-hostel dweller last year in Paris) asking how I enjoyed the place. It turns out that he stayed here for his university degree. That this place is a university town is something that was not mentioned during…
I’m probably not the best person qualified to talk about this topic but that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna stop trying. Everytime you see a news article in social media about waste management and plastic pollution (think: whales being washed up on the ocean dying from plastic ingestion, hidden areas of beautiful islands exposing mountains…
One of the many questions I get whenever I post pictures of my solo travels is, who took your photo? In last post’s topic of doing DIY vs joining a group tour, this problem definitely falls to the cons of doing a DIY trip. It is a disadvantage yes, but one that can’t be overcome….
