DIY Wedding Preparations

Planning a wedding budget is a very challenging task especially if the couple has limited financial resources. I don't want to say this but, money speaks volume in the wedding industry nowadays. Every move demands certain cost.

Wedding Suppliers Review

I can't believe I am actually doing a review one year after our big day. Elbert and I have been extremely busy (and lazy) since we got married. There's just too many things to be mindful of. Of course there's this thing they call "adjustment stage", from being single to being married. I bet rookie couples can agree on that.

Marinduque Island

I didn't know that Marinduque is the heart of the Philippines. (Please don't judge me!) I've been wanting to visit this province to experience Moriones Festival. But I figured that it's not going to be an easy journey as Moriones is observed during Lenten break. I can just imagine the huge crowd, the Manila traffic and the scorching heat of the summer. Medyo hardcore ýun, mga besh!

Mt. Cayabu and Mt. Maynuba Traverse Hike

Alarm. 3AM. Shucks! Parang kakatulog ko pa lang! Must be at Cogeo Gate 2 at 4AM! 

Hike bag. Check.
Camera. Check.
Cash. Check.

Okay na. Gusto ko pa sanang mag-kape kaso parang late na.

Taxiiiiiii!!!

Time check - 3:30AM. "Manong, Gate 2 Cogeo, po."  In less than 20 minutes, pag-gising ko, Gate 2 na. Astig! I hope traveling to work is like this.

Sagada Bound

My vision was terribly spinning as Coda (Bus) Lines traversed the narrow and zigzag road to Sagada. It nearly had me sick to be honest. But for all it’s worth, Sagada is indeed one of the many wonderful mountainous places in the Philippines I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again even it would costs me 11 hours bus travel. Aside from the fact that the place is indeed close to nature, Sagada preserves its rich culture and old tradition thus making it one of the top tourist destinations in the Mt. Province.

Exciting Dishes in Korea

Travel backlog alert! Korea 2015 :) Elbert and I stayed there for a week, thus it's the longest travel Elbert and I did so far. We were there in the first week of April - perfect timing for spring season! And, spring season in Korea means da...da...da...daaaaa....cherry blossoms! Yes, we had a lot of that (medjo naumay na nga ako nuon lol).

Truly sorry for not being able to respond to your queries/comments. Work has been stealing my clock and I couldn't find ample time to blog. My travel photos for the last two months are no where to be found. I don't even remember where the hell I placed my SD cards. Kaloka. 

So...well...lemme see...okay..

I am actually lost for words as I write this down. I am stressed yet thrilled. Nervous yet hopeful. Okay fine. Sige na. Sasabihin ko na. I am getting married on April next year. And who's the unfortunate soul (weh)? Of course, my travel bud, Elbert.

Elbert proposed in October last year when we were in Bangkok. It was very unexpected. It didn't occur to me that the proposal would come a little early that I expected.

So this means we have to refrain from travelling as we need to save up for the "big day". Thus, we need to juggle work, personal errands and wedding preps. That also means blogging would be a least priority.. for now.

I will try my best to drop a line given a time.

Love much,
