Family friendly Beach Resort in Zambales: Capones Vista Beach Resort

I initially thought of going to Baguio for a quick road trip, but my family wanted to go to the beach. Since they assigned me to take care of resort booking, I chose my default beach destination - Zambales.

Coco and Toffee: MacBook Accessories Online Seller

I love my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2011) even though it’s pretty heavy to carry around. Admittedly, it will take a while for me to buy an updated unit. As you know, Macbook costs almost twice as much as your regular Windows laptop. I have to save up big time!

Affordable Luggage Covers

Keeping track of my luggage after a flight gives me a sense of stress. When the luggage conveyor belt at the airport starts moving and the bags start to come out, I always have this feeling that someone might accidentally claim my luggage or worst stole it. That’s why whenever I travel, I always make sure that I put on a luggage tag. Also, I tie a nice colorful ribbon around its handle so I can quickly spot my luggage. 

Mt. Pigingan Dayhike (Conquering the Hanging Bridge)

Not for the first-time hikers. It’s a warning. I knew it’s going to be a long hike, but I never realized how arduous it’s going to be. Mt. Pigingan is not your ordinary day hike activity. Ask my badly bruised toenails (still oddly purple-ish as of this writing) 😐

Mt. Sawi, Nueva Ecijia

Warning. This is a broken slash bitter story. Indeed a "sawi" experience in Mt. Sawi. (Ha ha)

Rain was drifting when we arrived at Malinao Elementary School, Gabaldon, Nueva Ecijia. It was 4:00 AM, the school was closed (as expected) and surrounding was eerie dark. While most of my companions including my husband were busy going around the vicinity to locate the registration area, I couldn't stop thinking about travel horror stories. I was honestly freaking out deep inside.

What To Wear and Bring for a Day Hike

I take day hiking seriously. I always believe that each mountain has its own charm and uniqueness. Thus, the hiking experience is different from the others. Some may find Mt. Pulag an easy climb, but to others it may be a gruelling experience. The key thing here is that one must prepare in order to survive the hike.

Where to Eat in Sagada

Finding something to eat in Sagada is a walk in the park. There are karinderyas and restaurants that will definitely satisfy your craving. What I like about Sagada is the absence of commercial fast food restaurants. Locals would have the opportunity to put up food business, which is a good source of income. It's also a great way to showcase Sagada's culinary heritage.
