Luang Prabang is still fresh in my mind even if it has been almost two months now since we went there. When I reminisce about our trip, what comes to mind other than its beautiful Buddhist temples is the dramatic sunset view of the Mekong River. We stayed in Luang Prabang for four days at… Continue reading Highlights of Luang Prabang

Barcelona Trip Highlights
First blog for 2023, and I’m writing about our trip last September to Barcelona, Spain.

Makati Food Adventure – Part 2
The last five weeks had been quite hectic at work, but D and I made sure to make time to try out something new within our city as our way of unwinding.

Manila Staycation – Part II
During our recent staycation in the Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Manila, D and I grabbed the chance to explore the walled city of Intramuros more.

Manila Staycation Part I
We took a break from our usual rustic weekend getaways and headed to Sofitel Philippine Plaza at Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

Heritage Houses in Sariaya, Quezon

Back when I was in the university, I commuted a couple of times to some municipalities in Quezon to conduct research for my thesis, where I interviewed farmers for my data. I’ve always been keen on going back to have a proper… Continue reading Heritage Houses in Sariaya, Quezon

It was built in the late 1930s, and was originally a seaside two-storey building. Its first owners were Don Antonio Melian y Pavia, and Dona Margarita Melian y Zobel de Ayala. The Battle of Manila… Continue reading Palacio De Memoria
