A Weekend at Chateau Royale Batangas

I’ve got to admit: writing about travel during this weather is pretty hard. The rain and the cold is welcome after several months of torturous heat but it’s also uninspiring to talk about pools and outdoor activities when all you want to do is drink hot cocoa and sleep.

To Hell(fire) and back with Wingman

My relationship with wings is rather complicated. I love the gentle spice of the classic buffalo and I could probably eat a dozen (or more) all by myself but I'm hardly ever adventurous with the spicier variations. Just watching my friends take on mouth-burning food makes me cringe! However, love (for wings) will always win …

5 Things to do in Cebu

  A recent visit to Cebu has got me reeling in travel feels of incomprehensible amounts. I love Cebu! Seriously! After having gotten back to Manila, I was already planning a return trip in my head.

Review: Locavore

But good food is good food, regardless of whatever inspiration and Locavore food is good. The best part is that everything remains very local, very Pinoy.
