Spending Christmas

Christmas with family is the best wherever you are, as long as you can celebrate it with the people who really mean a lot to you, Christmas will always be merry.




I am blessed enough because despite being unable to go home for Christmas, my family had the chance to visit me and we had the chance to celebrate it all together. And this year's celebrations are the best because we had visited different places,.







Home isn't inside the house, home is with the people you loved the most._kenny đź–¤

Discovering the Heart of Cambodia: A Journey of Awe and Simplicity.

Image
This year, I traveled to four Asian countries, but Cambodia stood out to me the most. The trip was a humbling experience for many reasons. first Cambodian beer I was deeply touched by the kindness of the Cambodian people. Their lives are simple, yet they radiate happiness. Their smiles and eagerness to help guests made me feel so welcome. with the tour guide, Sambo. One of the most memorable parts of my trip was a boat ride on Tonle Sap Lake (belonging to the Mekong River system). Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. Having lunch at a floating restaurant was a unique experience and watching crocodiles being fed was both exciting and a bit scary. Visiting the temples in Cambodia felt like stepping back in time. Angkor Wat, one of the largest temples in the world, was truly impressive. However, the Ta Prohm temple left me amazed. Seeing the tree roots over the stones of the temple was unbelievable, like something out of the movie. Another unforgettable experience w...

First time in Palawan | December 2023

Image
Before, when I thought of Palawan, I imagined paradise—beautiful white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, dramatic limestone cliffs, and nature untouched by time. It has always been one of those dream destinations I kept in the back of my mind, hoping that one day I’d get the chance to experience it. That "one day" finally came in December 2023. (bf took this photo early in the morning outside our resort room at The Nest El Nido Beach Resort.) I was lucky enough to set foot in Palawan for the first time, and it was everything I imagined—and more. From the moment I arrived, we were greeted by warm smiles, fresh sea breezes, and an overwhelming sense of calm. I took lots of photos and videos to capture every moment, every breathtaking view, and every small detail that made the experience unforgettable. (Sabang, Puerto Princesa, Palawan) We explored some of the most well-known destinations. Although some of them are closed because of the weather conditions, like the famous U...

A Heartfelt Message to My Best Friend, Dayana!

Image
For Dayana, with love.   My dearest Dayana, Meeting you in 2019 feels just like yesterday. I still remember the first time I saw you— in our dressmaking class, wearing that light blue striped polo dress, your short hair, your quiet, shy presence. Something in me said, “I want her to be my friend.” I befriended your friends  (our classmates) first  to get closer to you. And when we finally clicked, it felt so easy. Milk tea dates after class—though I didn’t even like milk tea at first. (It hurt my tummy, remember?) It was you who introduced it to me. We were in sync, sometimes even unknowingly twinning our outfits— like some kind of telepathy in styles. Then the pandemic hit, and life stretched the distance. Four years apart. But when we finally saw each other again, nothing had changed. We travelled, and besides Hermann, you are my best travel buddy. Sometimes we had weird trips that fit each other's souls. swam in the shallow waters of Lapu-Lapu, partied in Cebu City, ...

The Wonders of Albay's Heart

Image
There's something truly magical about Albay, a place that feels like it beats with its own rhythm. Settled in the Bicol Region of the Philippines, Albay is more than just a destination, it's an experience. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, there's always something to discover, something to love, and something that will leave you in awe. At the heart of Albay is its most famous gem: Mayon Volcano. Known for its perfect cone shape, Mayon is not just a stunning sight,  it is a symbol of  Albay's beauty and resilience. Seeing it in person is like stepping into a postcard. On clear days, the volcano stands tall against a bright blue sky, a picture of perfection. But even when clouds drift around its peak, an air of mystery makes you want to keep staring. For me, it's more than just a landmark, it's a reminder of nature's incredible power and artistry. And let's not forget the food! If you visit Albay, you have to try their famous Bicol Express....
