10th Friendship Anniversary with Milky

-

It was in 2016 when Milky and I met in Surigao City, introduced by common acquaintances. I didn't expect we would click. 

I think it was because of the common interests we shared, such as books, coffee, coffee shops, and a love for taking pictures, that we got along well.

We lived under one roof, shared meals, and visited coffee shops and tourist spots around the city together. But we don't have deep conversations.

But I can say that our true closeness only began when we reunited in 2023 after our lives went separate ways in 2019 (no contact until 2022).

Our walls came down, and we became more open, because this time we could freely share our heartaches, experiences, and so much more than before. 

We can talk for hours about life, love, or anything in between.

After that, we will make time to meet and hang out, visit new places, and try new foods/coffee shops.

In January 2026, we talked about how we met and were surprised that we've known each other for 10 years already. I even suggested that we should celebrate it, hehe.

And it is safe to say that this is the type of friendship where the heart remains, 
no matter the distance._kenny🖤

Cooking, Exploring, and Camiguin Memories

-

The PALAHUBOG crew went to Camiguin for 2 nights and 3 days, and it was a fun and very budget-friendly trip. (Old Church Ruins) I booked Marianita's Cottage for our accommodation. Based on our activities, this place was a good choice. One room had a sea view, and the other had a garden view and was slightly bigger. Best part? We could cook inside, which helped us save a lot on food. And of course, Teddy got to show off his chef skills, which made it even better. 😄 ( https://www.marianitas-cottages.com/) (the chef 👨‍🍳) We visited some of the island's well-known spots on our first day, like the  Old Church Ruins  (50.00 PHP entrance fee) and the   Sunken Cemetery (no entrance fee). Our dinner that night, plus breakfast the next morning, only cost us 172.00 PHP each. Super affordable and shared with laughter and good vibes. (twinning) The next day, we went on an island tour to Mantigue Island . The boat fee was just 750.00 PHP for all six of us, including the kids, Yana...

A Heartfelt Message to My Best Friend, Dayana!

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, ...

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...
