When I first visited Singapore in 2002, I did nothing but drink beer. I didn’t really like the vibe of the city so I never came back. Then a few months ago, I made a decision to re-visit Singapore with a more open mind and heart. And I’m glad I did. I enjoyed every minute … Continue reading »
My niece Joanna is a nomad by heart. Like me, she has ventured on budget trips and backpacking adventures that would always leave her mom asking why.

As we delve more into the idea of buying the “Round The World” or … Continue reading »
I’ve been in and out of the doctor’s office for the past few weeks. It hasn’t been easy, especially being diagnosed with a heart-related condition called “Mitral Valve Prolapse”. It is far from being terminal, but it has to be monitored to prevent it from reaching the “severe” stage which may require surgery or lead … Continue reading »
I’ve always wanted to visit the WhiteMoon Bar at the Manila Ocean Park. I heard pretty good things about it when it first opened.
