One of the mindfulness exercises that I do whenever I visit our youngest sister’s house in Malate is seaside walking along Roxas Boulevard. I also intend to conclude it with the same activity on Mall of Asia’s Seaside. The latter is still a part of the boulevard stretch and is a relatively new spot to…

The Seven Wonders of AlUla
One of the mainstream destinations that Saudi Arabia has offered, since opening its doors, to visitors from all over the world in September 2019 was AlUla. From then on, then AlUla has become a household word when it comes to the best places in Saudi Arabia because of its landscape that are like made from…
Rain Gain Story
I was already in the middle of the journey to a badminton court in Sulaymaniyah at around 12:00 PM on a drizzly Saturday when messages started popping up on the watch. My focus was on road safety because of rerouting from several flooded areas, but I was able to spot clues about the queuing‘s cancellation…
Introducing Pasacao’s Rustic Wonders via Sariana Beach Resort Gate 6
The first time I visited the town of Pasacao in Camarines Sur was in 2009. I was too busy catching with my then little, fat Brad so taking pictures wasn’t really something I intended to do but enjoy the eldest son’s first swimming experience. The memories from that day are still vivid in my memory….
23 Pictures of Mundane Magic in Riyadh
I don’t and I never considered myself a photographer. I often hear from friends though that I have a penchant for evoking strong feelings with the mundane things I photograph with a camera phone. That when I marry them with a story on a post, they engaged with them more. For the most part, the…

I pointed that out to clarify the confusion that has slightly shaken the sport headlines about the event, subsequently. There were more…
Adventure Travel with the Teens in DC Comics’ Nanda Parbat Equivalent in Camarines Sur
Sunshine; the boscage of vibrant green trees; birds perching and cantillating on twigs; wading through mud; hiking for hours….then there we go….DC Comics’ Nanda Parbat equivalent of Camarines Sur. And, once again, I and the family are at our favorite place. I grew up near the river. This ties my affinity up to the beach…
Wellness Practice: The Other “Cut” of the Regimen
It all started when I and my grandparents went into a carnival for the town’s patronal fiesta. It was during this time that sellers (of probably all sorts) of kiddie and hippie knickknacks—ranging from toy cars, toy guns, plastic balloons, rubber bands, yoyos, etc. to bangles, rings, stainless necklaces, crystal pendants, and whatnots—are ubiquitous. I…
“Cling On To The Tagline” is the Mantra
It took approximately five years before I came up with a tagline for this blog and the other social media platforms. Looking back at how I desperately wanted to make it big in the blogging field, influencing world as a whole, by going after mainstream destinations, I couldn’t help but smile at this point. I…
