Things to know before getting started on Bumble during lockdown

Are you planning to jump in the hype of online dating while lockdown has not yet ended? If you do, these things might help you get started.

A travel to Marinduque during the lull season

Anyone can still enjoy Marinduque even though it is not Holy Week. In fact, it is even better to plan a trip to the island in times when tourists are less. Because that means more me-time to some attractions that this island has to offer.

For my 28th birthday, I planned for a birthday getaway in an island located in south-western Luzon - Marinduque. 

It was supposedly a trip for two but a friend of mine bailed out for personal reasons. Despite the loss of companion, I went on with it, besides, the trip had been long overdue already. Two years ago, I planned the same with another friend but, unfortunately, work got in the way so I wasn't able to go.

Why am I single?

With only a month away for my 28th birthday, I decided to write about the most pressing question I get the past years. Stalkers (as if I have) can go munching on this bit of a personal post I don't happen to write about that often. LOL

Love not hate (written two years ago)

How am I?

I don't know what has been happening to me. Has it been 4 years or 5 years? I've lost count. 

Travel to Taiwan: The Land of Meteor Garden and Milktea

If I visited this country ten years ago the purpose would be to rekindle my love for Meteor Garden (MG), which versions I have completed watching and the series that got me hooked on the whole Asian series shebang. People my age would definitely get what I mean. Hailed as the Queen of Asian drama, because it was what started it all in the Philippines, MG was a drug that people can't get enough of resulting for it to last for more than a decade. Honestly, I could still watch the whole series again and drool all over it - the only difference now is that, I'm older. And the whole teenage feels kind of sets me back from people younger than I am who would still look cute giggling and squealing. I feel like I need to forego those childlike acts now. LOL

Why I travel and how do I manage to

Whenever I meet people I know who might have seen my posts on Instagram, they ask about my travels and how I am capable of doing so. Sometimes they would ask me indirectly of how much money I make. I don't blame them for correlating traveling with money because it does require money. But the thing here is: It wouldn't have to require much if you're not a lavish or a picky traveler. As what other's say, the key is in saving and planning.

Rangoon Teahouse and why Yangon could be a place for milktea lovers

Food is what distinguishes one country from another. From street food to a typical household cooking, each country offers a different blend and taste that anyone shouldn't miss trying if they get to visit a place for the first time. Like many others, Asian countries have already established themselves globally when it comes to taste through their iconic dish. Among those are the Pad Thai and Tom Yam of Thailand, the Pho of Vietnam, the Nasi Lemak of Malaysia, and the Adobo of the Philippines. But I bet only few know of Burma's Mohinga (I prefer to call it by its old name since it sounds more lit hehe). 

Mohinga, a fish soup with rice noodles, is the national dish of Burma. Its main ingredients are fish paste, chickpea flour, lemongrass, ginger, fish sauce, and catfish broth. It is commonly garnished with coriander (see recipe). I have also seen a fried version of it at Yangon's street market.
