How Travel Changed My Life

Image
Buckle Up! Zoom! Hi! How are you? I hope you will enjoy this journey. Just call me Supermarkymacky! I'm your chauffeur for today. Let me take you back to the darkest days of my life and how travel became the only silver lining. Oops! No worries. I won't scare you. I will make sure it will be from bumpy to smooth ride. An inspiring trip to everyone. It was 2013 when I unintentionally became a breadwinner. I was the youngest child, just graduated and newbie in the corporate world. I felt that my dreams were fading fast away. My goals like to buy a house in my twenties, be a millionaire by the age of thirty and save a lot of money for retirement were dying. I didn't know what to do. I tried to refuse additional responsibilities many times. Depression started to control my emotions. Worries, insecurities and disappointments started to eat the whole me. If not overthinking, negative thinking became my pastime. My soul was divided and became a lonely man. "Surround...

Seven Sacred Manila Catholic Churches That You Can Visit Even After Holy Week

"Happy Easter to you too. They say it's a new beginning. Hopefully! God bless too!". That's what I replied to a caller before my last shift of the week ended when she said to enjoy the holiday. Oh Yes! Definitely because it's rest day mode again. How was your weekend? Last sunday was not really different to me and all I remember was coachella totally crashed instagram. Yeah! Congratulations for being part of it! Oops! Let me not forget that I also visited different churches in Manila for the second time around. It was last year when I did " Visita Iglesia " or Seven Churches Visitation and I never thought that this would happen again because of my busy work schedule. Like what I wrote on my previous article, religion really plays a vital role in the life of every Filipino. Admittedly, even before I'm not deeply religious and this is the main reason why I decided to do this again. It's my way to give praise to Him and continue pray for my...

Sunny Day Of Valor At Fort Santiago, Intramuros Manila

First of all I would like to say super thank you to  Upside Down Museum  and also to my friend who owns Lagaw Travelogue , a travel blog for reposting my previous article about the newest and off-the-wall attraction in Manila. That was a hit! For more than 2 years of blogging and continuous posting useful articles it was my first time to gain more than a thousand views in less than 24 hours. Wow! Maybe it could be just a piece of cake for bloggers who started very early in this industry but for me it was record-breaking and totally beyond my expectation. That feeling like you were floating on cloud nine did not lose right away but hey! I need to wake up and create another article. Okay! Challenge accepted! It was the 9th of April when I asked my sister to go with me in Intramuros Manila. My main plan was to visit Fort Santiago but since it was also Palm Sunday I decided to include Manila Cathedral on our Day Tour. A very sunny and hot weather welcomed us when we went ou...

Upside Down Museum Is The Newest Interactive And Off-The-Wall Museum In Manila

Hello April! Great news! I will be flying to Japan next week. Time to prepare and pack my things! Who else got pranked last April 1st? Too bad you're innocent. For sure you didn't miss hearing this from a friend or relative. This is just one of the pranks or fake news spread out mostly on social media when the first day of the month started. These hoaxes like your friend posted a pregnancy test with two positive lines on her facebook wall even if she's single, your favorite actor died in car crash or someone got robbed will surely trigger your gullible brain. So, be careful! Aside from academic graduation season in the Philippines, easter egg hunt and summer, this month will never be special without April fool's day. It's like a huge party popper to welcome the new month. Oh, wow! Time flies way too fast, I can't believe that we're done with the first quarter of the year. How are your new year's resolutions going? Well, I never created one, so I d...
