Love The Philippines 2023: Antique




I’m feeling unusually tired today, and honestly, I have no idea how to begin this blog post. So, I’ll just start with a question: Do you have friends? The kind you truly know? And if you had to choose, would you rather keep a small, close-knit circle—or be part of a bigger, wider one?


As for me, yes, I do have friends—though not as many as others. And it’s true: as you get older, you tend to prefer a smaller circle, one where you feel aligned in values and life goals. Over time, I’ve outgrown some friendships, and I’ve come to accept that—it’s just part of life. There are also friends I’ve gotten to know more deeply along the way, and that kind of growth feels just as natural.


My advice to the young ones: enjoy the stage of life where you meet all kinds of people. Some will become true friends, while others might remain just acquaintances. Don’t feel pressured to please everyone just to make friends—let connections grow naturally and authentically.


Talking about friends, I’m grateful to have friends scattered across the country—in different provinces where you’re always welcome to visit. One memorable experience was back in 2022 during the pandemic, when most of us were working from home. A friend invited me and another friend to visit their province, Antique. It took us months to prepare, but in the end, everything went smoothly and it turned out to be an unforgettable trip.

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...

First Time Abroad: Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020 - Kota Kinabalu - Sabah

Hello, Super Folks ! Welcome back to my blog! How are you today? Well, whether you tell it or not, I know, most of us are not okay. Many are anxious, lonely and depressed. I'd like to say, if you don't feel fine, that's normal and valid. It's also understandable. Because of this COVID-19 pandemic, many are now getting emotional and struggling to stay sane. Without a doubt, the world has mental health crisis too and it's extremely concerning. We must address it and we also need to flatten this "other" curve. Praying like sharing to God your worries, reading new book, learning new language, avoiding toxic news on social media, learning how to plant, painting and doing yoga. These are only few examples that we can do daily or frequently to feel better. In addition, to somehow escape from the prison of negative or overthinking. Remember this, " whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, wh...
