Naidi Lighthouse in Basco, Batanes

I was thinking that our Boracay honeymoon 2 months ago was a bit short that was why when the opportunity came for us to visit Batanes we delightedly said yes for a second honeymoon. Batanes is one of my dream destinations and I was very happy to have it arranged by Wakay  Travel and Tours, a Batanes based tour service provider.

Note: We traveled here on December, which is winter season in Batanes.

Here is how our flight went.

3:21 AM Arrival at NAIA Terminal 4

We arrived at NAIA Terminal 4 for our flight with AirSWIFT. Checked in. Dropped off our luggage. We were given a sticker which would make their staff in the predeparture area know that we are riding with AirSWIFT.

Our flight departure time was 5:15 AM from Manila to Basco, Batanes.

8 Challenges you will face in Art in Island at Cubao, Quezon City

112 Comments

We visited Art in Island last and this became one of my favorite places in the Metro Manila. It’s actually a museum, but not like your usual museum, it features 3D art where you are allowed to touch it, feel it and many times you can do crazy poses with the art. Interaction and picture taking is a must.

It was challenging too, as there were around 200 persons inside when we visited according to their staff.

The art is colorful and the size of it is amazing but what I really like about Art in Island is that I had to force myself to be creative.

Here are challenges that you might encounter on your visit to Art in Island.

Gerry’s Jeepney in Maginhawa Street, Quezon City

1 Comment

A friend of mine was visiting and wanted to eat at Maginhawa Street in Quezon City. The problem is I do not know where to eat there! Luckily, I was at SparkLab Innovation Center and asked friends on where to eat good Filipino food in Maginhawa. One of them suggested Gerry’s Jeepney and two other’s agreed with an exclamation point. Therefore, we dined at Gerry’s Jeepney.

If you're looking for good Filipino food I highly recommend Gerry's Jeepney in Maginhawa.

Getting to Gerry’s Jeepney

From Sparklab Innovation Center we went to the line of tricycles and told the driver to drop us off at Gerry’s Jeepney. After around 5 minutes he dropped us off at Gerry’s Jeepney and asked for the fare of 18 Pesos for 2 persons.

I did not do any research prior to our visit at Gerry’s Jeepney that’s why I was surprised to see jeepneys as dining areas. Though jeepneys for me symbolizes public transporation that goes through traffic and sometimes crazy drivers, this one has a fun vibe. A good environment for family and friends to get together.

Pacsafe Store at Glorietta 5, Makati City

I was a victim of having my phone stolen from my bag during a jeepney ride. It was one of those events that I do not want to experience again. The lost contact numbers and messages and some important memories through photos were gone instantly and bitterly. I was lucky that I do not have an emergency that time. But what if losing something inside my bag means losing time to process getting new IDs, bank cards or losing your job or much worse. These what ifs are my reason why I love Pacsafe products, because they care for you and your belongings. With their products I can #GoFearless during my travels and daily commutes.

I was really happy when I learned that Pacsafe opened their store in Glorietta 5, Makati City. I usually see their products in shops mixed with other brands but this is the first time I saw a store dedicated only to their bags and accessories. In fact this is their first store in the world!

I was surprised how diversified their products are. They have products for urban setting, adventure travelers and for leisure.
