Candylicious

Anyone who knows us knows that we LOVE sweets. Candies, chocolate - you name it, we'll eat it.

Literally a kid in a candy store

It goes without saying that Candylicious was HEAVEN for us.

S.E.A. Aquarium

One of the places we really wanted to visit was the S.E.A Aquarium - the world's second largest aquarium.

Haji Lane

One of the places we've been, to that has been our absolute favorite, is Pub Street in Cambodia.

Haji Lane is Singapore's version of Pub Street.

Caramoan islands

Easily one of the most beautiful (and most underrated) destinations in the Philippines is Caramoan.

Minalahos island

What we wish we knew before we went to Ilocos

Did a guest post for our friend Karla's blog series.

Head on over to What I wish I Knew Before I went to Ilocos, Philippines to read all about it!

Laiya

Living in Manila, we've always considered ourselves lucky that beautiful beaches are just a drive away.

Beach lovin'.

Dreamplay

Thanks to Cholo's cousin, a few months ago we were given the chance to see what Dreamplay was all about before it opened to the public.

Tagaytay trips for us usually mean = staying in for movie marathons, lunches and dinners out at Pamana and Hawaiian BBQ, and basically just a chance to take a breather and escape from work/Manila traffic/reality.

This particular trip was a whole lot different though.

Zipline at the Picnic Grove

Manila Eats: Chocolate Buffet at The Pen

There are only 68 days left 'til Christmas! It kind of feels like 2015 just started, and now we're down to the last few months of the years. It's crazy how time flies.

Aside from our birthdays and anniversary, Christmas is our favorite holiday. It's so magical how everything seems extra happy around Christmastime. We get to spend more time with our families, balikbayans come home, we see our friends more, and its also another opportunity for us to show each other how much we care ♥

Christmas at The Pen

Enchanted Kingdom

One of the (if not the only) amusement parks in the Philippines is Enchanted Kingdom, which opened in 1995 and is located in Santa Rosa, Laguna - about an hour's drive away from Manila.

The Mind Museum

One of our best friends used to work at The Mind Museum, and we decided to show our support and pay her a visit.

Manila Eats: Chef Laudico Guevarra's

Seeing this restaurant from the outside got us all excited for what was to come.

Pinto Art Museum

Back in January, we had days off of work and out of curiosity, we decided to finally pay a visit to Pinto.

Our Travel Must Haves

If I had my way, I'd bring the contents of my entire closet with me on every trip.

Our luggage on our 2010 Bangkok trip

As with most couples, one of the things Cholo and I disagree on every time we travel is the amount of suitcases/items I bring (and whether or not I really do need all of it). My logic has always been that you never really know what you'll need, and it's always better to be prepared. I would say it's a losing battle on his end though, as I always end up getting my way (and also end up using his baggage allowance allocation hehehe).
