Pinay Travel at Bonifacio High Street

Bonifacio High Street Where Reunions Taste Like Laughter, and Remember When?

There are places you visit for the views.

Places you go for the food.

And then… there are places you return to, not for the architecture or the Instagram backdrops but for the people.

This was one of those moments.

Bonifacio High Street, Taguig, the open-air urban playground of BGC, with its mall alleys, twinkling string lights, and that just-right mix of chill and chic.

But for me? That day wasn’t about the place.

It was about the people.

My two ride-or-die best friends, my sisters-from-another-ship (literally) from my days at Marlow Navigation.

We hadn’t seen each other outside of work in months.

Since I left.

Since life pulled us in different directions.

But here we were, under the BGC skyline, walking at a sidewalk. This wasn’t just a meetup.

Book the café.

Block the calendar.

Wear the cute outfit you’ve been saving.

To my Marlow girls:

Thank you for showing up.

For remembering our moments.

For laughing at my terrible jokes.

For being my anchors, even when we’re miles apart.

Bonifacio High Street gave us the backdrop.

But you? You gave me the moment I will remember.

Powerpuff Corn in Baguio: A Night of Laughs, Lyrics, and Legendary Live Vibes at 18BC

Let’s set the scene:

Cool Baguio breeze. Twinkling café lights. The scent of pine and freshly baked ube pastries in the air.

And me? Sitting in a cozy, dimly lit bar called 18BC, sipping a local craft beer, totally unaware that I was about to witness one of the most unforgettably fun live perform.

My friend who’s basically their #1 stan, had been hyping them up for months.

I nodded politely.

I did not expect to become a fan by the end of the night.

Spoiler: I bought their CD. Got it signed too.

Girl Travel Weekend at Anawangin

 

Girl Travel Weekend at Anawangin

Sand, laughter, pine trees and pure chaos with my favorite humans!

I’ve been to Anawangin Cove before.

But this time? With my brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles. And let me tell you, Anawangin didn’t just welcome us… It threw us a party.

A warm, laughter-filled stopover at Limen Family Resort,shoutout to Ate Chubz family who prepared us a meal before going to Pundaquit.

Finally, the iconic boat ride from Pundaquit, salty wind in our hair, waves slapping the hull, and the first glimpse of those dreamy, pine-fringed shores on the horizon.

You can camp in here (responsibly) The night sky? Unreal! We pitched tents right here with other campers. The sound of waves, and a sky so packed with stars. We stayed up way too late.

Anawangin isn’t just a beach. It’s a whole damn ecosystem and we explored every inch of it.

The Beach - Soft, powdery, and wide enough for us to play and swim, and late-night bonfires under a sky.

The River - Crystal-clear, knee-deep water and we spent hours here taking pictures, exploring, walking while talking with cousins pretending we were in a Survivor challenge.

The Forest - Pine-scented, shady, we hiked through whispering trees, found hidden clearings perfect for picture taking.

The Mountain - Yes, we climbed it. All of us. The 360° view from the top? Beach on one side, forest on the other, ocean stretching forever. 

Anawangin didn’t just give us a beautiful backdrop.

It gave us moments. The kind you’ll still be remembering and laughing about at family reunions 20 years from now.

Girl Travel Tries Sky Walk Extreme

Girl Travel Tries Sky Walk Extreme

Skywalk Extreme is one of the attractions of the Sky Experience Adventures, an amusement park located in Cebu. It will give you the opportunity to walk on the edge of the tallest tower in the Philippines.

We got to experience walking around translucent glass flooring on the edge of the Crown Regency Hotel and Tower.

Nothing compares to the epic and breathtakingly experience of overlooking the city by riding the Edge Coaster!

Girl Travel Tries Bolinao Kayaking

Girl Travel Tries Bolinao Kayaking

Bags packed, playlist queued, snacks stocked, we pointed the car north and let the open road lead us to Bolinao, Pangasinan: the sleepy coastal gem we’d heard whispers about.

This isn’t just a beach resort. It’s a portal to a mangrove-lined, tree-canopied, “what-is-this-place?!” river that winds deep into the wild heart of Bolinao. And guess what? They let guests kayak through it.

We set off in bright plastic kayaks, laughing, splashing, taking selfies, total vacation vibes.

The river starts calm. Gentle. Sunlight dappling through the trees. Fish darting beneath us. Birds chirping like they’re narrating a nature documentary.

Turns out, hanging over the water were branches armed with nasty, needle-sharp thorns!

Scratches on our arms. Tiny cuts on our shoulders. And the biggest, most ridiculous grin on our faces.

We howled with laughter. Took several photos. And immediately volunteered to go next. Spoiler: We hugged the center of the river. Learned fast.

Girl Travel in Virgin Island

Girl Travel in Virgin Island

A Sun-Kissed, Salt-Sprayed, Barefoot Adventure Through Bohol’s Dreamy Slice of Paradise

After conquering Bohol’s land wonders, the Chocolate Hills, the tarsiers, the centuries-old churches, we knew it was time to trade our walking slippers for flip-flops, our sunscreen for cologne, and our land legs for sea legs.

We stayed for the vibes.Enter: Virgin Island, Bohol’s floating postcard, tidal magic trick, and Instagrammer’s ultimate playground.

Tucked between Panglao and Balicasag Island, Virgin Island is that rare kind of paradise that literally changes shape with the tide.

At low tide? A dazzling, crescent-shaped sandbar emerges blindingly white, powdery soft, stretching like a natural runway into the turquoise sea. We ran across it barefoot, squealing like kids, taking 800 photos per minute (no regrets).

At high tide? The sandbar disappears, swallowed by gentle waves, turning the island into a cozy, palm-fringed jewel surrounded by shallow, swimmable waters. And guess what? You can still walk through it, knee-deep in warm, crystal-clear ocean, fish darting around your ankles, laughter echoing over the waves.

It’s like nature’s own mood ring and we got to experience both sides.

We came for the sandbar.

Filipina Travel in Butterfly Garden

Filipina Travel in Butterfly Garden

Let me take you back to a trip that still lives rent-free in my heart, the kind of journey that didn’t just change my scenery… it changed me.

This was the trip where I:

✈️ Took my very first airplane ride, not solo, not scared, but laughing with my best friends beside me.

🚌 Survived the epic and slightly chaotic Cebu-to-Bohol land-and-sea odyssey complete with detours, ferry ride, and roadside and street breaks.

🌸 And finally… stepped into a living rainbow at the Bohol Butterfly Garden where time slowed, colors danced.

This wasn’t just a vacation.

This was my coming-of-age travel moment, messy, joyful, awe-filled, and utterly unforgettable.

Just a short drive from the famous Chocolate Hills, the Bohol Butterfly Garden is more than just an attraction, it’s a sanctuary. A living poem written in wings and sunlight.

As soon as we stepped inside, the air wrapped around us like a warm hug… and then flutter, flutter, flutter, butterflies. Floating like living confetti in every color imaginable, electric blue, sunset orange, emerald green, and wings so translucent they looked painted by fairies.

Not in a scary, “ahhh-get-it-off-me” way but gently. Curiously. Like they knew we were guests in their kingdom. We had them perched on our faces, hair, nose, shoulder, my friends capturing the moment like I’d just won an Oscar.

 Why this trip lives in my soul? It wasn’t just the butterflies.

It was the firsts.

The freedom.

The friendship.

I remember standing in the garden, surrounded by wings, thinking

This trip taught me that magic doesn’t need special effects.

Sometimes, it’s just a first flight.

A long van ride with your favorite people.

And a garden where butterflies land on your shoulders like whispered blessings.

Bohol, you beautiful, winged wonder and thank you for giving me a memory I’ll carry forever.

And to my friends who were there? Let’s never stop chasing butterflies, literal and metaphorical.

The world is still full of them.

And we’re just getting started.

Girl Travel in Tagaytay

Girl Travel in Tagaytay

Third-wheeling through wedding venues with my high school bestie! A tale of Taal Views, cake tastings and accidentally becoming the ultimate wing-woman.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to Tagaytay.

Weekend escapes? Check.

Soul-searching over hot chocolate and bulalo? Double check.

Midnight drives chasing cheesy pasalubong? Oh, you know it.

Taking a rest while driving going to our relatives in Batangas? Many  times!

But this trip?This trip was different.

This time, I wasn’t here for the views, the food, or even the Instagrammable clouds rolling over Taal Volcano.

I was here as the official third wheel, comfy shoes on feet, and heart full of chaotic joy helping my high school best friend and her fiancé scout the perfect wedding venue.

And spoiler alert, it was the most unexpectedly beautiful, hilarious, and heartwarming Tagaytay trip yet.

I got to see my best friend, the same girl I passed notes with in Math class and cried when we had to separate home room section, light up in a way I’ve never seen before. Not just happy. Radiant.

So yes, I’ve been to Tagaytay many times.

But this time? This time, I didn’t just visit.

I witnessed love being planned. Dreamed. Built.

And honestly?

I can’t wait to come back… as a guest. With better shoes. We’ll see.
