Stop waiting for others to celebrate you. Bask in every single moment of your accomplishments. You deserve to celebrate yourself. You have received these blessings because you deserve it.

Cheers to half a year journey in our student life. 💖
Ah too little time to explore Banff's hidden gem. Hoping to do some hiking next time.

I might have sustained a tiny frostbite from all these pictures 😬

Amazed by the autumn sunrise. No filter needed. Still not used to waking up in the dark, sun rises at 8am now, with fallen leaves making way for winter. 🍂

Stillness at Bow Lake is one of the breathtaking pit stops on the scenic loop to Banff located at Icefield Parkway. This view is just beside the highway, and there is no need to hike. Canadian rockies look majestic in a tranquil mirror-still like lake.

Happy to catch up some greens, blues and fall colors at Lake Louise before the all white winter snow covers all of Canada.

Today's weather: Fall & Frozen.

Always up for new adventures, challenges, and beginnings. Mid-life choices can be scary, getting out of a comfort zone, but at least I don't have to regret taking chances. ✨️

Pleaded guilty for illegal possession of dangerous mind and mischievous beauty 🤪

This Prison of IloIlo was converted to Western Visayas National Museum to showcase different local artists.

If I have to pick another country to live by, one of my top picks would be South Korea. It's beautiful in every season. I am fascinated with it's history, language, food, kdramas and skincare 💗 and yes, I get to dress up in and play my dream role of a lost princess at Gyeongbokgung Palace in a day. 👑

Did you know that dressing up in will get you free entrance to a number of historical sites in Seoul? Super fun experience.

Oita Art Museum is an open-air museum located 25 minutes uphill walk from Oita Station. There is no entrance fee, and you get to enjoy the 360 view of Oita skyline and pet friendly outdoor installations, including this massive 21 ft high elephant statue. Inside the museum are great collections of visual treats.

Morning walk at Fukuoka city. Can't miss out on this bright western-style architecture Red Brick Culture Centre Museum. Flowers blooming, almost ready for spring.

A little (Giant) adventure is always a good idea. Side trip island adventure from an Iloilo city tour.

Can you believe this is in the Philippines? 🙌

I feel Tita Small Laude's 😆 No matter how many times we've been commuting in Japan, the railway system is really confusing. Although the staff and people are helpful, the language barrier is real and a headache. My trick on this, go early, so early that you'll still have time for so many errors. And mind you guys, hindi madali to get around with big luggages. It can be tricky finding an elevator or escalator, mostly it's flight of stairs. I've been traumatized when we got in the station at peak hours, everyone were moving so fast 😳

Also another tip, stick to the platform and train schedule, there's a big chance that the earlier or next train won't stop at your destination. Like Rapid trains which skip some stations.

Save Siera Madre Mountain Range 🌄🌳🌿

Known as the Little Baguio in Negros Oriental, we can see why the tour in the municipality of Valencia is the spotlight when in Dumaguete. This tropical resort in the mountains, called Forest Camp is an epic escape to hot summer days. The lush jungle offers flowing, freezing cold waters from the mountains, distributed in strategic landscaped pools. We can't helped but raved and be chill about it. Pun intended. 😁

Highly recommended to take the local transport when exploring Philippine provinces. It's cheaper and a great help to our locals affected this pandemic. Double the fun and experience when you take a tricycle, multicab, motor boat and even a flying broom 😆

Fun fact: Siquijor is infamous for witchcraft so you know where I got the flying broom 🤣

My 2nd time in Bais and we were greeted with a bit cloudy day. Dolphins were feeding in a distant. Happy to see them even from afar. We enjoyed the island and as per fam bam review, most sulit food tour package. I came for the seafood, and they deliver. Tour booked with Randy Rebuya. ✨️
