I’ve recently been to South Korea and had a great time. Learning how to read Hangeul helped a lot, even though I don’t know the meaning of most things that I read!

Open swimming pools in Metro Manila (Swimming allowed in GCQ)
My main workout before the pandemic was swimming, while my husband also swam regularly in addition to his gym sessions.

Wrapped up summer with Swimjunkie Challenge VIP Lobo Open Water Race 2019

Swimming with fishes at Camayan Beach Resort (Subic, Philippines)
The unknown scares me. It was what triggered an injury on my toe back when I tried to snorkel in Samal Island. I was wearing a life vest but still felt nervous in the water… not only because I didn’t know how to swim back then, and I did not know what aquatic creatures I […]

Another dinner at Glenn 50’s Diner
2 years ago I had my first dinner at Glenn 50’s Diner. I ordered fried chicken, expecting it to be just enough amount for 1 person, but they served me 3 huge pieces of chicken. Sulit, right? Their foods are also delicious, and having their ice cream milkshake with your meal is mandatory. :3 This […]
