2025 is, by far, the most travel-filled year of my entire life! ✈️ 🇯🇵🇰🇷🇻🇳🇮🇩🇫🇷🇳🇱🇪🇸 And for that I am so truly grateful 🙏🏻 I’m so happy to have experienced all the seasons this year, with different groups of people that I hold dear. ❄️☀️🌸🍁 You know who you are — thanks for sharing all the laughs (and tears and spirals) with me. You guys pulled me through. 💕
I picked my favorite moments from all the trips and crammed them into 30 seconds, but hopefully in 2026 I’ll get to share more about stories about these adventures. 📹
But for now — 2025, you were DEFINITELY a wild one. 💥
May the coming year be filled with growth and new experiences!! Happy new year, everyone. 💕🥰

Sharing the itinerary we had for our very short but sweet trip to Fukuoka, Japan! 🇯🇵 Arrived late on a Friday, and left on Monday evening.
I wasn’t so sure what to expect, but I fully enjoyed the space and slower pace the city offered. We did a day trip to Yanagawa and Daizafu (in one day) too! Thanks to @livelifeaudrey , ang dakilang travel enabler ng barkada hahaha.
Should I share more of these? 🤔

A recap of expenses from our Iceland trip in October 2023! 🇮🇸
Thanks to splitwise, we were able to track everything we spent on and compute how much it cost per person! 💰 Save this if you’re planning to go there too! ✈️
✍️ EDIT: Made a small error — the hotel total per person for the whole trip is Php 26,426! The 101k overall total still holds, I just over divided that part, apparently 🤣

Arcade day at @daveandbustersph with @kydfuente and @loreyn.alelis ! 🕹️
On Wednesdays, all the machines are HALF OFF the chips! 🙌🏼 So we got to enjoy doube the fun 😆 I was most excited for the Air Hockey, to which I lost 5-1 😑🙃
MOST & VERY IMPORTANTLY: the food is yummy!! 🍕🍝🍗From Monday to Friday, they have Php 395 set meals with an appetizer, an entrèe, and a drink — and my fave was the cheese quesadilla paired with the shrimp cajun pasta 🤤
I wanna go back soon HEHEHEHE
📍Opus Mall, Pasig

A few more photos from Montserrat, Spain! 🇪🇸
The monastery is so high up that this is the view you’ll see while walking around. 🥹 You could walk to the cross (in photo 4) for a different viewpoint, but unfortunately we didn’t have time.
Still very, very beautiful! 😍🤩✨

Very rarely do I wake up for an early breakfast, thankfully it was well worth it! ☺️☀️ David and I enjoyed a quick breakfast date before facing another busy week. 💪🏼
@rumba_ph ’s breakfast offers are available from 7AM-11AM daily. 🍽️
📍Ayala Triangle Gardens
A concept by #thebistrogroup 💯
Got a bag of @commonmancoffee_ph beans and did a brew over ice! 🧊☕️
The first part of everyday is spent making coffee and a simple breakfast, and it’s my favorite morning routine. 💕 And of course @aurora.thepersian & the kitties didn’t want to miss out. 😆
20g coffee
100g ice
150ml water

Summer in the Philippines is indescribably beautiful ☀️

Yesterday’s side quest! ☕️ I LOVE COFFEE. 🥲🥹😍💕
Thanks to @torrejonjosemanuel ’s invite, we got to participate in @latitudebeanbar ’s public coffee cupping event! 🙏🏻
(Fun Fact: Jose was my teacher for 2 days during the pandemic, and he gave me barista lessons. but no machine at home means no practice hahaha)
Clueless as to how cupping events work and very excited to taste good coffee, I came ready to be caffeinated. 🤣 We learned so much and had fun making new friends! 🫶🏻 Thanks @latitudebeanbar for hosting the event! 🥰
