5 Tips to survive inflatable aqua parks.

Image
Some few years ago, inflatable playgrounds started to sail afloat along the tropical shores of the Philippines. I admit, seeing those colorful water playgrounds floating in vast waters under the bright sunshine is such an inviting scene, as if everything is fun and exciting here. Yet, upon experiencing it for the first time at The Seashore Beach Club in San Juan, Batangas, I realized that being on those bouncy floaties is not as easy as swimming against a calm current. More than an adrenaline rush, it requires a focus mind and a tough heart to triumph the obstacles. So here are some tips to survive aqua inflatable parks: 1.Proper attire is preferable I bet that selecting OOTDs for that beach trip is one of the things you sweat out: of course, who would not want to have an insta-worthy snapshot of your sweet escape. But, this is not the kind of activity wherein you should be garbed. Ditch those trendy swimsuit and opt to wear rash guards, leggings, and aqua shoes. R...

4 Travel Essentials for your Next Long Flight

Image
Ankara, Turkey skyline I guess, most of us would agree that having a trip is one way to relax and rejuvenate.  Yet, admit it, there are segments of traveling that are enervating and boring as well. Packing and long queues in the airports to name a few. What’s worse than these is having looong flights. Just imagine yourself being told to stay still on your small chair while struggling to find a perfect position to have a sound sleep. And trying your best to limit your movement aiming not to invade your seatmate's little space or avoiding the one behind you to slip on their hot drink. I’ve experienced few long uninterrupted flights✈️. One is from HongKong🇭🇰 to Canada🇨🇦 (12 hours) and one is from Philippines🇵🇭 to Qatar🇶🇦(9 hours). Mind you, these route have stop-overs and I still have to wait for few more hours for my connecting flight to reach thy destination. Yes, long haul flights feel uncomfy especially for economy class passengers like I am: having ...

10 Tips to Renew your Passport Fast

Image
For the longest time, processing government IDs and documents has been a pain in the ass. Then again, I was surprised last Monday when I renewed my passport because it only took me 21 minutes to do such. Yes! you read it right. A mere 21 minutes and I was done. What added with my surprise is the fact that I was done before my parents were,considering that they were in the senior citizen courtesy lane. Perhaps, because there were a lot of senior citizens that time. I renewed my passport at DFA Pampanga at Robinsons Star Mills since it is more accessible from Bulacan and my parents would not like to stress themselves out of Manila's heavy traffic. I think most of us knows that passport is an essential document:whether you use it for its purpose as a necessary travel document or use it as just a mere valid ID.Though, its importance is apparent, most people are still lazy getting this small booklet. Why! because of the notion of inconvenience securing one. Then again let m...

Image
Perhaps, most of the budget travelers' dilemma whenever catching flights to NAIA is a convenient and an affordable way to get there. Well, fret no more since Airport Loop Bus is still here to serve you. Strategically located at the MRT and LRT common station at EDSA Taft, backpackers can easily take this airport bus service to a NAIA for just a minimal fee of 20 pesos.The Airport Bus Loop service starts at 5:40 a.m and ends as late as 11:00 p.m.. Going to NAIA  The Airport Bus Loop terminal can be found downstairs the MRT EDSA Taft station particularly at the back of McDonald's.Other bus companies going to far-flung provinces such as Baguio and Pangasinan can be found at the terminal.  Each service will leave at the terminal for about 15 minutes. However,since traffic flow is unpredictable arrival of the services is also unpredictable. Based on my experience, its first stop would be at NAIA Terminal 3 and then the 2nd stop would be at Resorts World Manila.  ...

10 Travel Essentials to Bring in your every Trip

Image
Packing may be stressful at times specially if you only have very limited space,time and allowed baggage weigh. The stress level would heighten when you started to ask the "What Ifs" (What if I  ran out of clean clothes?What if I get too cold? etc.).   Packing your things when you travel needs an exceptional skill of decision making. You should know to sort out the necessities and the luxuries. You should know what to prioritize on your list.   So I want to share my list with you. I hope you find this helpful in the future. 1.I.D/PASSPORT: Of course, if you are travelling abroad,you need a passport. But if you are travelling locally,it is still advisable to bring at least one ID since it is  often asked at seaports and bus terminals before you board. Also, some hotels are also asking for IDs before you check in.  Meanwhile,if you are travelling with a private or rented vehicle or if you decided to climb a mountain and do some camping, I stil...
