I’m almost tempted to title this post as “15 Cool Things You Should Already Own” because really, you must buy all of this pretty rad things for yourself. Most of the gift guides floating around the internet are either peppered with stupid, tacky things like notebooks and photo frames (shudder) or ridiculously expensive stuff […]

How to celebrate your freaking Forever 21st birthday in style
I’m sitting here in our hotel room in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines furiously typing away because I’m happy. I mean I almost always am. I have a perpetually happy disposition in life. Today is my birthday. It’s not just any birthday though. I’m entering a new decade – no, it’s not the 40’s yet! – […]
You live out the confusions until they become clear
I’m alive. Not writing on this blog for more than a month feels like forever in internet years. I know you’ve been looking for me. To readers who care and emailed to ask if I stopped blogging: I’m still here. I did not leave. This space will not disappear. It’s my baby. It’s my […]
Ponza, Italy: Best Things to See and Do on Italy’s Secret Island
A quick travel guide to Ponza Island, Italy with best things to see and do on the island. Read the complete Ponza Island Travel Guide here. “Enjoy Ponza.

Spaghetti Ice Cream Exists and it’s freakin delicious
“Wait, what?!? Spaghettieis (Spaghetti ice cream)? What the hell is that?” “Just wait for it,” said Michael with a mischievous grin on his face.

Packing for a stylish summer in Europe. Avoid #9 at all costs.
What’s hot and what’s yuck in Europe for summer? How do you stay looking amasin’ (as the cute Spanish boys would say) and stylish as you’re getting tanned in Mykonos, partying in Berlin or eating gelato in Rome? Hint: NOT jersey shirts and DEFINITELY NOT zip-off pants. This is a totally unsexy topic but […]
I wrote a letter for YOU.
Today is an important day. For Filipinos, June 12 is celebrated as our Independence Day. I celebrate something else entirely. Today marks the day I decided to give a middle finger to mediocrity, to corporate slavery, to everyone who never believed in me. It is the day I embraced freedom and happiness and the […]

King´s Day is arguably the greatest party in Netherlands where almost everyone celebrates the birthday of their King. And of course everyone paints the whole country orange! In Rotterdam it […]
