At the highest plateau of Seoul’s World Cup Park sits Haneul Park, a former landfill turned ecological park. We came at the best time, apparently. In autumn, the fields are covered in tall miscanthus even taller than Rg. They sway with the wind and shine with the sunset as they…

Ever found yourself in a situation where you’re itching to do something but you don’t exactly know what? Just when I thought I’ve been doing quite well recently, I curl up at another unexpected moment. I’ve been trying to train myself to anticipate these things, but it seems like I…

I was the first to arrive at Paul Syjuco’s exclusive launch at Manila Pen. I rarely attend events, but I love presentations and intimate lunches like this one because I can take my time to really familiarize myself with the products and the people who worked hard to create them….

Old habits die hard. I made Denny’s a daily habit when I was in Vegas some time ago (I went everyday for 4 straight days!). Being familiar with the quality of Denny’s in the US, I admit I was a little skeptical when I first heard they opened here in…

Heritage on heritage – wearing Swarovski’s latest collection for their 122th year heritage dinner at the 128-year-old House on Sathorn in Bangkok. If there’s one reason for you to stay in this part of the city, it’s definitely this beauty! The main restaurant was listed in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants…

Last July, I flew to Bangkok for a very special night – the regional celebration of Swarovski’s 120+ year heritage, as well as the launch of their “Urban Fantasy” Fall/Winter 2017 collection. I was lucky enough to be part of such an exclusive event, so I made sure to take…

Here’s another cafe that’s worth the offbeat trip – Anthracite Coffee Roasters in Hapjeong. Once a shoe factory in the early 1900s, this cafe kept its cool industrial vibe and just added a warm rustic charm with specialty coffee and some of Seoul’s tastiest treats. On the second floor are…

It seems like every corner of Seoul has a hipster cafe concept waiting to be discovered. If you find yourself going around the area of Gyeongbokgung Palace, make sure to check out Daelim Museum and the Daelim Museum Cafe. I wasn’t able to take too many photos because the place…

A quiet escape in the middle of a bustling city, Bear Cafe is definitely one of the best in Seoul. The combination of traditional 70-year-old Hanok exteriors and modern, minimalist interiors will make your trip worthwhile. I was so intent on visiting Bear Cafe even if it was a little…

I usually have a love-hate relationship with Mango sales – every visit leaves me with more paper bags and less space in my closet. This time, however, I’d like to think I’m older and wiser with my purchases. I promised myself to follow a certain shopping criteria since I don’t…
Last month, I went on a quick Kansai getaway with my college friends. 2 of them were first time visitors, while the rest haven’t been able to visit in the last 6-8 years. This being said, I became the designated tour guide by default! Right before the trip, I made a…
I’m sure it’s no surprise that RG and I love a good cup of coffee. Our first date was actually a coffee date, and since then, we’ve had so many bonding sessions in different coffee shops around the metro. After we moved in together, it took us a while to get a coffee…

Finding magic in seemingly ordinary moments! Our usual Sunday routine of visiting our families (and our dogs) was met with very promising behavior from Chichay, Rg’s family’s resident shih tzu slash ball of fluff. It’s not always about looking fancy 24/7, or living a glamorous life. If the simplest, most…
