Geneva, Switzerland



First of all, I would like to thank all my readers for sparing the time to keep up with my blog. 

Randomly, a friend and I decided to hit Geneva for a day trip. It takes approximately two hours from where I live and that was quite nice to hop on the train and see spectacular views of nature. One of the best things about travelling is the journey, it gives you time to be alone in your seat and reflect about life. 

I've been back in Europe for exactly a month now, and gone are the nights where I get homesick. I've finally adapted to the environment. Accepted the fact that living in the province has its perks as well. I'm back to the daily grind of my life and that's good. 



 Geneva known for its watches, chocolates, private banks and wealthy people also has the tallest fountain in the world; the Jet d'Eau. This is my third time to be in this city, and never has this piece stopped amazing me. If you stand below it, you can see the massive amounts of water gracefully falling to the lake and that was really glorious.

 One of things that I like about Europe is how you can freely lounge in the numerous parks scattered in the city. Sure we have parks back home in the Philippines, but it's really not practical to lounge under the scourging heat. 






 During hot summer days, people love to lounge in Bains de Pâquis, the closest thing they will ever get to the beach. I remember coming here last March and the amount of people cannot compare to how many there are on this photo. I guess they are just making the most of the last few days of summer.



Geneva, one of the main cities in the country is the closest city that I can get to remind me bits of my beautiful life in Paris. Some of the architecture are renaissance and the people speak French. 

I had a really great day in this city, and will definitely be seeing more of Geneva.


A bientôt!

LET THERE BE EUROPE.                                                                                                                                                                            If you might be thinking where I was for the past few days, I can’t summarize it into one post.  It’s quite often that my friends and I grab dinner followed by overflowing drinks that keeps us until sunrise. Last saturday was something new. The most popular road trip destination if you live in the south would always be Tagaytay, and that’s exactly where we went. I’ve had a post about Tagaytay before but this one’s entirely different. We went up to a place called Crosswinds. The whole property looked like it was shipped right from Europe. We went on a hike up here and another place that overlooked the Taal Lake, but because it was raining,the fog had covered up the whole view. When I revived my blog last July, I admit that I was pressured to post outfit shots, but I figured out that

I'M Hotel Makati (Is it the newest 5 star hotel?)

Image
Who is the new kid in town? I'M. (yes, that's the name of the hotel) After spending most of my days working in a hotel, I've adapted a feature that subconsciously notices details of service and even the architectural and engineering aspects. I am proud to be a Filipino hotelier and from now on, I will be exploring more of the country and hopefully SEA nations as I will take you along with me. I'M hotel bags the title as the newest 5-star hotel in the district. But is it really a 5 star hotel? The tall building soaring through the skyline of the CBD's outskirts located in Poblacion sparks curiosity mostly because of it's name. Similar to most, I asked why "I'M hotel" and up to now I still don't have an answer. After passing through the property along Makati avenue countless times, it was like a timelapse of the building's construction until a day came where they've put up a sign written onsen spa.

How to disconnect from the world without the need to travel far

It was 3am when we left Makati. After I came back to Manila from my hometown in Cebu last week, my friends and I headed up north to Zambales, which is about a 4 hour drive from Makati City. The scenery we aimed for was beyond the popular Philippine shores circulating heavily around the internet and we hit jackpot with the coves of Zambales.  Most international travel bloggers arrive the Philippines and cover three main spots "Palawan, Boracay and Cebu" . I absolutely love their content and everyday, I get inspired to create my own. My goal is to show people other spots that are barely developed highlighting the wonders of the country despite the common international impression.  Be prepared by the scenery that Zambales has to offer. The flora resembles nordic fjords splashed with savanna imagery on the inner side. The beaches of the coves sparkle bright during sunlight channeling the shores of Boracay and fades to earthly colours during dusk and sunrise.
