Art appreciation is a thing of the past. However, it's not yet too late for me to visit museums and historical sites to search for beauty, truth and meaning.

Half day is enough for us to find time to enter National Museum and walk around San Augustin Church and Manila Cathedral for FREE, Intramuros and Fort Santiago for PHP 50 and have dinner buffet with cultural show at Barbara's for PHP 799.

Photos show how we did it.

Being too sentimental and over thinker, I opted doing things to avoid depression. Luckily, my office mate suggested to go to Sta. Rosa, Laguna to watch the Nuvali Night Sky Cinema last April 29, 2017. I immediately said yes and the rest was a one of a kind experience.

Life should have more mountains and less stress. This crossed my mind before experiencing total mental breakdown days before the release of the 2016 Bar Examinations results.

We were all set to go back to the Philippines. We had enough rest since we slept for 11 hours so we can gain energy for work on the next day. We felt so refreshed and our host family even helped us to have our memorable fifth day in South Korea.

Our fourth day will be our last chance to see the snow before heading back to the Philippines. Our itinerary centered in Myeongdong. The last busy day will be dedicated to Namsan Tower and Myeongdong cathedral and shopping streets. We prayed hard to God so He will let us see and experience snow and He answered it hard as well.

Winter escapade is not complete without skiing. We made sure that we will experience it during our planning. I opted to go to the nearest ski resort that is accessible by subway. And through blogs, I found out that Elysian Ski Resort can be reached if we alight from Baegyang-ri station and wait for the free shuttle bus to the ski house.

It's Seollal or Lunar New Year in South Korea and I was not aware when I was planning our winter trip. There were advantages and disadvantages but we leaned on the better side. Many Koreans celebrate this with the family and we really observe that many of them especially the kids enjoy this event.

Eight months after our first trip together in South Korea, my sister and I braved the weather and tried to experience winter there. We are from the topical country, Philippines, so we are not immune to extreme or harsh or very cold weather in South Korea. See how we made sure to enjoy our five day trip despite the chilling season!

I have been in South Korea for five times in a matter of six years. And during those visits, I did not forget to include certain places that are definitely must-go-to places for YG stans like me. Together with my sister, I am slowly completing the list I created in order for us to proclaim that we are indeed true blooded YG stans.

Before loving KPop, we fell for South Korea because of the birth of Koreanovelas or Korean Dramas in Philippine television. And part of my plans during my trip is to visit some of the memorable filming locations that Korean Drama addicts like me know.

The trip was unplanned yet there were so many realizations after surpassing our siblings' relationship test. We booked our flight with PhP 6,000 airfare each exclusive of the PhP 1620 travel tax just to explore Singapore and Malaysia in three days.

We literally enjoyed every minute of our stay there and this was how we summarized our travel diary from October 30 - November 4, 2013.

While thinking of a fun place where my office mates will enjoy, Tarlac came across the picture. It seemed to be the perfect setting where we can bond at low cost.

My fascination over hot air balloons began when I made my bucket list.

I live in a rural community but experiencing a full farm life is not part of it.

Pushing through our Pulag adventure was not an easy plan.

Who would have thought that a trip to Ilocos Region can be done in just two days?

While browsing the internet, I read an article/blog narrating amazing places in the Philippines.
