New Chill Spot in QC: 5YNCO BAR

I just might have found my new favorite place to chill at and it's just located within a few minutes drive from our turf, Cubao. Here's what happened. A few weeks ago, the gang (meaning childhood friends and cousins) decided not to do gutter hits, which is you know, our usual. Hehe. There are days when we feel like going someplace else where we can drink, listen to good music, exchange stories and dress up a little. In short, change of scenery din minsan. Yes, we see each other every week if not everyday, and yes we're clingy like that. Haha. Anyway! Our default go-to place has always been El Chupacabra in Makati but that time I was not in the mood to wait in line for an hour or two before being seated. I've always wanted to make tambay in a place similar to Finder's Keepers but close to home and more chill and relaxed. 

And then I remembered that my friend Rech (a longtime friend from FIP Styling Class) invited me a few weeks ago to visit her new bar and resto in Timog named 5ynco. So I texted her if they have beer (since we are all beer drinkers), asked her the price per bottle, she invited me to drop by that night and the rest is history!!! Here are photos and stories from that epic night...

Taiwan Diaries 2016, Day 4: Taipei 101, Tiger Mountain and Going Home

Finally, here's the last installment of our Taiwan 2016 adventure! I feel a little sad (as always) whenever I finish blogging about a trip because it feels like I'm closing a chapter in my life. Waw deep. Haha. But I also feel a little excited because I get to start again-- new pages for new adventures! Anyway, on our last day in Taipei, we visited the 8th tallest building in the world, Taipei 101. Back in 2004 up to 2009, it was classified as the world's tallest building. WOOOW. We also tried to view it from the top of a mountain. Stories and photos below...

How to Renew a Lost & Expired Driver's License in the Philippines

Hi guys! I'm back from my 10-day Thailand and Malaysia trip! :) So now time to work on some backlogs and pending travel posts.Before our trip, I made sure I renewed my driver's license. As a freelancer, I've always had a hard time claiming cheques and visiting buildings (where you had to leave an ID sa reception) because I lack government issued IDs. Sometime August last year, I renewed my expired and lost license. They gave me a temporary receipt for that. And then sometime December, I lost that receipt. Define burara? Waaah. So for the 2nd time, I had to apply for a new one. It was, however, an easy process contrary to popular belief! Well, at least now I guess. Here a rundown of my experience...

My Honest To Goodness Opinion & Tips on Flirting

Hi guys!!! I am currently here in Krabi, Thailand (been here for 8 days now!) and been beach hopping every single day (except yesterday which was temple day). It's always a good idea to chill at the beach with a good book in one hand and a bottle of iced cold beer in the other noh? One thing I love about chilling at the beach are the army of cute guys (and hot girls!) just casually strolling around. Believe me, in Krabi there is no scarcity haha. Sorry, Nico. Everyone's also super approachable and friendly! If you're single and alone, I think this might be the perfect place to meet someone. Haha!
