House of Cravings is a dessert bar and events place on Quezon City’s famous foodie street. To kick off their new space, House of Cravings will be hosting a monthly “Unlimited Cake and Coffee Buffet” to highlight their signature offerings.
Long-haul flights are known to be boring and exhausting, and while pilots who have taken pilot training in the Philippines, USA, UK, or elsewhere are prepared to handle the long journey, most ordinary people aren’t. Preparing for a long flight involves more than just packing your bags. To ensure a stress-free journey like this requires careful planning, choosing the right travel essentials, as well as factoring in your health and comfort.
Did you know there are currently four UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in the Philippines? The province of Apayao was recently designated the country’s newest biosphere reserve as part of UNESCO’s initiative to conserve and manage biodiversity.

The article I wrote about our family vacation to Zamboanga City was the cover story in the June 2024 issue of Cebu Pacific’s Smile Magazine.
Bataan, a 3 to 4-hour drive from Manila via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), is a rising road trip destination near Manila. This province best known for historical landmarks like the Shrine of Valor at Mt. Samat and cultural destination Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar also has spots that will appeal to foodies.
Manila boasts a variety of historical and cultural museums that offer a glimpse into the Philippines’ rich heritage.

Other museums and parks in Manila also provide areas to appreciate culture and nature.
Rome isn’t really famous as a cycling destination compared to other European cities. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of exploring Rome on two wheels is driving the iconic Vespa rather than a traditional bicycle. My original vision of our Roman Holiday involved whizzing around ancient sites and city streets aboard the classic Italian luxury scooter.
Traveling to Europe has always been on our travel bucket list. We originally hoped to go on a European tour in May 2020 for our 10th wedding anniversary, but we all know what happened that year. In the past few years, I’ve realized that life is short and we should take the time to travel and enjoy life while we can. Fast forward four years later, and the dream came true when we finally went on our first-ever trip to Europe to 10 countries for almost a month in June 2024.
Is your laptop or PC showing signs of aging? If you’re experiencing slow performance, frequent crashes, or compatibility issues with the latest software, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Another signal that your device is nearing the end of its useful life is physical wear and tear, such as a failing battery or broken keys. These issues can significantly hinder your productivity and overall user experience, so when they start showing up, it makes sense to invest in a new, more efficient machine.
If there’s one place you must visit from Da Nang in Vietnam, it’s Hoi An. This charming and well-preserved UNESCO Heritage Town on Vietnam’s central coast is known as the “city of lanterns,” with small streets cutting through scenic canals. Multi-colored lanterns hang in front of every shop and lantern-lit boats look magical as they sail at night.
