2015 has been a rollercoaster of emotions: physically, mentally and financially. Nevertheless, I tried for the bad things to never get the best of me. Thankfully, I was still blessed with a few travels this year, some of which have helped rejuvenate my weary soul.
Siem Reap, Cambodia (May 2015) |
This year, I am grateful for old and new friends who I've met on the road and who've kept me sane. I am thankful for the people who've been around, especially when things got a little too difficult for me to handle.
I can't remember the last time I visited an army camp in the Philippines. So it was exciting for me to explore the 33-hectare Camp Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz, which also happens to be the second biggest military reservation in the country.
I would've gone sooner if I knew how gorgeous Vanilla Cupcake Bakery is. The place is so chic and sophisticated that I could stare at every nook and cranny all day. Luckily, I was able to see several of its offerings while attending an event that VCB hosted at their Mother Ignacia branch. And since I'll be getting married in a few months, I saw how the brand's overall decor can be potentially incorporated in my travel-inspired wedding.
Capiz isn't named the "Seafood Capital of the Philippines" just for nothing. It's a must-visit local destination, as the province has a never-ending supply of prawns, mud crabs, and shellfish. You name it, they surely have what you're craving for!
