What not to miss on your trip to Thailand?
Every traveller who visits Thailand comes back with a different story, shaped by the places they explore and the moments they cherish. For some, it is the sight of golden temples glowing at sunrise, while others remember island sunsets that linger in memory forever. Many travellers are captivated by Bangkok’s bustling night markets, where colours, flavours, and sounds come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere.

REVIEW: Magwai Sheer Mineral Sunscreen
Not gonna lie, the first time I tried Magwai’s sunscreen (regular kind) a few years back, the harsh white cast turned me off. Sayang kasi I really like their advocacy of being REEF SAFE 🐟🐠 A lot of sunscreen, despite performing well or nice sya sa skin, can harm and pollute our oceans, or worse poison marine life. Kaya when hitting the beach, I make sure we use something reef friendly. I learned that @magwaiph now launched a SHEER version of their mineral sunscreen and WOW I am impressed. ✅ Applies mousse like✅ Needs a bit of effort to blend out but once it does it looks seamless✅ Lightweight, feels like you…

To my seven-year old self who is skating on the floor using baby powder
Hey you. Remember how a few months back I got into figure skating? Well, I just won a gold medal today for Skate Philippines 2025 in a technical event for Alpha. What does that mean? It means you need to do six right foot over left foot forward crossovers, snowplough stops, 6 forward strokings, 6 left foot over right foot forward crossovers, and a FS 1 element. The FS1 element of my choice are two-foot spins. The other one is an Arabesque, but I think my coach saw my potential as a super spinner LOL. Speaking of my coach, her name is Nikki and she’s awesome. I think I changed…

UCC dates back to 1933 when founder Kadao Wes introduced coffee – then considered a ‘rich and mysterious beverage’ and relatively unknown in Japan – in the city of Kobe and slowly built its popularity in the market. While coffee was widely consumed at the time in Europe and…
