Top 10 Freelancing Websites for Filipinos
My freelancing journey started during the onset of the pandemic in the Philippines. Like many families, we were worried about finances, and I was determined to find a way to help my husband with our household expenses during those uncertain times. I started searching for online jobs, even though I had zero freelancing experience (yes, none at all!). Still, I gathered the courage to create my own Facebook page offering Virtual Assistant services. I knew I had some basic skills that could be useful — transcription, translation, annotations, simple graphic editing, and even basic video editing which I used to do as a hobby. It wasn’t professional-level yet, but I…

Why I Chose Hostinger for My Blog
Let me be honest: I didn’t start using Hostinger because of some fancy ad or affiliate pitch. I started because I needed a website that actually worked—fast, affordable, and not stressful to manage. At that time, I was juggling digital projects, content, clients, and about a million tabs open in my browser. I didn’t want something “perfect.” I wanted something reliable. Something that wouldn’t make me feel like I needed a computer science degree just to change a headline. That’s when I found Hostinger. Over time, it went from being “just my hosting” to becoming the platform I now use for my local client websites and business builds. So, this…

My Daughter’s Kuromi-Themed 7th Birthday Celebration
So last May 25, we celebrated my little Princess’s 7th birthday. Her initial request was a Roblox-themed party, but just a few months before her actual birth month, she suddenly had a change of heart and chose Kuromi instead. As much as we wanted to make it extra memorable for her, we weren’t able to hire a photographer and videographer since the catering and venue costs were higher than what we expected. But if you’re also planning a Kuromi-themed party for your little girl and are located here in Angono, I’ll be breaking everything down for you later in this post. The Venue For the venue, we chose the Day…

Calaguas Island 2025: Our Experience in This Hidden Paradise in the Philippines
We held our annual company outing from April 25 to 27 at Calaguas Island in Vinzons, Camarines Norte—also as a way to celebrate my mom’s birthday. It was one of the trips I had been looking forward to the most since our Boracay trip last year. From what we’d seen on Facebook, the beach looked incredibly pristine—almost comparable to the powdery white sands of Boracay—so I found myself wide awake and excited for most of the journey. The powdery white sand beach cove is more specifically known as Mahabang Buhangin (Long Beach), located on Tinaga Island, where the famous Calaguas is found. Its stunning “lime-colored” waters are said to be…

Boracay Moments: Our 2024 Short Travel Story in Astoria Current
There’s a reason Boracay Island continues to be one of the most loved beach destinations in the Philippines. With its powdery white sand and stunning sunsets, it never really goes out of style. For our 2024 trip, we chose Boracay Island and stay at Astoria Current, located in the quieter Station 3 area. Known for its modern design and more laid-back atmosphere, it offered a different side of Boracay—less crowded, more relaxed, but still just as beautiful. Here’s our honest experience as a group and what we did during our short stay here. This is actually my fourth time coming to Boracay but this is the first time we traveled…
