InfiniPlay Antipolo: Watching Her Be Eight While Remembering What It Felt Like to Be Young
Birthdays have always been one of my favorite reasons to create memories as a family. So when our daughter turned 8, we wanted to celebrate it somewhere she could simply be a kid—free to run around, play, and enjoy every moment of her special day. After coming across InfiniPlay Antipolo, we thought it would be the perfect choice. What we expected to be a fun birthday outing quickly became one of those family days that left us smiling long after it was over. From endless laughter to unexpected moments of nostalgia, it turned out to be more than just a celebration of another year—it was a day we’ll all remember…
South Luzon Loop – Day 2: Our New Year’s Day ATV Adventure at Cagsawa Ruins
After celebrating and welcoming the New Year at PROXY by The Oriental Albay the night before, we were greeted on the very first morning of 2026 by the majestic view of Mayon Volcano in Albay, Bicol. I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to begin the year than by waking up to one of God’s most beautiful creations. When we first arrived at the hotel the previous afternoon, the summit was hidden behind thick clouds, almost as if Mayon wasn’t quite ready to reveal itself. So waking up to a perfectly clear view the next morning felt like a little reward after our long journey. I found myself staring…

After spending hours on the road during our unexpected South Luzon Loop road trip from Manila to Albay, we were fortunate to secure a room at PROXY by The Oriental Albay just in time for New Year’s Eve.

From welcoming the New Year with fellow guests to watching a spectacular fireworks display, our stay became a celebration we’ll always look back on fondly. In this review, I’m sharing our honest experience staying at PROXY by The Oriental Albay—from our first impressions and the room…
South Luzon Loop Day 1: Manila to Bicol + New Year’s Eve at Proxy by The Oriental Albay
Road trips have always been one of my family’s favorite ways to unwind and escape the busyness of everyday life. My mom, especially, has always loved spontaneous drives and discovering new places. Over the years, celebrating the New Year together as a family has become one of our most treasured traditions, and every year, we make it a point to welcome another chapter side by side. This year, however, our celebration unfolded in a way none of us could have predicted. For months, my mom had been talking about visiting Albay, but it always remained just a plan—one of those trips we’d “hopefully” take someday. Little did we know that…
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…
