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 4: From Taal View in Tagaytay to a Breathtaking Ocean View in Pasay
We started our day in Tagaytay with literally no itinerary planned, except for the fact that we had another hotel to check into at 2 PM in Pasay. Since we had a light breakfast at the apartelle where we stayed the night before, we took our time getting ready and packing our things before heading out once again. My parents even bought jackets somewhere nearby because the weather outside wasn’t exactly friendly for people their age. We hit the road at around 11 AM and took a quick stroll along the roads of Tagaytay City. The last time I came here was with my hubby and my 2 younger brothers…
South Luzon Loop – Day 3: The Journey Continues from Bicol to Tagaytay
After another fun-filled day in Bicol from our Day 2, it was finally time to continue our journey back home—or so we thought. 😂 My husband’s birthday was coming up on January 4, and I had already booked a hotel in Pasay for January 3 as part of our birthday celebration. So I think the timeline of this trip was perfectly aligned with my plan for his birthday. Since we were already making our way back to Manila, we kept persuading my mom to hold off on going home and join us for a little longer so we could celebrate my husband’s birthday together. Thankfully, she agreed—yet again! 😂 So,…
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…
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…
