I Left my Heart in San Francisco

The chilliest winter I ever spent was the first day of summer in San Francisco.
















It was a dream come true to visit the Land of Milk and Honey, see the Golden Gate Bridge, and finally set foot to the major destination country of Filipino migrants. I love SF every moment, every second, every rewind.

Nova Scotia

These moments will all be stories someday.









Laidback, quaint and charming, Nova Scotia is one of the four Atlantic provinces, and the second smallest province in Canada. It means "New Scotland" in Latin.

Its weather could be extremely harsh. But its people are exceptionally warm.

Aglicay

The beautiful cove is no Boracay… but talk about sunrise, breathtaking view of rolling hills and deep-blue sea, and gracious friendly hosts (the Martinez’), Aglicay may be incomparable. Tucked in a secluded peninsula in southeastern Tablas Island in Romblon, Aglicay is a perfect weekend getaway.

Casa San Pablo: Mi Casa es Tu Casa

You are confined only by the walls you build yourself.





Surrounded by pine trees and sprawling lawns, charming country inn Casa San Pablo is the “Little Baguio” of Laguna. Avid art collector and hobby enthusiast Boots Alcantara and his wife An Mercado-Alcantara, writer and magazine editor, are the innkeepers. I personally meet the 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year awardee, Boots. He is very hands-on and down to earth. Their inn reflects their pursuit of contemporary and eclectic junk-turned-art and literary collections.

The following are the services, amenities, and activities offered by Casa San Pablo: meetings or seminars, team-building activities, swimming, basketball, massage, Frisbee, billiards, videoke, stargazing, acoustic band, and board games. The inn is also a Wi-Fi hot spot.

For a gustatory adventure Viaje del Sol, Casa San Pablo is a good jump off point to other destinations in the Laguna, Quezon and Batangas areas.

Casa San Pablo is not only a typical bed and breakfast, it is home.
