Lub d Hostel opens its doors in Makati! (Plus a staycation GIVEAWAY)
The hostel game-changer
Okay honestly – when I received and read the invite to check out a hostel, I thought twice. As a traveller, I value my privacy (I’ve tried room sharing but it isn’t always my preference), after a long day of visiting touristy sites I look forward to coming back to soft linen sheets, my own en-suite bathroom and cool air-conditioning. So to check out and stay in a hostel? I wasn’t sure but all of this changed when I visited my first Lub d branch.

Check out this post about the rentable kitchen/micro event space just in Makati!

Hello, Anello! | Japan’s IT Bag Arrives In Manila
in SM Megamall
Most recently, I was pulling out tissues from a box when I watched the movie Kita-Kita. It was filmed in Japan and the intro scene caught my attention right away – because I spotted an Anello bag hanging on the wall! Find out why everyone is crazy for these bags! Good news – Anello is now available in Manila.
I’ve been thinking for quite sometime now whether to retain or change my last name but I think Mrs. Alexandra Higson has a nice ring to it. Watchathink? . . “Just Married” sign was hand embroidered by our @shopstylecat weavers ❤️ #intheYuNickofTime
#intheYuNickofTime Wedding Kwento (8 of 9): To Celebrate Love With Family We Choose ❤️ . Honestly, one of the hardest parts in planning a wedding is thinking of the guest list (It’s sooo hard!). My family is quite big so aside from Siargao, we also had a Manila reception. From the start, Nick and I both agreed we wanted a very intimate wedding (75 guests!) and wished to be surrounded be guests who genuinely know us as a couple or immensely helped us in planning the wedding. Our love story wasn’t easy so we definitely wanted to celebrate our best

I have always dreamt of my bridal march - a solemn reveal as big wooden church doors glide open and I walk down the aisle. Then, come the day itself, I was in the car and I saw that they couldn’t close the old wooden church doors - in fact, it was jammed and impossible
