“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ― Edgar Degas Looking at art is usually a pleasure, but interacting with art? Now that’s an entirely unique experience! While it is great to appreciate a picture, nothing is quite like being part of the picture. It’s like stepping inside a different world …
Ask me what I do and I’ll tell you that I’m a “Marketing Officer / Wedding & Events Host / Singer / Writer / Blogger.” Do those slashes make it sound like I have so much on my plate? Well, I do… but I feel a sense of fulfillment in being a “multi-passionate slashie.” Back …
Angkor Wat is great, yes. But is there anything else to do in Cambodia aside from traversing temples? In my 5-day trip to Siem Reap, my girlfriends and I discovered that there are other things to see in the city other than pagodas and bas-relief structures that are just as interesting and fun. When …
Going from one temple to another is no joke. A full day of touring Cambodia’s prodigious architectural sites can leave one feeling famished. Thankfully, the streets of Siem Reap are abounding in restaurants that are both interesting and reasonably priced! Here, you can find ritzy cocktail bars, laid-back pubs, diverse international fare, authentic Khmer cuisine, …
More than a year has passed since my friends and I set foot on Siem Reap and marveled at its amazing culture and architecture, but the memories of this one-of-a-kind getaway are still fresh in my mind. One of the memories that never fails to put a smile on my face until now is our …
After seeing the phenomenal and glorious Angkor Wat, which Cambodia is probably most famous for, I thought that we have seen it all.

After my girlfriends and I got spellbound by the enthralling Banteay Srei, which was the second temple we visited in Siem Reap, I thought that that temple would be a tough act to follow. Well, the next temple we visited was, in fact, smaller than Banteay Srei. Nonetheless, it had its own unique charm and …
Our Cambodia trip last 2013 was not just an out-of-the-country adventure, but also a 5-day bridal shower for our friend Alessa. That being said, it was strictly an all-girls-only getaway (with the exception of our tour guide Sam and van driver, of course!). What’s the most fitting thing for 5 ladies to do in Siem …
A few weeks before the holy week, I told my boyfriend Mike, “We’re going to Subic on the holy week with the family.” He raised his eyebrows at me and asked, “What are we going to do there? Pray?” Confused, I repeated, “Pray?” “Well,” he said, “You said it’s the holy week. So I asked …
Last week, my family planned a trip to Subic to have a little well-deserved R&R. We were told by my aunt Carol that we were going to stay at the Camayan Beach Resort in Subic Bay, and that we were given free tickets to Ocean Adventure, the only open-water marine park in Southeast Asia that …
