I feel like I'd be lying if I said that the past year has 'ruined' my life. No matter how many terrible things happened in 2020, there were still multitude of blessings that came my way. Yes, my plans were thwarted and my trips have come to a sudden halt. Then again, God's timing is never off...and He simply way preparing me for something so much bigger than…
It’s no secret that I’m a workaholic. I don’t really like to admit it because I also like to have fun, but I’m starting to realise the truth that I really am obsessed with working. What can I do? I need to work in order to afford the lifestyle that I have, and in order to afford living in different countries. However, how does one find the perfect…
Last April, I got back to the Philippines after a long journey from Colombia. Both countries are on the opposite sides of the hemisphere, and it's been such a tough time accepting that my South American journey was over. Just like that, it was done, and I was home. I kept on asking myself how this happened, but it's life. Sometimes the journey comes into an unexpected halt.…
On the day that I was born, the first people who ever saw me were the three most important women in my life: my mother, and my two grandmothers. I was surrounded by women for ever since I could remember.…
When I was younger, I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. There was this passion within me, and some-what a voice in my head.

A few months ago, I had the insane privilege of attending and photographing the happenings at the Global Climate Strike in New York City. This inspiring initiative was lead by the young Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg.…
To be honest, 2018 has been rough, challenging, and oh so unexpected. I learned a lot, met a lot of amazing (and annoying) people, and dove into things I never thought of doing. Needless to say, I had a blast! I have had my heart broken and I have cried multiple times, but I would not have it any other way.…
My mother always told me that I have the hands of a lazy child. Why, you ask? Well they have always been so soft and I always kept them polished and well moisturized. To be quite honest, I have always thought that the most beautiful part of my body were my hands. But as of late, I have found my hands getting more and more worn down in…
A few months ago, I headed to Chiang Mai for a very short getaway. My flight to Morocco (from Bangkok) was cancelled and rebooked, and I was already so fed up with the vibe in Bangkok. So with all that said, I fled to Chiang Mai, and during this short stay, I discovered OON Poshtel + Cafe. The first thing that I noticed when I entered OON was…
For every photo I post on social media, people are so easy to comment positive stuff. Sometimes they would even say that they wish they had my life. But let me tell you this, my life is mine and it is not perfect--I have bad days too.…
