2012-03-03T01:21:00.000+08:00

San Pablo is the only city blessed with seven lakes but aside from that, it was also gifted with natural spring like the Bato Spring Resort. Nestled on the road going to Dolores, Quezon, this hidden natural wonder didn't failed us to be amazed and be refreshed by its invigorating cold waters. Big signs would lead you here if you are coming from the national highway. Trees would be

Capones Island

2012-02-26T22:59:00.000+08:00

Capones Island was one of the two islands near Anawangin and Pundaquit. Like Anawangin, there's no electricity here but there's already network signal. The shape of the landscape was like a crocodile head, a baboon's head or a shoe, whatever your imagination takes you. This place was kinda inhabited because here you could find the lighthouse, which was centuries old like any other lighthouse

Anawangin Cove, Zambales

2012-02-25T00:44:00.000+08:00

Anawangin Cove was a secret hide away for campers and mountain hikers before it became famous for its unusual growth of 'pine trees' along its shore, for its crystal clear water and white sands. Besides from that a picture perfect landscape of the rocky mountains surrounding it, which makes it isolated from the technology of humans. Our trip started by leaving Quezon Avenue around

2012-02-19T01:19:00.000+08:00

I had never been to a travel expo before and this year I really wanted to see what could it offer to the public whose feet likes to wander and explore the world beyond their own. Unfortunately, I just had a free time to go here on their last day and I don't know what to expect. Travel expo would definitely be a hit in our country. The Philippines, blessed with so many islands to explore and

After our planned adventure at Villa Escudero, we planned to have dinner here. She had

Bonete Bread

2012-02-12T02:07:00.000+08:00

Pandesal? Nope. Its called the 'Bonete'. It is San Pablo, Laguna's pride when it comes to this bread even it is smaller than pandesal its popularity for the locals was enormous because of its special taste that once you've tried it, I'll bet you'll have another piece or even the whole bag. Wonder how high was the demand for these breads from the locals? According to one local, long queues

Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort

2012-02-11T02:11:00.000+08:00

I have never been to Villa Escudero but been hearing this a lot whenever an OFW relative arrives. I wonder, what's with Villa Escudero? Is it like Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac with a mall, hotel, or village? Oh well, one picture led me to this place and thanks for my friends who wanted to go here too and to experience what's within the picture below. Lucky for me, one of them grew up and had

Cake Planet and Cafe

2012-02-07T01:38:00.000+08:00

There's a buzz about this coffee house from some of my friends who've been here and tried their mouthwatering cakes.

February 6, 2009 since I started TEAM Bee, inspired by the travelers and food trippers on the cyberspace as a hobby. I never knew anything about blogging since then but I insisted on having my own.

After driving ourselves to Share Tea in San Juan, me and my friend agreed to try Jamba Juice in BHS Central since we still have an hour before it closes at 1am.

Subspace Coffee House

2012-01-29T16:09:00.001+08:00

An officemate of mine saw this coffee house from her friend's photos in Facebook and was amazed by the shop's interiors and was curious to try their Purple Potato Latte, which we both never heard before and doesn't exist with any other coffee houses for now. We left the south around 10:30pm. We were expecting that it was still open up late like any other coffee houses in the metro but its

Krazy Garlik, Newport Mall

2012-01-28T15:01:00.000+08:00

It was my parents anniversary and I really don't know where we were going to. I suggested that we eat at P.F. Changs or in Binondo but my father just took us for a ride and never told us where we were headed to. Close enough, we were brought to Newport Mall. Finding a place to eat somewhere we had never been eaten to. My father, being a garlic fan, wanted to try Krazy Garlik. I told them

White Beach, Puerto Galera 6 years After!

2012-01-23T01:24:00.000+08:00

As I have said, its been six years ago since I stepped at the sands of White Beach, Puerto Galera and wondering if there were some or major changes that happened here or just stayed the same 6 years ago. But for sure nothing escapes from the possibility of change. Upon arrival, one thing I noticed was the boats, they only park at both ends of the White Beach making space for the people to

2012-01-21T01:23:00.000+08:00

It had been 6 years ago the last time I went to Puerto Galera with my highschool friends. This year because of Cleverbuy, I was able to visit this place again.

When we reached the Batangas port, I

Gong Cha

2012-01-14T22:01:00.000+08:00

Treated myself the whole day of the Saturday by strolling at the mall and eating at my favorite comfort food Sbarro! Had my very late lunch at 4pm but still early to have dinner so I decided to finally try Gong Cha located at the Food Choices. As usual, a long queue was still there. The last time I went there to try it, it already had that long queue that changed my mind to try it next

Tao Yuan Restaurant

2012-01-07T21:41:00.000+08:00

It's my mother's birthday and wanted to celebrate it in Resorts World.

Had celebrated an early Christmas with friends at BF Homes, specifically at Cedars and ended up finding another place to eat and continue our chit chats.

Sumo Sam

2011-12-12T20:52:00.000+08:00

Haven't eaten in any Marvin Agustin owned-restaurants, finally had tried Sumo Sam in Greenbelt 3 before accompanying my friends to watch Praybeyt Benjamin, although it was already my second time watching it.

2011-12-09T21:06:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since drinking alcohol was out of my system unless there are occasions to celebrate. It's my college's friend's birthday and we agreed to celebrate it with her in Makati but unfortunately she didn't had the chance to show up because according to her its flooded at their area she can't leave their house. So as the story goes, only four of us showed up and had dinner at
