Packing 101

I'm sure with a lot of airline promos lately, most of you are already planning to travel this year. Traveling via plane is by far the easiest and most convenient way to go from one country to another, but nobody usually mentions how hard it is to be waiting before boarding for a flight. One needs to be at the airport 4 hours before an international flight departure and up to 2 hours before a domestic flight.

Travelogue: Stamps! More stamps!

Isn’t it nice when you open your passport and you see a lot of stamps from other countries? I started exploring the beauty of Asia last year, and I’m proud to say that I funded all of my travels. Goodbye savings, hello happiness!

Driving 101

It has been two months since I started driving without a company -- my father. During my first month, I was just roaming around the camp where I currently live.  I feel totally safe inside because the roads are wide and there are only a few vehicles.  Then, my father pushed me to drive outside of my comfort zone; that was when I started gaining courage to drive alone in the big city of buses and PUVs (public utility vehicle).

It's not a joke driving around the metro, especially in EDSA! Don't get me wrong, I braved EDSA two years ago, but with a driving instructor.  LOL. Yes, I already kind-of-know how to drive after I graduated from college.  However, I never really tried driving alone until the time came that I just have to do it because my father was leaving for Cebu due to work. So, I'm left dealing with the errands, which also means learning to drive all by myself.

Meet your friendly driver. Don't worry, this was taken at the parking area 

and I securely fastened my seat belt before stepping on the gas.
