I ❤️ Dumaguete 2025 - Day 1 - Charo's Dormitel - 02/09/2025


Dumaguete Day 1: Charos Dormitory - A Surprisingly Awesome Stay!
 
Okay, so we finally landed in Dumaguete! First things first: we hopped in a tricycle to head to our hotel, Charos Dormitory. It's about a 20-minute tricycle ride from the port and around 10 minutes from the airport. The tricycle cost us 200 pesos, but if you're on a tighter budget, you can take a regular tricycle (not a special ride) for just 15 pesos!
 
Charos Dormitory is right across from MDC College, conveniently located along the highway. The hotel itself is HUGE! It's a three-story building, and the reception area is beautifully decorated with Asian-inspired furniture and antiques. Seriously, the whole place has such a calming vibe.
 
What I loved most about Charos Dormitory was the staff – so incredibly polite and friendly! And the hotel itself was spotless and smelled amazing. Our room was on the second floor (no elevator, FYI!), but it was totally worth the climb.
 
The room was seriously HUGE – I was shocked when I saw it! It was easily around 60 square meters, with TWO king-size beds! More than enough space for us. There was even a sofa and a dining table – it felt more like an Airbnb than a hotel! The bathroom was sparkling clean, there were plenty of trash cans, a nice veranda, and the AC worked perfectly. They even provided a TV, a refrigerator, a hairdryer, free toiletries, bottled water, and bath towels – all the essentials!
 
Another huge plus? Charos Dormitory has its own restaurant, Leana's Restaurant. It's open from 7 AM to 10 PM, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So convenient!
 
We stayed at Charos Dormitory for two nights, and we had such a great time. We felt totally safe and secure – there's a security guard on duty, which is always reassuring. Overall, Charos Dormitory is a highly recommended hotel. It exceeded our expectations in terms of value, comfort, and cleanliness. If you're ever in Dumaguete, you should definitely check it out!

I ❤️ Da Nang Vietnam 2025 - Day 1 - NAIA 3 - 07/24/2025

Day 1 - NAIA terminal 3 - Trapped in Manila's Monsoon Mayhem: A Race Against the Rain to Catch My Flight   Manila had been a soggy mess all week. Rain, relentless and torrential, had transformed the city into a watery labyrinth. It was the kind of downpour that made you question your life choices, especially the decision to book a flight to Vietnam during monsoon season. An orange alert, a constant digital companion on my phone, served as a grim reminder of the flooding chaos engulfing the city. News reports of cancelled flights, including one to North Vietnam earlier that day, fueled my growing anxiety.   My 8 pm flight to Da Nang loomed, a source of both excitement and palpable dread. Mader and Badet’s earlier flight had successfully braved a typhoon in the Philippine West Sea, their tales of gloomy Vietnamese weather offering a bittersweet comfort. Despite their experience, the uncertainty gnawed at me. The weight of a looming Thursday deadline at 4 pm ad...

I ❤️ Tokyo 2025 - Day 2 - Disneyland - Eastside Cafe - 03/10/2025

Tokyo Disneyland: A Delicious Detour to Eastside Cafe – March 10, 2025   Post-parade, our stomachs were rumbling louder than any rollercoaster. We were starving! The problem? Disneyland was packed, and every restaurant had a wait time that rivaled the lines for Space Mountain. But our resourceful Ate and Kuya remembered a hidden gem near the entrance: Eastside Cafe.   This table-service restaurant, tucked away in World Bazaar, promised a welcome respite from the park's frenetic energy. World Bazaar, with its early 20th-century Victorian theming, is already a feast for the eyes, and Eastside Cafe perfectly complements the atmosphere. It's like stepping into a charming Italian trattoria, complete with rich wood paneling, antique-style furnishings, and gorgeous murals depicting Italian landscapes. Even the frosted glass partitions added to the cozy, intimate feel.   Despite the crowds, the line at Eastside Cafe was surprisingly manageable. We sig...

I ❤️ Tokyo 2025 - Day 2 - Disneyland - Lilo & Stitch Tiki Room - 03/10/2025

Tiki Room Adventure: A Surprisingly Fun Disney Break!   Okay, so picture this: we're buzzing from all the Disney magic, ready to tackle some rides. But hold up! The app shows hour-long waits for everything popular. We're not about that life. We need a strategic break, a Disney pit stop if you will.   That's where the Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents "Aloha E KOMO Mai!" swooped in to save the day. Only a 15-minute wait? Sold! The Adventureland location was a bonus – a little escape from the main hustle. The waiting area was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seats. They even offered translation devices for non-English speakers – seriously impressed!   Stepping into the Tiki Room felt like entering a mini-theater. No photos or videos allowed (bummer, but understandable), so we just soaked it all in. The show itself? A whole lot of colorful robotic birds singing and doing their thing. Honestly, I kinda dozed off a bit. It...
