Hello, I have a little surprise.  When I went to Dubai last year (back in November), I quietly journeyed to hot and humid, Abu Dhabi as well.  I've been excited to show you these photos (but I had to be quiet for a surprise blog content).  I finally paid a visit to the bucket list worthy, world-renowned Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and it was absolutely stunning!

Oh hello, Happy New Year.  For my first post of 2019, I'm serving you photos from my recent trip to Seattle. Recent, meaning last month lol. Seattle remains one of the prettiest cities I've seen in the U.S.  Of course, I took advantage of the good (but frigid) weather. One of my favorite jackets, is this teddy jacket but it wasn't completely helpful at all. I was freezing the whole time.  Here are the few photos that I decided to share-- It's not much.  Click Read More below to see extra photos! 

For thanksgiving last month, I quietly flew to Dubai and visited for the first time.  It was such a surreal experience.  I missed the Middle East since if you didn't already know, I spent my childhood years in that region after my parents found a job and we all moved there when I was a toddler. Anyway, being in Dubai brought back so many memories. Arabian food is one of my favorite foods and I think the people in Dubai are friendly, warm and respectful. It was a quick trip and I'm already thinking about my next Middle Eastern destination as I'm sat here in my office room.  Click Read More link below for the photo show :)

The past two weeks was difficult because I kept daydreaming about Mexico City.  Time flies indeed.  This city is so humongous, you're going to need over a week (or two) to explore all of it.  I'm going to do something different for this post. I'll be storytelling. Let me know if you like this post, i'll be doing it for my future posts if you guys like it.  Now, when I was in high school my art teacher was obsessed with Frida Kahlo and she mentioned to all her students that we must make sure to go visit her museum at least once in this lifetime--and I did. Now, I have to find her contact information and tell her! I don't know why it took so long for me to visit CDMX but nonetheless, I experienced it now. A lot of high-pitched laughters and food is a dangerous combination haha.

I was in Chicago, the magnificent city up north two weeks ago.  They say it's more fun the second time around and yes, I found that to be true and believable.  On top of that, I was with friends that made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable.   What was the weather you ask? Like NYC. It was breezy though warm and sunny-my post-lasik eyes couldn't handle it either.  I didn't take many photos so I hope you like these photos I had to serve (satisfactorily).  With all that said: click Read More link below to see more!  

Last weekend I visited Boston, Massachusetts! I've never been to Boston before and this was my chance to go visit. I didn't know it was chilly up there during this time of the year! What do I know about Boston?  Gisele-Tom and Ryan-Blake hah! But with all kidding aside, I think Boston is full of culture and thus, a different environment to explore.  I wish I had more time to traverse Beantown though.

When I think about Rome, I think about the culture and the heaps amount of activities and sights to see.  Two weeks ago, I explored Rome with friends and apart from the ample amount of walking, we laughed and shared stories and there's no better way to do it than in the eternal city itself.  I hope these pictures turned out well. We tried to take many photos as much as possible while at the same time absorbing the roman environment.  I am excited to share with you finally! (I got several DMs on snapchat about when I will be uploading) Click Read More below for more photos.

Last weekend, I visited Orlando with my family.  You know what that means?  Disney World!  We only got to visit two theme parks:  Epcot and Magic Kingdom.  Apart from the miles and miles of walking, the weather took a toll on me.  It was hot! it's lethal!  Regardless, I was able to take photos for blog content.  Yay!  (I tried my best haha).  Click Read More below for morrrre photos.

  They say time flies when you are having fun. Yes indeed as I'm back home now.  Vancouver is one of those cities that you just want to keep visiting.  This was my second time and I enjoyed it regardless of the rain.  It was a quick trip since as many of you know, I always take short trips.  From traversing the wet and slippery streets and relentlessly eating delicious meals, sometimes a weekend trip is all you need to recharge, to get inspired and fall in love with the world even more.  Click the link to view more photos.

This past weekend, I flew to Montréal to attend my cousin's wedding. Although, I won't be posting any wedding photos here, I promised to post travel photos.  This is my first time visiting this city and it has always been on top of my bucket list.  Yes, I managed to take a plethora of photos despite of being a quick trip (only two days for me).  Traveling exudes such a positive emotion for me, it always uplift my spirits and always ends up a transformative experience.  Click the link for more photos! 

There was this sudden vertical increase of tourism in Iceland just in the past year alone.  In the past, I have never really considered to even visit this country, but after googling photos and reading multiple travel blogs, I decided that it will be one of my dream destinations.  It has that unique, small city charm, but has a big city feel to it.  I'm so glad that I visited Reykjavik (the capital city) and hopefully I can come back in the future to do more sightseeing. 

For me, traveling is an inconspicuous collection of memories.  Every chance I get, I try to get out of my comfort zone and boy I did when I flew to Tokyo for a friendly reunion.  Such a dynamic city, unbelievably large and bustling for sure.  I was only there for three days but I tried to spend as much as I could with my friends from Manila, Philippines. The amount of photos I took was scary but as promised here's a few photos....Click the link for more photos. 

I recently just got back from Dublin, Ireland.  I say it's my favorite country ever! Having to visit Ireland for the 6th time made me realize that this country will always have a special place in my heart.  Ireland was the very first European country I EVER visited.  Since Ireland is so special to me, I took so many photos (I've never taken so much photos in my life lol).  Here are just some that I'd like to share with you all...

After spending Thanksgiving day breakfast and lunch at my parent’s house. I went home and zipped my luggages, rushed to the airport and departed for Copenhagen.  I’ve always wanted to visit Denmark ever since I was young. The atmosphere, the history and the culture excites me and I thought why not take this opportunity.  Yes, it was cold but I loved every minute of it. 

I flew to Madrid, Spain to escape the hot weather of Texas. However, it was even hotter over there! (many sweat infused tissues and several oil blotting sheets discarded haha). I attended a birthday celebration there and we took what it seemed like a thousand photos and we pigged out, we danced the night away and because photography is one of my hidden passions--even though my photography skills are abysmal I think--Madrid is really full of photo opportunities...

They say Chicago is the windy city, but when I was there it wasn't windy at all. I recently visited Chicago and by recently-meaning like last week. I have never been here before and I've always aspired to visit.  (Also, my co-worker Rebekah who lived there for 20 years encouraged me to). Plus, I didn't know there was a beach!

Last weekend, I flew to Seattle, Washington and had an amazing time with my cousins. I felt like I needed a short weekend to clear my mind, to de-stress and to relax.  The weather is amazing! Oh that's also one of the reasons why I flew to Seattle--to escape the hot and humid and lethal weather of Texas.  The temperature were in the 70s and at night it was even cooler.
