KidZania Manila - Play, Earn and Enjoy!

The Independence Fountain (Bache, Vita, and Urbano!)

Remember when you were a child and you used to do a roleplay with your playmates? Some of us took the role of a policeman while our unfortunate friend becomes the criminal? How about becoming a chef? fireman? doctor? The good old days!

Getting lost in Masasa Beach - 2018

"Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories, destroy nothing but stress" - Andrei Teofisto

It has been a long preparation and careful thinking where we will spend our summer vacation (i.e. my birthday+wedding anniversary). The first option was Pangasinan but I was too lazy. I ended up asking my friends if they can recommend white beaches near Manila and most of them suggested Quezon, Bataan, Zambales, and Aurora but then I've stumbled upon some vlogs on YouTube about this so-called Masasa Beach and researched the hell out of it.
