Chocolate Hills, Bohol :)


Chocolate Hills is the most famous tourist spot of Bohol .The hills are scattered throughout the towns of Carmen, Sagbayan and Batuan, and consist of 1,268 of the same general shape. It has been declared as the country's 3rd National Geological Monument in recognition of its special characteristics, scientific importance, uniqueness and scenic value.


If you are looking for a nature based experience, do not miss the Chocolate Hills! The 200+ steps up leading to the viewing point looks intimidating but they are totally worth it. You may also try the extreme and muddy atv ride for a closer look at the hills and the towns. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture this very picturesque scene!

Suzuki Motors x Rogue Magazine's Sea Expo 2011



A throwback post! Because I miss doing events and trade shows. :) I think this was my last project as a promotional model before I jumped into the corporate world. Promo modelling is not just-having-a-pretty-face job, you need to be flexible during events, always smile and look approachable, and study the brand/product that you'll be promoting. Promo models are here to increase sales and create a positive brand image. They make things more fun and more interesting! Lets just say your having a shit day then an attractive person greeted you and it makes you smile inside. Suddenly your shit day becomes less shitty. Yes, for a moment, they make you feel better about your life.



All photos were taken at Rogue Magazine's Sea Expo 2011. I was teenager back then. (tweenteen) Lol!

Underwater Adventure in Boracay


Boracay is known for its clear blue water, powdery white sands, beautiful sunset, fun water activities and of course, nightlife! The first time I was here was so memorable. It was a very different experience for me since I was with my friends (yup! first time to travel without my familySo na-peer pressure ako. Haha! I became more adventurous. I got to try helmet diving, parasailing, buggy car ride and banana boat ride. What makes it more special to me, is that I celebrated my 22nd birthday here. A happy birthday, indeed! :)

Btw, this is my first blog post! (Woohooo!!!) How about you, when was the last time you did something for the first time?
