 Hi! How was your Chinese New Year? I saw a lot of food vlogs from Manila Chinatown and it made me curious. You know, I would love to explore new places and try their cuisine. So visiting Manila Chinatown won't be complete without food trip! Yum! It was just a quick little trip before my departure back to Davao. I had few hours left to explore so I researched beforehand the foods that I wanted to try. According to Wikipedia, "Binondo" is a district of Manila referred to as the city's Chinatown.

Coming from our province where I live, it took me so much time and effort to travel to the Cordillera region but it was okay, anyway. I know that every good dea...

Happy New Year!!! What's your resolution for this year? By the way, I've been asking myself as an introvert... "Do I really need to have a lot of friends?" "Do I really need to be kind to everyone?" "Can I be successful with just small circle of friends?" "Is it worth spending my time and energy building connections?" "Am I wasting a lot of opportunities for being a private person?" As an introvert, I've been guilty of these thoughts when surrounded with a lot of people. I admit that my social battery is limited, so most of the time  I only interact with people when needed. But deep inside, somehow, I want my craft to be discovered. It's a bit contradictory when I prefer to keep my privacy but wants to gain validation from audience at the same time. XD I joined an online community and saw someone who had the same struggle as me. And turns out, most people recommend networking to be successful because they believe that ...
