Mövenpick Hotel, Cebu: A 5-Star Birthday
With a throbbing head and a brewing tonsilitis induced by a drinking spree + an all-nighter karaoke session, I impatiently paced around Mövenpick Hotel’s reception area.

Zimbabwe E-Visa Application
(Above photo taken from Ilala Lodge’s website. Ilala will be our home in Victoria Falls) Whatta breeze. Yesterday, I received my Zimbabwe e-visa application result: An authorization to pay for visa on arrival (Zimbabwe e-visa price US$30) at the port of entry (in our case, the Victoria Falls border).

Photo Essay: Machu Picchu (Or, That Day Luna Started Walking By Herself)

She can’t remember the tens of airports she passed through (though the memory lingers briefly for she’s got a photographic…

Simplé Lang, Makati, Philippines: Not Plain Simple
I am currently sulking in my Australian woman cave because my shire’s summer has decided to act like me during that time of the month: Intensely moody. Don’t get me wrong, I love bed weather days. What I don’t like is having the craving for Filipino food, especially when I’m 6,000+ kilometers away from home…
