4 Best Things To Do in Singapore (After Pandemic- 18 to 24 months)

     Singapore will always have a special place in my heart. The first country that I've been to thrice in a span of ten years- 2008, 2016, and 2019. I lived there for three months in 2008, joined the Safeguard Science Discovery Tour with my son last 2016, and had a short vacation with my family to celebrate my son's birthday last June. There are so many things to do in Singapore. Shopping at the famous shopping spot- Bugis Shopping Centre, eating and drinking to your heart's content at Hawker Centers, exploring Lion City from day to night to watch different attractions and many more!

     However, all of these will be put on hold if you are planning to travel this year. According to health experts and travel authorities, it would take up to 18 to 24 months for the travel industry to recover, and traveling will never be the same again. There will be a lot of changes- expensive plane tickets, additional requirements aside from passport and visa, long hours from boarding to departure for necessary checks, and the list will go on before reaching your destination. Let's face reality and still hope for the best that this pandemic will be over soon so that we can all travel safely once we are really back to normalcy. Sharing 4 Best Things To Do in Singapore based on what we did last year :)

My Japan Lifestyle Haul

     Hi dearies! Hope everyone's having a great week so far. I miss writing this kind of blog post. When I was starting, I write a haul post weekly because I want to share what I bought from my weekend shopping. I'm always on the look for new and exciting things thus I'll buy them and feature here on the blog. Shopping for beauty products is my kind of retail therapy that I seldom do these days. What we shop weekly now are necessities because of adulting!

     Anyhoo, I'm a fan of Japanese culture. I love everything- Japan!!! From food, toys, fashion, and my fave- beauty, I always make sure to try the latest in these categories. When I was in Japan last March, I had a chance to shop for items that I rarely found here in the Philippines. Read more below to see my Japan haul, enjoy!

Red Ribbon Triple Chocolate Roll

     Ways on enjoying your chocolate roll: Dip a finger to get the first taste of the decadent icing, savor the cake until its last slice or, like Bianca Gonalzez, go for the sweet milk-chocolatey toppings first. If you do any of the above, you are a certified ChocoRollic! 

     For me, I dip my finger in the chocolate icing for more than once. I want to enjoy the decadent icing first before getting myself a slice. I'm a sweet tooth and Red Ribbon's Triple Chocolate Roll got me covered not once, not twice, but thrice the chocolate goodness!!!

     It's time to sweeten up the holidays as Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory opens their second branch in the south. Experience pure joy inside the cozy factory themed store and delight your senses with the chocolate-filled window display. I was literally in chocolate heaven last November 28, 2017, when I attended their grand opening.

     I don't have any idea about Rocky Mountain when I got the invite that's why I was so surprised to see the shop's display of unique chocolate treats like hand-dipped caramel apples, freshly dipped bananas and cheesecakes, and larger-than-life-chocolates.
