CEB Super Pass: One-way flight voucher to any PH destination for only PHP99

     It's a no-brainer that we all missed traveling. Our much-needed rest and relaxation were put on hold because of the pandemic and it is undeniable that a lot of Filipinos have been wanting to safely go out and travel again – to see some of the Philippines’ world-class beaches and historical sites, or to visit family and friends. Travel bans are happening here and there that's why we have decided to set aside our itineraries until we are back to normalcy.

     I know how stressful it is to rebook or refund a plane ticket at present times that's why this SUPER exciting news from Cebu Pacific Air will bring #MoreSmilesAhead for everyJuan. As the Philippines’ leading carrier continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary, it came up with another innovative product to address everyJuan’s need for utmost flexibility, coupled with the lowest fares. Introducing another first-of-its-kind product that will let travelers buy all they can, and fly when they can across CEB’s widest domestic network – the CEB Super Pass that is offered for a limited time from May 5 until May 12, 2021.

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 :)

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Hotel Hong Kong

     Last June 4, 2018, we had an advanced birthday celebration of my son in Hong Kong for 3 days 2 nights stay with a full day itinerary at Ocean Park. I've been to Hong Kong for thrice already and there are still so many exciting places to see. My first visit was when I was three months pregnant with my son then another trip followed on my 6th month where we visited Hong Kong Disneyland.

      We booked a different hotel this time unlike the first and second visit because the accommodation was included with the airfare that my husband booked from a travel agency. On our third visit (my son's first), I DIY our booking and customized it so we can have our own time. After searching for a hotel that is easy on the budget and near the MRT station, I finally found the one that I will recommend to family and friends- Caritas Bianchi Lodge. Sharing a room tour and our experience after the jump.

Legoland Hotel Malaysia Adventure Themed Room- Rates, Photos, Review

     Have you read my Legoland Malaysia Water Park post? If not, click here what happened on our day 1 in Legoland Malaysia :) To those who are planning to visit Legoland, complete your experience by booking an overnight stay at the Legoland Hotel. Yes, a trip to Legoland will not be complete without this experience that's why I decided to give it a go instead of booking a hotel near the area.

     Our main itinerary last June 11-14 was to celebrate my son's 10th birthday at Legoland Malaysia. We arrived at Singapore on June 11 and stayed one night there before going to Malaysia the next day, June 12. I booked our Legoland Hotel room online and chose the cheapest rate (it's one week to go before the chosen date that's why most of the rooms were higher than usual). Room rate a week before our arrival is around P15,000/night and only a few themed rooms left. I asked my son which themed room where he likes to stay and he chose the Adventure Themed Room over the Pirate one.

     I believe that traveling is important because it gives a once in a lifetime experience seeing the beauty of the country or the place that you'll visit. It's also the time where you'll get to spend time with your family and have that so-called 'me-time' while creating memories for a lifetime. This is one of the many reasons why I work hard and save a lot in order for me to treat my family for an annual out of the country vacation.

     In our second year, we decided to celebrate my son's 10th birthday in Legoland Malaysia. We had our 4-day vacation last June 11-14, 2019. It was a Singapore-Malaysia trip because based on my research, the fastest way to reach Legoland Malaysia is to travel by train or bus from Singapore. I will muse more about this awesome experience after the jump!

Feature: CEB Meals

     Our flight back to Manila was squeezed in between breakfast and lunch that’s why I decided to include pre-ordered meals which I booked together with our tickets. While browsing the website, I noticed that Cebu Pacific has new menu offerings, with vegetarian options and an array of snacks ad meals that include Asian cuisines. 

     Cebu Pacific showcases Asian Flavors in its new pre-ordered meals for snacks and meals that include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean delights. Each meal is offered P250 and upon seeing the selection, I was relieved that some viands are our favorites. Sharing CEB Meals viands we ate during our flight back home inside Cebu Pacific Aircraft.

     I always tell my husband that I'm not good at directions so if you don't want to get lost, don't bother asking me "how to get there?" or "are we near this or that place?" especially when traveling abroad.  Reading guide maps don't help at all that's why a stable internet connection is our best friend when we visit a foreign land.

     If you are a first-timer abroad or you're a frequent flyer, staying connected is now a must-have in every traveler’s journey. According to Ms. Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution, "we have looked into how we may delight our passengers further and make more moments happen on their travels so no more #FOMO for Cebu Pacific passengers with the launch of CEB WiFi Kit. One of the essentials that a traveler must have to access the internet anytime, anywhere. More about the CEB WiFi Kit after the jump :)

Our Wonderful Ocean Park Hong Kong Experience via Klook Travel Philippines

     Hong Kong is one of the international destinations that I will highly recommend to families traveling with kids for an awesome vacation. There are so many family and kid-friendly attractions in this country aside from shopping and food tripping. I've been to Hong Kong thrice and I will never get tired of coming back for more vacations in the years to come.

     We celebrated my son's 9th birthday in one of my dream amusement park destinations located in the Southern District of Hong Kong- OCEAN PARK :) It is the second largest in the country and considered as one massive park because it's also a marine park, an oceanarium, an animal theme park in one. We spent half a day at Ocean Park because there was an unexpected typhoon during our visit but there were no regrets because we all had a blast. Sharing our experience, tips, and what to expect at Ocean Park Hong Kong and why it is best to book your tickets online via Klook :)

Fear of Flying and How to Overcome It

     Fear of flying is something very common among human beings. We're made to move over our limbs, barely rising from the ground we're standing on. It's, therefore, a very natural phobia that has many people, there's no reason for shame. Anyway, if you want to go one step further and face your fear, here you have some tips that will help you to be flying all the time.

How to Survive Traveling with Your Partner

     The best way to get to know someone is to travel with them. No matter how well you think you know someone, traveling is still a new challenge in itself. For most couples, going somewhere new doesn’t come easily. It not only takes practice but also patience. 

     On the one hand, it doesn’t make much sense. Shouldn’t traveling with your partner be easy since you love spending time with them so much? Think of it this way: you probably don’t spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with them (or anyone). You’ve probably heard a horror story or two from someone you know who traveled with their partner only to break up immediately after returning home. These stories are more common than you think.
