Tucked in the corner of Podium you’ll find a little spot with impressive interiors. During the day, Ca Va Creperie and Floral Atelier fills with sunlight. You’ll find different nooks that you want to photograph, the important question though - how is the food?
You normally come across Bolinao or the Hundred Islands when Pangasinan is mentioned. Have you ever heard of Tondol Beach in Anda? I found this gem thanks to the feature by Window Seat. It was my first time to ever hear of this town and it got me curious. At this point, it had been 6 long months since my toes spent time on the beach and I needed some vitamin sea. Tondol isn’t exactly for everyone, but read on below if it’s the right fit for you.
The last time I blogged about the light show was in 2013 but I’ve been showing up! It has been an unspoken tradition to visit it yearly with my cousins. I may have missed a year or two but I have more checks than absences! 2018 saw the Disney takeover for the 10 anniversary.
If you’ve been reading the blog for quite some time (hugs your way) you may know that it has been my tradition to go away for my birthday. Sadly I was unable to properly plan anything for this year so as a compromise; I decided to have a me-day in Manila instead. This is not a packed a itinerary. It’s one of those chill-er ones. You know when you go off to an adventure and you say “I need a vacation from my vacation”? This is the vacation you need after.
Do you know how much I love this place? If it were walking distance from my house I would be here several times in a week. That would mean bad news for my waistline since I’ve been trying to eat better but it is a worthy temptation and reward on a cheat day.
Summer is one of the best times to hang out at rooftop bars/restaurants because there is a low chance of rain. It may be haaaaawt but hopefully you go on a windy day to curb the humidity.
I’ve associated the Old Swiss Inn Restaurant with special occasions. As a kid our family would celebrate a birthday or my parent’s wedding anniversary there. As an adult, my foodie barkada and I had our annual Christmas reunion there not too long ago.
