Another Mission Accomplished: Our DFA Passport Experience

By
    Another mission checked off our family’s list this year—we finally renewed our passports! It had been over a decade since we last had them updated, and this time, it was extra special because our youngest applied for his very first passport. Back when we were just a family of three, our first (and last) trip abroad was to Hong Kong. Our eldest was just a year old then. Since that trip, life got busy, and renewing our passports kept getting pushed back—year after year. Booking a passport appointment these days isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Everything has to be done online, and every time I checked the DFA website, the slots in the satellite office near us were always fully booked. Eventually, I gave up trying—until a colleague mentioned DFA San Pablo City in Laguna. It's about an hour and a half (or two, depending on traffic) from our place. Out of curiosity, I checked their schedule and, to my surprise, found several open slots. I didn’t waste a second—I booked o...

Bakit Wala Ka Pa Ring Jowa? 5 Possible Reasons Why You're Still Single

Image
By



Have you ever found yourself thinking:
🤔 "Pogi/maganda naman ako, pero bakit walang nagkakagusto sa akin?"
😩 "Mas gwapo/maganda naman ako sa kanya, pero siya may jowa na!"
💔 "Nasa akin na ang lahat—jowa na lang ang kulang! Where na u?"

Kung relate ka, baka isa ka sa mga naghihintay pa rin ng the one. Pero bago ka mag-emote, here are five possible reasons why you're still single:

  1. 12 years old ka pa lang—aral muna bago jowa. Love can wait, but your grades can’t. Priorities first!
  2. Either you’re too good for them, or you’ve set your standards too high. It’s okay to aim high, but love isn’t a checklist—it's about connection.
  3. You’re too serious with work or too focused on family. Love won’t knock if your door is always closed—find balance in work, life, and romance. Pero kung married ka na, magtigil ka—keep your eyes locked on your family!
  4. Your eyes are fixated on your crush, pero masaklap—hindi ka niya crush. Stop chasing the wrong person, and you might find the right one waiting.
  5. It’s not yet the right time—baka hindi pa napapanganak ang The One mo! Love is all about timing. When it's meant to be, it will happen effortlessly.

In the meantime, enjoy life, focus on self-growth, and trust the journey—because being single isn’t a curse, it’s a season of preparation for something better!

The Ultimate Guide to Starting an Airbnb Business with Your Vacation Home

By
  An unfortunate staycation experience inspired our family to acquire a condominium unit in Tagaytay as both our vacation house and a source of passive income. Initially, we planned to acquire a lot near our residence, but our plans shifted when our Aunt Elpy offered a preselling condominium unit she had learned about from a registered broker, Ms. Joy. While we were initially hesitant about the complexities of owning a condominium, issues with the prospective lot owner led us to explore this option seriously. The unit is located on Bonifacio Drive, Brgy. Silang Crossing West, Tagaytay. The developer, owned by a reputable political family, has a credible track record, assuring us the project would push through. At the time of our visit, the first tower was already constructed, with plans for a second tower underway. However, the model unit was situated in a different barangay where the developer’s sister subdivision is located. Despite its compact size (approximately 23.7 square met...

Sorteo Festival of Carmona: A Celebration of Heritage and Community

By
  The Sorteo Festival is a unique triennial tradition in Carmona, Cavite, deeply rooted in the town's agricultural heritage. Established in 1861, just four years after Carmona—formerly known as Barrio Latag—became an independent municipality (formerly part of Silang, Cavite), the festival's name derives from the Spanish word " sorteo ," meaning raffle or lottery . Historically, this event served as a public lottery to allocate communal agricultural lands to deserving farmers, ensuring equitable land distribution among residents. Over the years, the Sorteo Festival has evolved to remain relevant to the community's needs. While the original practice focused on raffling agricultural lands, recent developments have expanded to include substantial cash prizes. For instance, the 2025 festival offered 450 prizes of ₱50,000 each, 50 prizes of ₱100,000 each, five prizes of ₱200,000 each, and five prizes of ₱300,000 each. This shift reflects the local government's comm...
