    Completed my first marathon!

    by Haifa Carina February 28, 2018

      After 6 months of dedication, mental struggle and finding time to squeeze in trainings, the moment I crossed the finish line, I couldn’t be any happier that finally mission complete! Why did I run a marathon in the first place? It’s #14 of my bucket list. Plus I wanted to lose weight and cardio is the way to go! I registered for The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2018 as it catered for first time marathon runners. Best decision ever! What was my training like? Tuesdays and Thursdays I would go to the running oval with my trainer and do…

    Alex Band and The Calling Live in Manila

    Bucket List #20: Watch an international artist/band’s concert – front row! CHECK! I watched The Calling concert earlier (November 11) at the Mall of Asia Arena. It was my first international artist/band concert and its one my favorite childhood/teen band so I made sure to get access to the first row for bucket list purposes. Quite pricey but definitely worth it!

    Coron, Palawan: The Ultimate Tour

    by Haifa Carina August 4, 2015
    by Haifa Carina August 4, 2015

    My favourite part of our Coron trip has to be the island hopping with our very wacky tour guides! Coron is located separately from the Palawan mainland. They boast of their pristine white beaches and beautiful underwater sights (corals and fishes). We arrived there late afternoon and stayed at a gueshouse 5mins away from town proper. While looking for a place to eat and buy midnight snacks, we got to interact with the locals. We found out their local dialect is Cuyonon but most of them speak tagalog and many of them understand Bisaya (like me!).

    Malaysia: Petronas Twin Towers, Legoland and Batu Caves

    by Haifa Carina April 3, 2015

    Malaysia is the home of the Petronas Twin Towers (Word’s Tallest Building from 1998-2013 and currently ranks 6th) and the first Legoland Park in Asia. Our first destination in Malaysia was Legoland! We rode a bus from Singapore Flyer then crossing the Singapore-Malaysia border and reaching Johor Bahru where Legoland Malaysia is located. In Legoland, we were given stamp cards to complete in order to win prizes (Grand Prize was an overnight stay at the Lego Hotel). For the sake of the stamps, we braved ourselves into riding all rides even the crazy wet ones! We also did the Dr.…
