16:00 10/09/2015 Cebu is our ideal connecting hub whenever we travel home to Davao or going back in KL. Why not Manila?

The rapid urban development in Malacca is wholly undeniable. The once quaint town we had admired had slowly picked up the fast pace of urbanized city like KL.

Temporary Abode: Victoria Suites Cagayan de Oro City Philippines
12:00 PM 06/06/2014 It was quite of a challenge looking for single hotel room in Cagayan de Oro that could accommodate a family of four plus two kids.

Domestic Guesthouse Budget Hotel, Manila Philippines
14:20 14/12/2013 Right after Air Asia Zest lured us with an irresistible cheapo airfare. We already anticipated sleeping over in the airport, burning the time before our next earliest flight.
