Straight out of Architectural Digest 👀

I had the pleasure of staying at ’s newest scene: Camper & Cabin Forest!

They are going to offer 3 cabins (Fir, Oak, and Pine) to the public soon. I’m sure everyone’s excited to enjoy and immerse themselves in nature with their stylish cabins.

I stayed at Pine. This cabin features an alcove bed, glass roof, outdoor tub, smart TV, Starlink, and a Tempur sleep set!

The best part was getting to see rain from the glass roof, while staying in bed, watching my favorite series and movies. If you’re a night person, it can get really bright in the morning, so I suggest bringing an eye mask. 👍🏼

The cherry on top was the food! They have an in-house restaurant, , which offers Vietnamese cuisine. The pho, prawn spring rolls, and the banh da lon (steamed cake) were great! I suggest you give these a try when you visit.

Special thank you to their team for the best service!

Cafe Breton has always been one of the places I look for whenever I am in dire need of comfort food 🥰

My go to’s whenever ordering is an egg casserole, a savory 7-cheese crêpe, hungarian sausage with caramelized onions, and their La Pinay for last!

Quick story time — their La Pinay introduced me to dessert crêpes! I didn’t even know what a crêpe was before when I was a kid. I would always drag my family to have dessert at their original Greenbelt branch.

All of their branches are super cozy and perfect for introverts like me who would like to read a book or watch their series in peace 😆

Tonight’s dinner at GRACE PARK.

Highly recommended for a night out to have endless conversations with company alongside delicious Filipino-inspired Italian food.

It is one of Margarita Forés’ restaurants which offers a farm-to-table experience.

Please try their spaghetti uni carbonara or baby crab fat and end your dinner with a side of mascarpone gelato. 🍨

A beautiful night to try Alegria Manila!

This Filipino and Latin American fusion recently relocated and opened their doors last October at the ground floor of Uptown Parade.

I have been here twice. They are known for their tasting menu, so on my second visit, I finally tried their 7-course with cocktail pairing. I loved how each dish is an elevated Filipino dish experience! Not only with the presentation, but, also the taste. I personally liked the Squid-silog and Ilocos Empanada Birria.

A bit on the expensive side, but hey, chefs are artists who put their talent with the food they make! You can celebrate your next birthday, date, or meeting here. 🍴

Alexa Approved Staycation - Casa Marina!

This bed and breakfast is located in the town of Pagsanjan, Laguna.

The property is a well-appointed vintage home with its own modern touches. An eight-bedroom house with an unbeatable view of the river.

They also have an in-house restaurant which serves Filipino comfort food!

I immediately fell in-love with the place because of its aesthetic. It feels like your own vacation home.

You can either grab a book and read all day long or choose a vinyl to play music at the living room.

If you want to explore the town, they are close to different tourist spots like waterfall sites, and they’d be glad to assist you on any information you might need.

Figuring out where to stay in Baguio?

I’ve got you covered! Say hello to your next staycation — Cabin Dreams (Cabin Dreams).

This a-frame modern cabin is located at Tuding Rd, Itogon. It is a 5-minute from the Mansion and Wright Park.

You have the cabin all to yourselves! Whether if it’s with family or friends.

The place is a 4-bedroom haven with the coziest living room and dining area you can dream of.

I felt I was back in San Francisco because of the interior design!

Did I also mention the place is pet-friendly? It is one of the factors why I immediately booked the trip! My fur-baby enjoyed roaming around like it was his own home.

I loved how the owners (Jay and Rachel) put a lot of effort in making our stay comfortable all throughout. They offered free local coffee upon arrival, and kept constant communication with me!

They have a caretaker on standby to assist you with any concerns you might have. We requested extra blankets and it was given to us right away.

There are things that you should take note of!

The cabin is made out of wood, which means you can hear everything in the place, like footsteps or doors opening / closing.

Also, you will be needing a car to travel comfortably in and out of the cabin since it’s located inside a subdivision. No public transportation nearby based on my observation.

If you want to see what the bedrooms look like, you can head over to my story highlights and check out the tour.

You can book through the AirBnb app or just click (https://abnb.me/KxMzcXDq7rb) to see the next available dates!
