My apologies for taking so long in writing this continuation of my Cambodia trip series. To answer the question from my previous post, the grandest attraction inside Angkor Thom is the Bayon Temple which stands enigmatically at the very center of the walled city. (Sacred Destinations) To initially unlock its mystery, the strategic location of […]
Year: 2016
Saving My First Kiss
Being a teenage girl with raging hormones – I missed out on that. Going to the prom with a date – I missed out on that. Receiving love notes, flowers, chocolates – I missed out on that. Having hatid-sundo – I missed out on that too. Oh, there are just so many things that I’ve […]

The Other Side of Mae @ 5!
Five years ago, I started a blog. A blog not grand, a blog unnoticeable, a blog intended only to document my simple life. But to my surprise, along came people reading me.

Feature Friday: Puesto, Misamis Occidental Restaurant
Photo Grabbed from Maria Suzanne Saulong Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun! Puesto is the Spanish word for post.
