If you are a regular reader of my blog and or you follow me on my socials, you will notice that I and my furbaby are always hunting pet-friendly restaurants in Manila. In fact, we just visited Pause Pet Lodge and Family Cafe just recently to have my furbaby Ollie eat what they offer from their pet menu. Well, actually this was unexpected. We have long been planning to go to SM By The Bay to check them out but we can't find the right time. It finally happened after we joined a pet-friendly event in Manila. Dubbed as Holi Festival of Colors in Manila, we started walking to the left of the ro ..read more

I am always on the lookout of pet-friendly events in Manila. That is why I was so happy when I learned that Holi Festival of Colors in Manila, an Indian cultural event allow dogs since it is always held in an outdoor location. My first attendance of Holi Festival in Manila was in 2016 as a content creator covering this event. The ticket was sponsored and in exchange I made a blog feature about it. You may click HERE to read it. Even though it was my first time attending Holi Festival in Manila, I had fun and so I decided to join once again like everyone else. I paid for my entry ticket ..read more

Blogapalooza is one of the earliest Manila-based influencer marketing company I have ever known. In fact, it was in 2013 when I joined its annual event connecting content creators to brands. Back then, "content creators" and "influencers" are unknown words. The keywords are "bloggers" which yours truly belong and later on Instagram(mers), Youtu(bers) and Tiktok(ers) came next. I also joined Blogapalooza's very first paid masterclass called Influencerprenuer back in 2020. Pandemic happened so I moved back to Sorsogon living there for 2 years so I was basically out of reach in the conte ..read more

White Banana Manila is a hostel. Yes, that is correct. Of all the places, I never really thought this pet-friendly hostel is real in Makati. I do not know about White Banana Manila until a guy from Couchsurfing who messaged me back in February said he is staying here.  I am one of the OG's on Couchsurfing - a Facebook for travelers. Haven't really used this platform for a while but a doglover from Europe sent me message about wanting to hang out with a fellow doglover.  I am a fan of Eatigo even before pandemic. I have eaten literally in dozens of restaurants because of Eatig ..read more

I learned about Baker J during our trip to Timberland Highlands Resort. Baker J is the resident cafe inside this majestic resort sitting on top of the upper slopes with a mesmerizing view of skyscrapers in Manila. With its pastel color, delicious pastries especially the meringue/cake with mango flavor and Parisian vibe, Baker J left quite a mark in my mind. I quickly followed the Instagram account of Baker J. That is when I learned that they have already opened one in BGC.  Baker J BGC did a contest on IG that I joined and surprisingly won. The prizes were Afternoon Tea Set, maca ..read more

The first week of my February was spent in late lunch in Goto Believe, BGC after my workout in a pet-friendly gym in BGC too.  I am not really a fan of goto but from time to time, I crave for it. I was not expecting anything outstanding about goto but Goto Believe in BGC proved me wrong. The many versions of their goto are very interesting and really taste good. I am not eating pork, chicken and beef so I opted for deep fried creamy dory as toppings. It turned out to be the perfect combo. I asked to serve the innards separately which is a typical ingredient of goto. I brought it hom ..read more

  Sharing my personal review ng Pet Play's hamburger pet toy if worth it nga ba sya. Actually, my dog loves anything that squeaks so I bought this during the opening of Sommerset Millenium Makati's indoor pet park. Isa ang Bobba's Barkyard sa mga merchants so binili ko ito kasi mahilig sa toys na na tumutunog ang dog ko.  Detachable sya na toy made of 3 parts. The top and bottom both squeak when pressed or in case of my dog, when he bites these. The middle part wala lang. Kaya hindi pinapansin ng dog ko. Actually, pwede daw palamanan or lagyan ng bite size na treats in between pa ..read more
