Recently, I flew directly from Cebu to San Vicente, Palawan, for the first time! Cebu Pacific Air has opened this new route four times weekly: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This makes this stunning destination more accessible for travelers like us who are seeking the longest beach in the Philippines. 🌊
It was my first time visiting San Vicente, and I was amazed by the beauty of the long beach. The pristine turquoise water is exceptionally clear, allowing me to see the corals and fish swimming around. As someone who enjoys the beach, there’s nothing more soothing than the sound of waves crashing, the feel of warm sand underfoot, and the endless ocean horizon—it’s where my soul feels at home.
If you want to see the longest beach in the Philippines, I highly recommend visiting San Vicente in Palawan—and booking your trip via Cebu Pacific Air for a smooth journey! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Tokyo’s streets are an electric dream—captured in fleeting moments, each snapshot a piece of modern history. Capturing the heart of Japan’s street culture—ramen stalls, jidōhanbaiki, and izakayas, where each alley whispers its story. I was amazed by the beauty of Mount Fuji. We visited Yamanakako Hana no Miyako Park and took many photos there. •ᴗ•
Photo 1 & 2: Ueno Park | Photo 3: Fujisan Station | Photo 4, 5, 6, 7, 8: Yamanakako Hana no Miyako Park | Photo 9: Ueno Park
Visiting Japan has always been a dream of mine. The moment I arrived in this country, I felt bliss and delight. Before this trip, I could only watch Japan travel vlogs on YouTube, and now my dream has finally come true. ㅤ♡
Photo 1 - 9: Streets of Iidabashi
Photo 1 - 9: Shinjuko & Shibuya
Photo 1 - 3: Ueno Park : | Photo 4: Iidabashi Station | Photo 5: Shinjuku | Photo 6 - 7: Tokyo Bay | Photo 8: Iidabashi Streets | Photo 9: Ueno Park
I finally purchased my first-ever dream bag in Tokyo: a Polene Mini Cyme bag with beautiful waves, folds, and curves that can be used in two ways. The moment I saw it in person, I couldn’t believe I was holding such a stunning piece of craftsmanship. The rich Italian textured calf leather, exquisite design, and perfect size made it a must-have for me. I chose the cognac color as it matches some of the outfits I have in my wardrobe. As I walked out of the boutique with the bag proudly in hand, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and accomplishment. It truly was a magical moment for me! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜
I had a great time during my one-week stay in Japan, even though it was short. I enjoyed shopping at Don Quijote to my heart's content, especially since I’m unsure when I’ll be able to visit again. The thing I missed the most was the food and our late-night konbini runs for breakfast. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
The camera I use for my retro vintage shots is the Kodak Pixpro FZ55. It's a versatile and user-friendly point-and-shoot camera, perfect for everyday photography, travel, and capturing special moments. The camera is rechargeable and its compact size makes it easy to store in a bag. It's very handy! (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭
As my journey through Japan ended, I couldn’t help but reflect on the vibrant culture, the warm hospitality, and the breathtaking sights that made every moment unforgettable. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene scenes of Mt. Fuji, each experience felt like stepping into a new world of discovery.
Japan has a way of blending the ancient with the modern in a seamless harmony that left me inspired and longing for more. This trip may be over, but the memories and lessons I’ve gathered will stay with me. Until the next adventure, Japan—arigatou gozaimasu. ♥︎

Delivering the spirit of love to their Ka-pandas, foodpanda logistics once again granted the dream wedding wishes of their delivery partners!
Last year, three Ka-pandas and their longtime partners experienced wedding celebrations courtesy of foodpanda logistics. This year, the love train accelerated as 14 lucky delivery partners nationwide were selected to celebrate a grand wedding. “A wedding organized by us, for our delivery partners, is an unforgettable milestone in their lives that they will forever cherish,” said Ron Sanders, foodpanda logistics Philippines Rider Experience Lead.
Discover the romantic journeys of some of these Ka-pandas, who celebrated their unions with their better halves during the most romantic time of the year – the love month.
Love delivered through thick and thin
Ka-panda Glen Oton shares his journey of celebrating love with his partner. From overcoming financial struggles to cherishing moments of togetherness, they braved life's storms hand in hand. “May mga hindi man pagkakaintindihan, pinipili pa rin naming ayusin sa dulo,” Glen revealed.
“Malaking tulong ang Kasalang Ka-panda sa pagkamit namin ng aming pangarap na ikasal sa isa’t isa.” In a beautiful ceremony, Glen and his partner stood before their closest friends and family, sharing heartfelt vows of love and commitment to each other.
Through it all
From high school sweethearts to building a family together, Albert Cabañelez has been with his partner since 2004, and they have been blessed with three children. But, one simple wish remained constant – to tie the knot.
“Hindi namin hangad ang isang mala-fairy tale na kasalan kasi sobrang sapat na sa akin ang mai-kasal sa aking minamahal at masaya kami na naibigay ito ni foodpanda logistics sa amin,” Albert shared.
Never too late
Rodrigo Goyon Bongais Jr, a former tricycle driver, has shared 15 years of his life with his partner and two lovely daughters. Yet, even as their lives seem complete, there is still a missing chapter they long to unfold – saying “I do”. “Kumpleto na ang buhay namin, kasal na lang talaga ang kulang. Kaya hiling ko lang sana na maikasal kaming magpartner bago ako tumungtong ng 50,” Rodrigo mentioned.
Thanks to foodpanda logistics’ Kasalang Ka-panda initiative, a promise turned to a reality. “Sobrang natuwa ang partner ko dahil natupad na ang pangarap naming ito kasi sobrang tagal ko na talagang pinangako sa kanya na pakakasalan ko siya,” he added.
In addition to the wedding festivities, foodpanda also showered its delivery partners with generous gifts and giveaways from sponsors, along with their adorable mascot, who played the role of "Ninong" Pau-Pau.
Other Ka-pandas also got a special Valentine's Kit to surprise their loved ones, using their hard-earned Bamboo Rewards.
The Bamboo Rewards program, initiated by foodpanda logistics for its delivery partners, enables them to get in-app points for each completed delivery. These points can later be redeemed for various items, including vouchers, merchandise, electronics, vehicle accessories, etc.
“We're happy that we got to celebrate Valentine's Day with our Ka-pandas in such a meaningful way, and we hope that they treasure these precious moments,” Sanders remarked. “Kasalang Ka-panda is just one example of cherishing their unique stories and how we show that we see them, we acknowledge their journeys, and we're always thinking ahead to make their experience special."
