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. π
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 horizon of the ocean—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! (˶α΅ α΅ α΅˶)
Thank you once again to Cebu Pacific Air for making our trip truly memorable. ♥︎

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, jidΕhanbaiki, 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. •α΄•

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. γ

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! ◝(α΅α΅α΅)◜
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. (˶˃ α΅ ˂˶)
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! (ΰ©˃α΄˂)ΰ©
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. ♥︎
