South Korea 2017 DIY Itinerary


Months after our wedding, our honeymoon trip finally arrives! YEY!!!

Since BJ and I cannot leave work for long continues weeks. Plus our wedding happened in June, which is summer in most 4-seasoned countries. We'd like to experience all 4-seasons since we leave in a tropical country. We opt to delay our honeymoon trip just in time for autumn.

We were in argument first on where to go. I've always wanted to go to South Korea ever since I got addicted to K-Drama (so that's around 10 years) and BJ would like to explore the Kansai Region in Japan (since we weren't able to go there last year). We, at some point, considered going in both since there are budget airlines travelling between these two countries. After continued arguments, we eventually ended up going to South Korea. Yey for me. :)

Knowing that autumn foliage is quite unpredictable, we decided to find a late October to early November flight. This is because we're targeting the last part of autumn which showcase different hues of leaves.

Upon scouting different budget airlines going to Seoul, we ended up getting AirAsia's lone flight from Manila to Seoul. They only have 1 direct flight a day to and from Seoul and Manila but they have daily schedules so you'll be able to choose your desired dates (as of writing).

We then check Agoda and Airbnb for places to stay. We opt to find an apartment or hotel in the Seoul Station area for us to better navigate our way in the city. We ended up getting a humble studio type Airbnb Apartment owned by Maikle.

Without further adieu, below is our daily itinerary. I'll try to create individual post per day.
Day 1 - Arrival
Day 2 - Gapyeong Region - Nami Island, Petite France, and Garden of Morning Calm
Day 3 - Everland and Dongdaemun
Day 4 - Palaces - Changdeokgung, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gyeongbokgung
Day 5 - Namsan Tower and Myeongdong
Day 6 - Departure

Caramoan Islands 2017

Almost a year after our Naga-Legaspi trip , we are back to a more bum-numbing 14 hour trip to Caramoan Island in Bicol. Many would ask why would I subject myself to this self torture. But once you're there you'll be asking yourself why not. With a storm land-falling in North Luzon that night, some of our companions were hesitant to leave. Some even bailed. But hell with it. We're going south anyways so the trip must go on. So, after ordering a to-go dinner we were bound to Bicol. After what felt like a forever drive, we finally arrived in Presentacion, a humble municipality in Camarines Sur prior to Caramoan. After a heavy brunch and a couple of hours rest, we headed out to start the day. We went to an island named Aguirangan. Just 10 minutes from the main island you can walk around the island in less than 30 minutes. But with its stunning white sand and rock formations you'll definitely be awed by its beauty. I was even able to see an octopus h...

Wedding Supplier Ratings and Reviews

I know, I promised to update this page as much as I can but its been months since my last entry. Reason? I GOT MARRIED. Yes. You read that right. After (literally) 10 years, we finally got married. And we got super busy these past few months. That's why I had to pause updating this blog. Anyhow, its been 2 weeks since our dream wedding. And this entry will center mainly on our reviews and ratings for our chosen suppliers whom helped us to fulfill our dream wedding. 1. Primary Hotel - Crosswinds Resorts Suites ★★★★     BJ attended a wedding and the couple had this hotel as their prep hotel. He immediately told me that it will be perfect if we'll have it as our prep hotel as well. So I booked 2 2-Bedroom Suites months prior our wedding through Agoda. I had it at almost half its published price.  Photo c/o my FB Page     I wasn't able to get the actual photos of the suite (syempre excited). But the whole place was super worth your money. The suit...
