Exploring Singapore At Night Alone
Singapore is, for me, an absolute joy to watch at night. From the mesmerizing Supertree Groves in Gardens by the Bay to the iconic Merlion, Singapore dazzles and exudes a magical aura, with its gleaming nighttime spectacles. As a matter of fact, Singapore is so beautiful at night that I almost completely forgot that I was roaming around this hub alone.

And like any savvy traveler, I didn’t let this rare opportunity slip away. …

Cebu Taoist Temple: A Majestic Shrine With Elaborate Designs And Gorgeous Views
Cebu Taoist Temple is a gorgeous, laid-back and elaborate shrine that evokes a sense of peace as well as warm memories of my childhood. From family trips to educational school tours, I’ve been to this shrine on numerous occasions and have admired its beauty, ever since I was a toddler. And during my recent visit to this temple, I just can’t help, but remember the good times during my childhood and teenage days. But, I didn’t come to Taoist Temple, over a week ago, just for nostalgia’s sake. It’s been a while since I’ve made a sojourn to this place, and I wanted to see if it has retained its…
