Wild and Sassy

It’s not my first time traveling with 2GO — the first one was way back in 2019 — but this recent trip felt like a fresh experience. I decided to explore the Philippines a little differently this time, not by plane, but by sea. I booked my 2GO Travel ferry via Klook and sailed from Batangas to Caticlan — a slow, scenic journey that reminded me how beautiful it is to take your time and just enjoy the ride.

When people ask what I do, I usually say, “I’m a freelancer.”

And then I pause — because that one word can mean a lot of things and not everyone understands it. Freelancing is working independently, taking on projects for different clients instead of being tied to one company. It can be content creation, writing, design, marketing — anything that lets you work remotely and on your own terms. 

The first time I set foot on Boracay, I thought it was just going to be another “beach trip.” You know—sun, sand, and a few pictures by the shore. But I was wrong. From the moment I saw the powdery white sand and the bluest water glistening under the sun, I knew this island was something special.

Planning your first trip to Taiwan? One of the first things you’ll need to figure out is how to stay connected and how to get around easily. Between SIM cards, portable WiFi devices, and transportation cards, the options can be overwhelming for a first-time traveler.

PSAHelpline.ph, the first and longest-running ordering and delivery channel authorized by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), marks its 25th anniversary this June. Launched in 2000 as NSO Helpline Plus, the service began as a dedicated call-in hotline (737-1111), allowing Filipinos to request their PSA certificates—such as birth, marriage, death, and Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR)—without the need to visit PSA CRS outlet. From the beginning, PSAHelpline.ph has been committed to providing a secure, accessible, and reliable way for citizens to obtain their civil registry documents, helping bring PSA services closer to people’s homes.

Solo traveling is an empowering experience, especially for women. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, builds confidence, and allows you to explore the world on your own terms. It is one big factor that made me the woman I am today.

During my early 20s, I embraced the hustle culture—as what every millennial did naman siguro. From getting the maximum clients and work we could handle, binge-watching an entire K-drama series in one sitting, devouring books daily, to attending every ganap from work to personal life. Yung tipong bigay na bigay ka sa life talaga. Every day felt like it needed to be maximized—parang laging may hinahabol. But life will humble you.

Established in 2000, PSAHelpline.ph marked a turning point in document procurement for Filipinos. Endorsed by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the platform offered a modern alternative to traditional methods of acquiring PSA certificates. Prior to PSAHelpline, obtaining vital documents like PSA birth,  marriage, CENOMAR, or death certificates involved going out and travelling, requiring in-person visits. 

The biggest name in real estate development in the nation, Camella, marked its 46th anniversary with a wonderful occasion that brought together communities from all over the Philippines. National Camella Day was a wonderful celebration that recognized Camella's commitment to fostering community and wellbeing. Throughout August, numerous exciting events were held concurrently in various locations to mark the occasion.

Summer brings life to the tedium of a person's daily routine. Everything about this season speaks outdoors — trips to the beach, getting in touch with nature, afternoon picnics, and outdoor camping. It signals the perfect time to bring out the fashionable summer clothes in your closet, hang out with friends, binge on in-season fruits, and bask in vibrant days knowing there are fewer possibilities of rain ruining the day.
