This vlog is honestly just a sweet little memory for me. I filmed it last summer (April 2024) with my former workmates—people I spent my last months with at my old company—and editing it felt like a quiet trip down memory lane. It’s a cozy, real-time kind of travel day where you’ll see the unglam parts too: packing up beach essentials, moving from Manila to Batangas, then the bus terminal to Anilao port, and finally the ferry rides that take you closer and closer to Tingloy. Once we get to Masasa Beach, it’s just… beautiful. Like, genuinely one of the prettiest beaches I’ve ever been to, and I mean that. I also included our island hopping day, our transient stay, and the small in-between moments that made the trip feel light—those pauses where you’re tired, laughing, and just happy you’re there. My biggest takeaway: trips like this don’t have to be perfect to be worth remembering, and I’d love to go back someday and explore the island again.
