From juicy dumplings in Taipei to mouth-watering pastries in Paris, these 15 destinations are absolute heaven for anyone who travels with their taste buds. So grab your stretchy pants, charge that phone for food pics, and let’s get munching! 1. Tokyo, Japan What to eat: Sushi, ramen, tempura, yakitori, and matcha everything. Tokyo is like Disneyland for foodies except better. You’ve got sushi for breakfast at the legendary Tsukiji Market, steaming bowls of rich tonkotsu ramen at tiny hole-in-the-wall joints, and fancy omakase dinners that'll blow your mind (and maybe your budget). But don’t miss the quirky stuff either. Ever had a rainbow cotton candy the size of your head? Tokyo’s got it. L...

This year, I turned 40. And I decided to celebrate that milestone by becoming a kid again. So, I packed my things and headed out to the 22nd Philippine Toys, Hobbies, and Collectibles Convention last June 14. And it was definitely a blast for the 40-year-old me. Toys For All Ages You know that “rule” where you’re supposed to leave behind toys when you become an adult? Well, at the Toycon, that rule gets thrown out the window. Here, 40-year-olds and older get to gush about toys of all sorts alongside the actual kids. And as always with Toycon, there are tons of toys to gush on. There were the dinosaurs, robots, and superhero action figures for the young and old boys. Meanwhile, the young and old girls feasted their eyes on Barbies, Sailor Moon, and other heroines. There is also the meeting of the old and the new, as popular franchises get more toys courtesy of both seasoned and up and coming manufacturers. Voltes Five, that giant robot 40-year-old and older Filipino kids still adore, w...

A visual and design-driven look at rustic interior trends, featuring the timeless charm of animal figurines and the humble wooden cutting board. Welcome Back, Rustic Charm If you’ve been scrolling Pinterest lately or flipping through interior design magazines, you’ve probably noticed something: rustic décor is having a serious comeback. But this time around, it’s less about cabin kitsch and more about intentional living—a celebration of natural materials, earthy tones, and meaningful design pieces. The heart of this rustic revival? Kitchens. As the gathering place of the home, kitchens are becoming the new showcase for thoughtful design. From open shelving and reclaimed wood to ceramic pottery and warm lighting, every little detail matters. And two of the quiet stars of this movement? Animal figurines and the ever-reliable wooden cutting board. In this post, we’ll explore how rustic elements are making their way back into modern homes and why small, handcrafted items are stealing the ...

Pettr, the Philippines’ first all-in-one petcare superapp under 917Ventures, partnered with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) to promote responsible pet ownership and raise awareness about how pets help in emotional healing and mental health. Pettr joined the recent Angel Pets Advocacy, Research and Learning (ARAL) session of DSWD’s Angel Pets Project which integrates animal-assisted therapy into support services for those who have experienced abuse, neglect, or are living with psychosocial disabilities.

The session also addressed the importance of pet sterilization, or kapon, in preventing overpopulation and ensuring the long-term health of companion anim...

  Image by Freepik You don’t need to be rich, genius-level techy, or escape your current life in one dramatic leap. Becoming a successful digital nomad is a buildable path — one rooted in clear tools, smart routines, and brutal honesty about your needs. This isn’t a manifesto about quitting your job tomorrow to blog on a beach. It’s a practical orientation: less about vibes, more about visibility. The lifestyle is real, but so are the logistics, the loneliness, and the learning curve. Let’s break this down like you’ve got 20 minutes and zero tolerance for fluff. Think Like a Migrating Specialist, Not a Drifting Freelancer Most digital nomads who fail don’t lack passion — they lack process. It's one thing to want freedom; it's another to sustain income, clarity, and energy while crossing time zones. That begins by treating this shift like an intentional career pivot. Start with a location-agnostic skillset, a test budget, and a loose itinerary. Taking time to find out how to t...

  Ever feel like you’re stuck on a never-ending treadmill of content creation? Like if you don’t post something today, the algorithm gods will smite your reach, and your audience will just poof vanish? Yeah, I’ve been there too. But guess what? Posting more isn’t always the answer. In fact, some of the most successful brands and creators are posting less and getting more engagement. Yup more likes, comments, shares, saves, DMs, and all the juicy stuff... with fewer posts. Step 1: Quality Over Quantity (Yes, Really) Okay, you’ve probably heard this before, but I’m gonna say it louder for the people in the back: quality > quantity. Think about it when you scroll through your feed, do you stop for every post? Or do you pause only when something really speaks to you? Exactly. If you post five times a week but your content feels rushed, dull, or just kinda “meh,” it’s not gonna stick. But if you post once or twice a week and it’s pure gold funny, inspiring, helpful, or hella relatabl...
