11 Reasons Why You Should Visit the Philippines

Amazing Food, Paradise-like Beaches, Happy People.

I’ve been seeing blog posts about the Philippines from viral sites around the globe. It’s nice to see foreign people write good things about our country but I must admit, it will truly feel genuine when a Filipino writes about the Philippines.

I encounter a lot of foreign people who visit the Philippines and they express how much they appreciate our country. They often compare the Philippines to other countries and this is what makes me realize and appreciate our country more.

1. Filipino hospitality

Based on a recent study, Philippines rank Top 8 in The Happiest Countries in the world. This is no surprise to us. Most Filipinos are positive people, they always crack jokes, and generally happy.

In the picture above, David Beckham visited Tacloban days after it was hit by Typhoon Haiyan. But instead of encoutering sad people, he was surprised to meet hopeful and smiling faces.

My foreign friends describe Pinoys as warm and loving people. They come here like it’s freedom whereas being in another country is more of a dreadful experience.

Excited for Boracay

Last year, I spent my Halloween in Boracay with workmates and it was my best Halloween ever!

Spending vacation time on the white sand beach, partying all night, meeting new people is really what I’m looking forward to again.

But this time, going to Boracay will be a challenge for me because I’m going there ALONE. I haven’t gone to any far place without relatives or friends so this one is gonna be exciting for me.

I’ll be updating my social media pages along the way so will you guys help me out?

Trying out instabanner

So I tried this Instagram frenzy called instabanners and here’s the result.

I didn’t use the actual app, I just did it manually. It took me some time, but I think that it’s worth it.

Oh, and by the way, that’s my newest model discovery, Philipp. He’s doing this year’s Cosmo bachelor bash.

Prevent your charger from breaking

If you’re a Mac user, you pretty much know that their chargers are very susceptible to breaking. Simply put a spring from an old pen to save your charger’s life.

I personally think that it’s common sense for Apple to put this technology on their gadgets’ chargers since most appliances have it ever since. I also wonder why Apple users don’t complain about it.

Oh well.
