Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar at Bagac, Batan has always been on top of our travel destination list. Our last month before Josiah and I can officially say that we’ve been married for a year has been busy months for us.

On the weekend we went to Bataan, Josiah and I decided to see […] Read More

Being engrossed online, we forget to live in […] Read More
