A weekend in West Bay ironshore

I am a “bayer” now, that’s what they say. Although my daddy was originally from East End, I am spending the rest of my conscious life here on the west side. It is the most populous district on island and “troublemakers” live here. It’s not as ugly as you think it is though, there are a lot of good places (especially restaurants!) you can safely hangout with friends in here. It was a lazy day last weekend so I decided to go to ironshore and just chill.


I have been here for more than a year now and to be honest I’m just bored most of the time- that’s why I go out as much as I possibly can. I don’t really have a “passionate” hobby except from taking photos and diarizing my thoughts and sharing it on the web, but at the same time I am extremely anxious of getting “recognized” or being too public with my personal life. As a matter of fact, I don’t have an online presence anymore except this blog and my twitter, in both of which I don’t use my real name lol.

But anyway, when I get the chance I’ll show you more not only of West Bay or my self portraits, but rather the beauty of the whole island as well. So stay tuned!

    Busy bee?

    It has been a very busy start of the month for me! First off, I tried to do this thing called “Keto” diet. I signed up for a meal plan that costs $670/month. Breakfast and lunch/dinner will be delivered daily, 100% Keto compliant, prepped by a renowned chef on island. I thought it was going to be easy. I thought all I had to do was eat whatever they provide me everyday. I had no idea it was going to be this excruciatingly difficult! On my third day, I started feeling nauseous and lethargic. It almost felt like the withdrawal I had when I stopped my SSRIs abruptly. My coworker said that when she did it strictly for the first time, she felt like she…

  • Ocho Rios Day 3: Dunn’s River Falls; Montego Bay, and Holland Bamboo

    Ocho Rios Day 3: Dunn’s River Falls; Montego Bay, and Holland Bamboo

    We woke up bright and earlyโ€”againโ€”to pack up for the day. First stop: Dunnโ€™s River Falls in Ocho Rios, then off to Montego Bay! Even though our legs were still recovering from yesterdayโ€™s Mystic Mountain adventure, there was no way we were skipping this iconic Jamaican gem. Dunnโ€™s River Falls is one of Jamaicaโ€™s most famous natural attractionsโ€”think cascading limestone terraces and cool mountain spring water rushing all the way down to the beach. Itโ€™s not just pretty to look at; people actually climb up the falls, making it part adventure, part nature therapy. ๐ŸŒฟ Seeing the falls in person was a bit surprising. Photos online make it look huge, and while itโ€™s definitely not Niagara-level tall, itโ€™s still a breathtaking sight. The sound of…

  • Catching up

    Catching up

    Hi everyone, I’m writing to you now as a means of catching up for last month. I know a lot has been happening around the world especially in my home country, which makes me appreciate how privileged and blessed I am to be living here where the pandemic has been handled pretty well. I hope you guys are holding on. Anyway, last month has been (and I can’t stress this enough) HECTIC, in multiple facets of my life. Work per se has been voluminous,  CFA reviews and networking, home renovations, and finally launching our own business! All of that happened simultaneously in March. You can say yes I have been productive, but I have also abandoned a lot of other things like this blog, and…

  • We got married!

    We got married!

    I can’t believe it! I am now officially part of the married women club! Nothing much has changed, to be honest, given that my husband and I have been living like a married couple for a while now. But still, it’s nice to know that we’re now officially bound together for life.  We decided to get married in the Cayman Islands to avoid the tedious process of applying for a marriage license in the Philippines. We’ve been trying to sort out all the paperwork since January this year, but the back and forth of legal requirements took a lot of effort, time, and money. So, we decided to bypass all the red tape, get married locally, and do a destination wedding ceremony in the Philippines…

  • My sweet trip to Jamaica

    My sweet trip to Jamaica

    Hi friends! Last Friday I flew to Jamaica with the purpose of applying for US B1/B2 visa.  If you are wondering why I had to leave Cayman Islands, well that is because there is no US embassy here and the nearest one is in Kingston. My trip was only supposed to be over the weekend, but it turned out to be an entire week because… life happens! Right before I left, I was already feeling lethargic and called in sick from work. Then, one of my co-workers told me that someone from the office contracted covid. I hurriedly tested myself and just my luck, I tested positive too! ><” There were no restrictions to travellers anyway so I and my boyfriend still went and hopped…
