Cavite is one of the best places to go to when you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Not only is it near and affordable, there are plenty of places to visit.

I have discovered on my recent trip to Tagaytay that the city has so much more to offer. One of them is the numbers of ukay-ukays which thrift shoppers like me will surely enjoy.

Only if our budget allows us. We envy those people who can ...

And for one second in your absolutely chaotic life to just… relax? This is obviously not an easy task. As a student, I have to find a place, a retreat, where I will be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings without making ...

As for me, I've been checking out ukay-ukays since my early high school years, so I really don't mind standing for hours as long as I’ll find something that will tickle my ...
