The Lifestyle Wanderer

Given the different means of finding love nowadays, who would've thought that #LoveAtFirstTaste can be another way to discover this indescribable feeling? I mean over food?

Watch the social experiment that Knorr conducted to showcase how flavor can be catalysts to life's meaningful connections:



Basically, two complete strangers were paired up in a blind date on the basis on their love for the same flavors. The result? An entertaining film that underpins how each culinary experience and flavor creates distinct memories and feelings with people, discovered using the Flavor Profiler!

We all know that Batangas is one of the go-to places of us who wants to enjoy basking under the sun and experience the beach. In my entirety, I've only been to Batangas just once or twice. JUST ONCE OR TWICE. Highlighting this one because I've lived in the south since forever yet I wasn't able to take lots of moments to appreciate this wonderful city known for its beaches from side to side.

Luckily this time, I got the chance to visit Batangas. This time, it's at Aquaria Water Park in Calatagan, Batangas. Calatagan sounded a bit far to me but in reality, it's like an hour away from Tagaytay.

This place had been meaningful to me because of so many firsts and I can't wait to share with you below why Aquaria Water Park is the ultimate getaway destination this summer!

We all know that it is inevitable for us not to be under the sun given the extreme heat we're experiencing right now. Guilty of not moisturizing everyday? I am! I wake up just in timeto get ready for work and I end up with no spare time to put some lotion on before I leave the house. Eeeekkk!

I'm absolutely a dairy lover and I wouldn't say no to any dairy food, especially when it has CHEESE in it!

Patty Villegas - The Lifestyle Wanderer - Arla Cheese Spread - Launch -8

When I got an invitation to the launch of the newest cheese spread in town, I thought twice whether to go or not. My family already got their favorite spread and at first, it slipped my mind that this could be just another cheese spread in the market. But I was hella wrong..

Few weeks ago, I haven't thought on how this summer's going to be since I got busy with work. I'm kind of clueless how to pull-off this year's summer since I didn't plan of going to the beach nor go somewhere to get a nice tan. (What a loser, right?)


Just in time when I'm feeling weary on how this summer's gonna be a sad one, I got a little tip to get myself into the zone for summer: Caronia nail polishes!  


I know you'll agree that we girls love to express ourselves not only on our dresses or makeups but through our nails as well, right? The first thought that came into my mind when I saw these vibrant nail polishes, they look so delicious!! Too bad they ain't edible. hihi :p 

Right in time when these cutie polishes came in the mail, I got an invite to go to the beach the week after. Can you guess what polish I used for this trip?

Yaasss! I used the Peach Perfect Nail Polish which happens to compliment my Otterbox Phone Case. <3 What I like about this color is that it complemented my skin well (especially under the sun). I can't wait to be playful with the other colors on the upcoming weeks!

The summer heat is just getting hotter and the need to take a dip at the beach to cool things down a bit is just what most people need— chill under a shade on a powdery white sand beach while enjoying a cold drink, splash into the clear blue-green waters of the sea, and start to pump the evening up as the sun sets with some party beats at the beachfront. Acer, one of the world’s largest PC companies, is also #TooZesty and excited to bring the party to the best island destination - Boracay.

What's a better way to spend the summer than to acquire a new skill! I personally love flowers and I'm excited about this upcoming workshop that's a fusion of both arts and beautiful flowers. <3

I know you'll agree with me when I say that this summer is way way hotter than the past ones we've experienced. Right? The temperature is just too exhausting that I always bring some refreshments with me to survive the scorching heat outside. (Hope you do the same!)

Even if the intense hot weather can easily irritate me, there are ways to make this summer still the best summer I'll have so far. This new addition to Starbucks' menu makes it even a better one. Check out below the things they have in store for the whole summer. :)

Treat yourself with the latest Starbucks Frappuccino® Blended Beverages available only from April 19 to June 6. You can now experience fun-filled discoveries with two limited summer flavors guaranteed to leave you feeling rejuvenated.

In my endless search for good food, I stumbled upon Galo Flame Grilled Latin Chicken situated in Robinsons Selection Food Court in Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill.

Is it just me or their facade looks similar to the ones in Diner Dash? :p

Expect 2016 to be a year of changes and big things for doctors Manny and Pie Calayan.



The first is the return to Manila of Dra. Pie, who has been based in the US for the last five years and where her daughters are studying. With her return to Manila, she brings news of grand plans for the Calayan Surgicenter, now marking its 21st year in the beauty business.

I just experienced every iPhone owners' worst nightmare: a broken iPhone screen. 



To share with you the backstory on how my iPhone screen cracked, there are chips between the two ends of the gorilla glass that connected when I accidentally dropped my phone. The funny thing about this, I dropped it on my plate while devouring on s'mores. Yes, s'mores. (spell s-t-u-p-i-d-i-t-y) Also, I'm guilty of not using a shockproof phone case which lead to more damage for my phone.

I tried asking for Power Mac's support regarding this matter. Over the phone, they told me that I would need to shell out Php 18,000 for a new iPhone 6 unit to be replaced for 3 to 4 weeks. Insane!

Without a compass, I've lost and happily found myself again.

Patty Villegas - I'm on Autopilot - Bag of Beans -3

There came a time when I was on an autopilot mode doing things that I had to do without thinking the reason behind it. I kept a daily list of task to work on all day long and it's as if I'm stick in a rut. To keep it simple, my life seems to be a little meaningless lately.
