Trail Run in Singapore

We did a lot of things during our 1 week vacation in Singapore. We visited places, eat good and weird stuffs, shop, took lot of pictures, try different types of transportation including the Singapore Cable Car, and joined a running event. It was just a 3K mini marathon (since the 10.5K marathon registration fee is a little expensive for us), but it is not one ordinary run. It was a trail Run.

Tour de Trail took place at MacRitchie Reservoir last September 26th. I and my 2 sisters participated in the 3K run. Other categories were 10.5 individual and a relay. It was our first time to said place so we did not expect what the path would be. We started in the assembly area inside the Reservoir, then to the highway and into a passage going back to the reservoir. The passage is narrow and surrounded by trees. The ground is wet, muddy and some gravels, rocks, branches and twigs in some places. The path goes uphill and downhill. The view is great as if you’re inside a jungle and we even passed by a small lake. It was sure a long path that seems to never end. The trail goes back to the concrete part of the reservoir and into a straight line towards the finish/start line. Check out the photos I and my sisters took.

Traveling JetStar Airways to Singapore

My mom, sis and niece had a week vacation a week ago to Singapore. It was my mom who booked the flight via JetStar Airways. She was choosing between Tiger Airways and Jetstar but chose the latter because of convenience. My mom registered online and avail of the promotional discounted round trip fees to Singapore and back to Manila.

We board the plane in Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1. Although the fare was cheap, it does not reflect in the service given by the in cabin crew. They even offered to have one of our carry on to be checked in for free. The take off was on time. Boarding was organized. There’s enough room for our hand carry luggage. The flight both ways was comfortable with just enough room. The toilets are clean and well maintained. Since it was a short trip, we did not bother tasting the food in their menu. The take off and landing was smooth.


I recommend JetStar Airways for those who are traveling in tight budget. You can pay via credit card and chose your seat online. Just show your print out when you board. For more information and booking go to this link.

Hi to my nonexistent readers! I was out on vacation for 2 weeks, a week in Camarines Sur (my province) and a week in Singapore. I love and miss Universal Studio, Sentosa and the streets of Singapore. There’s a lot to blog about from both trips but I’m not sure yet where to start. So, expect to read a lot about my travels, especially about wonderful places and tasty foods in my upcoming posts.

Also, I decided to go semi vegetarian after gaining a couple of kilograms after my vacation. So far, I survived day one without eating any meat. I had my dinner with my friends at Nomnomnom at Tomas Morato, the Ravioli was great and headed to California Berry for dessert. Check out what I ordered (decided to go weird with my frozen yogurt).

Gummy Bears and Lychee!

Pizza Log



So, till my next post. Still have to be early tomorrow for authentication of some documents in Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). So long Astoria!
