El Nido, Palawan, PH: Falling in Love by Miss Adventurista on May 6, 2012People warned me about putting too little sunblock before slathering my favorite tanning oil on.

A Bulgarian Word for a Nickname! by Miss Adventurista on Apr 21, 2012The simple story behind my nickname is that when we were kids, an older cousin couldn't pronounce my full name properly and my parents thought it sounded unique.

24 Dares: 4 Down! by Miss Adventurista on Feb 22, 2012On my 23rd birthday, my best friend gave me a can of dares that I had to do before I turned 24. She thought of them herself, and I was only allowed to pick one rolled-up piece of yellow paper at a time. Thanks to her, I am pressured into doing them f...
