Written in December 2025 from Manila, Philippines
If we sat down for coffee and you asked what we’re up to these days, here’s what we’d tell you.
Working Night Shifts
We’re both working from home as virtual assistants for international clients, which means our days and nights are flipped. While Manila sleeps, we’re online — answering emails, managing projects, and keeping things running for teams across the globe.
Eating Our Way Through Manila
Right now, we’re obsessed with Korean food. Our current favorite spot is Masil — we keep going back for the flavors and the vibe.
When we need our coffee fix, you’ll find us at Kalinaw in Marikina. It’s become our go-to spot for good brews and quiet mornings.
We’re always on the hunt for the next great meal, the next hidden gem. If you’ve got recommendations, we’re all ears.
Planning the Next Trip
We recently got back from Thailand, and it was everything we hoped for — the food, the energy, the adventure. We wrote all about it, so check out the full story here.
Next up: Taiwan in February 2026. We’re already daydreaming about night markets, bubble tea, and getting lost in Taipei. The countdown is on.
When We’re Not Working
Hanz is deep into Pokémon, DJing, and gaming on the PS5. You’ll catch her spinning tracks or grinding through her latest game obsession.
Lei is all about gaming too, plus she’s building a collection of Lotso bear figures (yes, the pink one from Toy Story) and experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes. She’s also currently binge-watching Stranger Things.
Together, we both love jumping in the car on our days off to drive into town or explore places we’ve never been.
Right Now
Our days are slow, but we like to keep moving. We’re always looking for new things to try, new places to explore, and new stories to share here. Life in our twenties is chaotic and beautiful, and we’re documenting it all — one adventure, one meal, one moment at a time.
