LUMOS, a Singapore-based brand, has released a new version of their best-selling LUMOS home cinema projector, the LUMOS FLOAT. It comes three years after the original affordable home projector hit the market. And this new iteration is sexier—lighter, slimmer, more versatile, and even comes in three colors. Let’s see if it still retains the quality of the original in its new package.

We slept with the drapes drawn wide open, offering a full view of the city’s main avenue—lamplight and car headlights reflecting off its rain-slicked streets. The Capitol building, seen from our window, quietly resting beneath a drizzling Iloilo sky. By the time I awoke, fully rested and ahead of my wife and kid, the scene had changed. Soft morning light filtered gently through Days Hotel’s translucent curtains; the rain had passed, and the city was beginning to wake. I dressed quickly, excited for a morning walk along the nearby River Esplanade—ready to be embraced once more by the City of Love.

DAYS HOTEL ILOILO

I stayed at Days Hotel Iloilo several years back during an Iloilo–Antique media tour that extended all the way to Guimaras and Boracay—days spent with a budding romance, a crazy whirlwind that now feels like a lifetime ago. Today, I return with the same person—now my wife—and our young son in tow. No longer traveling with a heavy backpack, we now carry two suitcases. Say hello to our new chapter of travelling.

Still wet from an afternoon of frolicking on a white sandy beach, we hurriedly packed our stuff, walked through the forest, and made our way back to our room. The sun was about to set and we didn’t want to miss it. From our balcony, perched high up—overlooking the Strait of Iloilo—we quickly prepared cups of coffee, brought out some chips for snacks, and savored the colors of the day’s end. It’s the perfect way to wrap up our day at Nature’s Eye Beach Resort.

Most tourists and travelers dream of joining a cruise someday but its prohibitive price makes it a just that, a dream. But fear not, this time, Star Dream Cruises is having a promo for their Star Voyager and Star Navigator cruises. Their 2025 cruise deals cover exciting destinations in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Besides discounts, what’s nice about these cruises is that most of the destinations covered are visa-free (except for Busan, South Korea).

I have been to numerous cruises before, and I have to say, they’re some of the most memorable and hassle-free trips I’ve had. The charm lies in not only visiting exciting travel destinations, but on the cruise itself. Imagine feasting on multiple buffet restaurants daily, enjoying the ship’s amenities like top deck swimming pools, spas, and arcades while cruising on the high seas, and watching world-class shows every night.

For as low as $139.00 or around ₱7,700.00++, you can enjoy two-night cruises from Star Dream Cruises. A very affordable cruise deal, considering it includes your accommodation, buffet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, on-board entertainment, and of course, a chance to visit Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan aboard a cruise ship.

Star Dream Cruises 2025 promos run from June 12 to July 30, 2025. Book now and make that dream cruise trip a reality.
