Surfing the internet may put your privacy at risk, especially if your computer’s virtual private network (VPN) is lousy. A poor VPN may retain internet activity logs, slow your speed, or worse, sell your information to advertisers, spies, and crooks. Since a lot of information goes through the VPN, you need to ensure that your connection is safe. Private Internet Access (PIA) is a popular VPN that has been in the business for nearly 20 years. PIA VPN has advanced features that make the internet secure. If you’re just starting to learn about the PIA VPN, here’s a guide on how the VPN technology works and why PIA is a great choice. Aside from the pros and cons of PIA VPN, we will also touch on the step-by-step download guide to install the tool.
What Is VPN?
One thing to know about the virtual private network (VPN) is, surfing the internet will never be 100% safe and private. If you connect your mobile device or laptop to the web via a public Wi-Fi, your information can be compromised. Think about aVPN as an encrypted tunnel that won’t be accessed by anyone aside from you and the service provider. All the information that the VPN accesses and stores will be private, so no one can snoop on your internet activities and your private information. Using a virtual private network directs your data to the VPN server and not your home’s router, therefore your IP address and geographic location will be hidden. This is one way of securing your internet footprint, which is integral in securing your privacy and personal information.
Pros Of PIA VPN
As mentioned,Private Internet Access (PIA) is a popular VPN that guarantees safe and protected surfing. It offers access to over 3,301 servers in 30 countries worldwide. The best feature of the PIA VPN is the no-log feature, which defeats censorship and data hacking. Since PIA VPN is a safe internet tool, you can expect that it is not free. The service comes in three billing options: $9.95 per month, $39.95 annually, and $69.95 for a two-year service. Price-wise, PIA VPN is affordable compared to competitors like NordVPN, which cost $11.95 monthly. Private Internet Access offers encrypted private browsing on multiple devices. You can download an app for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iPhone/iPad. Aside from the app, PIA provides extensions for Chrome, Firefix, and Opera browsers. Additionally, PIA provides support for OpenVPN and routers, which saves you from messing around and switching servers. The standard server can handle up to 10 connections from one account, which works fine for most families. The best part of PIA VPN is, it retains no traffic logs. Therefore, all information about internet activities, data range, and sites visited, won’t be available for reference. PIA declares this ‘no traffic log’ promise. With this, all server connections are safe and private. Finally, PIA remains transparent to the public by publishing court orders, subpoenas, and warrants received from governments. Anyone can check the private report page to know more about the reports dated mid-2018.
How To Download PIA VPN
Using the Private Internet Access VPN is as simple as downloading the app or extension, adding your account details, and connecting to the server.
Download PIA VPN On mobile
To download the app, simply search VPN by Private Internet Access and tap on download.
Open the app and sign up.

To the people who loves cuddling and playing with adorable pets, this place is purrrr-fect for you!
The Pet Cafe by Velvet Friends is located at 2nd Floor, Bluebay Walk, Macapagal Avenue, cor EDSA Libertad, Pasay City. The place is nearby SM Mall of Asia.
How to get to the Pet Cafe?
Any point from EDSA, ride a bus going to SM Mall of Asia and ask the driver to drop you off at McDonalds Bluebay/Macapagal. From the McDonalds, walk your way to Bluebay / Bluebay Walk at the back of Conti’s. The Cat Cafe is located on the 2nd Floor.
The cafe is open from 11 AM to 11 PM.
My girlfriend, Jane, and I went to Pet Cafe at around 8 in the evening. She loves cats. They have a pet cat named Peemak back at home. Knowing she loves adorable cats, I took her to Pet Cafe by Velvet Friends.
Entrance Fee with a complimentary drink as follows.
•Entrance with complimentary Iced Tea = 220 per 1 hour.
•Entrance with complimentary Milk Shake = 270 per 1 hour.
They also have an ongoing promo.
Group of 5 or more gets to have 10 discount.
Birthday celebrant gets to have 20% discount.
If you’re going to visit both Cats Haven and Dogs Haven, you get to have 10% discount.
In this cafe, you can only choose to select one pet haven. Since Jane loves cats, we selected the Cat Haven.
You also have the option to choose if you’re going to drink inside or outside of the pet haven. We opted to have our drinks consumed inside with the cats. You may also add up anything from the counter, drinks, pastries, cake. Anything you want.
Before you can enter, you must wear socks (required). If you have one, you can use that. If you don’t, you have to buy one from the counter, it’ll cost you 45 pesos per pair. Jane was only wearing sandals so we had to buy her socks. Once you bought it, it’s yours.
The Cat Haven
Entering the cat haven is like a dream come true. Adorable cats are everywhere. They are either playing with other guests, or sleeping, or eating. After all, that’s all what they usually do, right? At least for me.
You can play with them, pet them, feed them, sleep with them, hug them, kiss them, and take pictures with these adorable cats. I promise you, you’d enjoy it. These are no ordinary cats (in the Philippines). They’re well bred. They are furry and has this big, lovely eyeballs.
Here’s a funny experience, this cute gray cat (not sure about the name) who was sleeping at the hanging bridge for cats was kinda grumpy by its looks. We want to play with him but he refuses. He doesn’t want to be touched and if we insist, he’ll use his claws to let him go. Not sure but maybe he was already stressed. However, this German guy that just walked in tried to get the gray cat’s attention, and he succeeded. Wow! He lets him touch him. I speak to myself, “what a racist cat!” (or maybe I just don’t know how to properly handle grumpy cats, lol).
Anyway, if you’re on the cat haven, you still could see the dog’s area. There was just a little fence for both cuties. But as I have mentioned, you are only allowed for one haven an hour. The dogs are beautiful as well! I’ll play with them soon.
The staffs here are friendly too. They are open to answering all your questions regarding the pets, how they do it, who is the owner, etc. If you have your own dogs, find out what’s the best for dog itchy skin treatment.
We have truly enjoyed being with these awesome creatures and we wish to experience it more. We only had 1 hour to play with these adorable beings.
If you wish to extend your happiness, pay another 220 or 270 pesos ($5-6).
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.

From the group of islands in the Pacific, there lies a famous long stretch of white sand beach. Blessed with a beautiful coastline, surrounded by turquoise seas and rolling hills of grasslands – this is Calaguas Island.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BbrbF1lFmQm/?hl=en&taken-by=codesandtravel
Calaguas Group of Islands includes three major islands — Tinaga Island, Guintinua Island, and Maculabo Island. True to its name, Mahabang Buhangin Beach, is a long stretch of beach located on Tinaga Island. Good news is that the local government takes the responsibility by starting to promote eco-tourism in the island to protect it from destruction. Getting There
It was my first time visiting Camarines Norte. Big thanks to Camarines Norte tourism office on welcoming us bloggers and help us discover more about the province.
Geographically speaking, Camarines Norte is a province located in the Bicol region occupying the Philippine Sea to the north. Discovering a new place has always been interesting. There are many ways to get to this beautiful secluded island.
[hoops name=”InArticle”]
From Manila, book an airfare ticket going to Naga airport, it will take an hour to reach. This is the most convenient and fastest way. Check your preferred airline company for the flight schedule and airfare.
From Naga, take a van bound for Daet . Fare is around 180-200 pesos ($3.56-$3.95) and travel duration is around 2-3 hours.
When you travel by land, there are many bus lines going to Daet. This includes Superlines, Philtranco, and Amihan. Bus fare usually is around 500-800 pesos ( $9.88-$ 15.80).
When you reach Daet, either go toward Paracle or Vinzon ports, this is the entry point to Calaguas.
If via Vinzon, ride a jeepney or hire a tricycle going to the fish port. Travel time is about 30 minutes. If via Paracale, take a van going to Paracale (P50-100). Travel time is 1-2 hours.
We endured an 8-9 hour van ride via private vehicle, then a 2-hour boat ride from Vinzons Port. The Vinzons port gave us a Thailand vibe floating market.
After playing with those big waves for almost 2 hours, we finally reached Calaguas Island. I was startled by its beauty as I kept on saying Wow for, “I don’t know how many times.” I feel like I was on Cloud 9 seeing this God’s beauty.
Taking the 2-hour boat ride through the Pacific Ocean was one of the best boat rides of my life. We bravely face the strong waves of the open seas. The best time to visit Calaguas is from February to summer where the waves are calm.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bb1VddGFt5T/?hl=en&taken-by=codesandtravel
You can only find a fair connection and mobile phone signal in some parts of the island. With this, people can interact, talk and bond. So if you want to unplug from the noise of the city life, Calaguas is definitely for you.
We took a 20 minutes trek where you can appreciate and see the whole island. The viewpoint is majestically appealing and will surely take your breath away.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbvoqo4l4rX/?hl=en&taken-by=codesandtravel
Accommodation
We didn’t get the chance to stay overnight on the island but they offer accommodations and tent rentals. Here is the list of tour packages you can get. You can contact the local government unit (LGU) of Camarines Norte for this offered tours.
My Thoughts
Calaguas Island is truly an amazing scenery created by God. I just hope we will preserve its beauty and continue in taking care of the whole island. I am one advocate of nurturing our Philippine treasures like Calaguas. Thank you, Camarines Norte tourism office for giving this opportunity to discover your place. Have you been to Calaguas? Share your experiences with us.
