About Single Tita

Hello from Manila! Call me Tita. 👋

I am Joy,  I’m an 8-hour corporate worker by day, and a reader, crafter, and traveler by heart. I created this blog to share my journey in embracing singlehood, finding life balance, and exploring the world at my own pace.

As a practicing Catholic, my faith grounds everything I do—so expect a lot of heart, spiritual reflections, and a Bible verse for every endeavor! I may be easygoing and go-with-the-flow, but I stand firm in my beliefs and what truly matters in life.

My hope for this blog is to inspire you to live intentionally, love deeply, and embrace whatever season of life you are in right now.



I appreciate your feedback, send me a message at joyloca22@yahoo.com.  Or you can subscribe so I can send you a daily motivation.

Since our hotel was located on Little Collins Street, the nearby restaurants were our top choice—and they certainly didn't disappoint.  We tried several restaurants and food shops in the area, but these are the must-try spots during your trip. 🍷Australian cuisine at  Saint & Rogue Pub .  Located along Little Collins Street, Saint & Rogue Pub is a standout recommendation for anyone exploring Melbourne's dining scene. Featuring a rustic, wood-accented interior, it offers a quiet, romantic ambiance—ideal if you're looking for an intimate setting for meaningful conversation.
