2019.12.30 – E-Gang Yakiniku Party

E-gang, or Eyeglasses gang, is what we used to call ourselves back in our Villaruel Tower days. It’s been a while since we’ve hung out together since Darl’s has moved to Cebu for good, so we had a lot of catching up to do. And what better way to spend time catching up than over […]

2019.12.28 – MAP Christmas Party

MAP stands for Mahjong Association of the Philippines – no, we’re not an official association – we just called ourselves that several years ago when we played mahjong almost everyday as a past time back when we all lived in Makati. My friends have all long gone home to Cebu for good, but we meet […]

2019.12.25 – Alice Garden

It’s Christmas day – but for Filipinos, most of the celebrations and parties happen during Christmas Eve. December 25 is when things slow down and people take a rest from all the partying. I got bored at home so I was happy when my friends also wanted to go out for drinks this night! We […]

2019.12.23 – Azure Christmas Party

Every year, my college barkada (a.k.a., Azure Society) has an annual gathering for Christmas. It used to be an outreach program, followed by a Christmas Party – but for the past two years (and because we’re already doing our own outreach programs separately), we’ve tried to make our Christmas parties a bit more creative (and […]

Official HIGE DANdism – Tell Me Baby – Romaji Lyrics

Hey guys! It has been a while. I noticed that I’ve been getting a few visits from my Romaji lyrics transcriptions, so I decided to make more! This is the first of many! I may get into actually translating the lyrics into English later, but even with just converting to Romaji, I am already learning […]

Taiwan: Day 1 – Eating & Drinking Around Taipei (Part 2)

So, where were we? We just finished up with Liberty Square and were starving from all of the walking. It was finally time for lunch. Little did I know that after this, the rest of the day was going to be filled with food (and drinks). Hangzou Xiao Long Bao We decided to try the […]

Taiwan: Day 1 – Walking around Taipei (Part 1)

Last May 2, 2019, I visited a place I have never been to for the first time. Taiwan is a controversial “country” because of its complicated history with China (which I won’t dwell on, but read up on it if you’re interested). Together with friends from work and my brother (who was traveling outside the […]

Official HIGE DANdism – Shukumei – Romaji Lyrics

I have become a big fan of this band since I started listening to them just a month (or two) ago. On the first listen, I didn’t really like Shukumei that much – and it was probably because I didn’t really listen 100% to it, nor try to understand what its lyrics meant. Now, this […]

July 2019 – A Busy Birth-month!

Hello guys! I haven’t been posting daily like I said I would (again), but I won’t dwell on my failure and will start catching up on posts from here on. July was super hectic but also extremely eventful for me. Here’s a quick snapshot of my July 2019: More details to follow in separate posts […]
