I had to search for the actual meaning of the word and the first definition is “something done or made in a hurry”. So no, it’s not what you think. Haha! After almost a year of not seeing any work mates, my friends from my previous group was able to stop by Cebu for a […]
Instagram finally deployed its latest features to this side of the world and despite eagerly awaiting for them to do so, I ended up hating it. I found myself scrolling through Reels and basically, 80% of the things you see there are trash. And then it made me realize how social media apps have evolved […]
I am in the process of cleaning out my photos from Flickr and transferring them to Google Photos in order to save money. Because of this, I’ve rediscovered some old memories from a time when I enjoyed taking photos on my DSLR. And, it’s such a waste for these photos to sit on my private […]
This post is inspired by the latest Banana Q Podcast episode entitled Why Do (Most) Cebuanos Hate to Speak in Tagalog. As a true blue Cebuano who happened to end up in Manila right after university for work, I can totally relate to this topic, 100%. And because I have so much inputs, I decided […]
Getting vaccinated in the Philippines is quite challenging, especially if you’re not part of the prioritized groups.

Last May, I took my mom and sister to a flower garden in Mantalongon, Dalaguete called Mt. Talongon Flower Garden.

I just wanted to quickly update that I was able to go home to Cebu (yay!). I needed a change of environment because I really was getting super depressed in Manila. I missed my family, and I thought we should be with family during these tough times. So, as you may have read from my […]
Hey guys! Wow, what a month it has been so far – just when you think 2020 is almost over, the world (at least the Philippines) has turned upside down again with at least 5 typhoons in a row (since October), 2 of which (including the latest one) were record-breaking disastrous. As of today, the […]
Exactly 13 years ago, this guy left the comfort of home, hopped on his first airplane, and started an adventure in a land quite familiar, but still a bit foreign. Leaving Cebu for Manila was unplanned, but when the opportunity presented itself, I knew I had to grab it. In the beginning, it was a […]
But, as we are in the middle of a pandemic, I can’t spend it with friends or family. I took the day off and I’ll figure out what I’ll do later – but for now (it’s currently 3:19 AM), I thought of going down memory lane since I’m also archiving my photos to Google at […]
