Happy Birthday to me!

Last week, I turned another year older. At this point, age is really becoming just a number. Deep in my mind and my heart, I don’t feel like I’ve grown up much. Although I can’t deny the following signs of aging: I can’t drink as much as I used to, or my body takes an […]

Weekly recap (May 28 – June 3)

Here are the highlights of the week that was: Crazy karaoke at Megapro with LMN friends. This was supposed to be for Rep’s despedida but she was tired and sleepy. We still pushed through and sang/drank like it wasn’t Monday the next day. Jolo’s birthday salubong at Rue Bourbon. Got drunk after 3 bottles of […]

Zubuchon Makati

This episode of No Reservations put Zubuchon on the map not just in Cebu, but in the entire Philippines as Anthony Bourdain dubbed it “The Best Pig Ever”. Cebu is home to the best lechon (roasted pig) in the Philippines. And competition is tough. I’m just happy that Zubuchon finally put up a branch in my […]

How to not lose friends on Social Media

Your social media account is your own space – I agree to that. But just like your life is yours to live how you want, you still need to consider the impact of your own action to the people around you. If I don’t believe in deodorants as a person, I would still think twice […]

How to Unblock US Netflix, Crunchyroll

A lot of video streaming services such as Netflix, Crunchyroll (if you’re an anime fan), Dramafever, have geographic restrictions. For those in the US, there’s usually no problems viewing almost 100% of the shows available in these services. However, for those outside the US, and especially in the Philippines, a lot of these content are […]

Boracay Beach Wedding – #DeeNewlyWeds

I’m sorry for the long break – it has exactly been a week since my last post. I attended a wedding of a friend in Boracay last week, so that disrupted my blogging schedule. It was a lovely wedding by the beach – and I got to meet up with old friends. We had a […]

Buendia Extension

The old office’s back alley, where me and my friends used to get our afternoon snacks. Squid balls, hotdog, and kwek-kwek. There are also two jolly-jeep stalls that sell cheap meals and bananacue. Also known as “creek side”, this small street is super busy on the weekdays, and super quiet (haunting, even) on the weekends. […]

Sweaty Hands & Feet

I’m sitting on my desk, typing at my computer, the air conditioning blowing cold air straight at me – but my hands and feet are still sweating like crazy. As a student, I hated writing because my paper or notebook always ends up soaking wet. I had to insert another sheet of paper, or a […]

How to read Manga on your Kindle!

I grew up at a time when manga (Japanese comics) was considered scarce, at least in the Philippines. Outside of Japan, there’s barely any access to manga, or if there were, it was quite costly! When I bought my Kindle, originally for e-books, I wondered if there was a way to put an entire manga […]

Weekly Recap (May 8-14)

I’m sorry for being a day late, but as promised, here are my highlights of the week (May 8-14): I have been going to work earlier than usual, so that I could also go home earlier. My friend (Ralph) and I were able to consistently get to the office by 7AM, and leave for home at […]
