It has been over a year since I left Manila to work from Cebu, which is my hometown, given everyone is working from home anyway. As offices are already planning to implement their return-to-office plans, I wanted to “test the waters” by “flying through the skies” and doing a “dry run” of how it is […]
Last February, my college friends and I attended a wedding of one of our classmates in Panglao, Bohol. It was a destination wedding that was well-welcomed after the stress of the past months (Odette). It was an opportunity for a get-away with friends, a short vacation filled with food, drinks and love (Char!). Day 1, […]
After over a month since the typhoon struck, we still didn’t have electricity and stable internet at home. This really made working from home a challenge. I tried working from my sister’s rented condominium but driving there everyday took 3-4 hours of my precious time. And coming home to a house without electricity didn’t help […]
A super typhoon called Odette (international name: RAI) hit us just a week before Christmas. Cebu has always been “lucky” in terms of typhoons. They normally slow down after passing through the outer islands (Cebu is smack in the middle of the Philippines), and the older, more religious generation would say that Cebu is protected […]
November was a breeze. Here’s a rundown of the month in photos! Click one and scroll to see the captions! November was a perfect mix of business and pleasure. I managed to go outside the city for a getaway with friends, met up with work friends even just for a while, destressed over mahjong, ate […]
This isn’t really news given the actual purchase happened back in 2017. A friend of mine (and you’ll see him later in the video below) who is a real estate broker showed me some properties that were on pre-selling back then and I thought it was time for me to get my own place. I’ve […]
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 […]
The pandemic has deprived us all from traveling to our favorite places and countries – mine being Japan. I consider myself lucky though that somehow, there are places in my hometown that takes me there, without having to actually fly there. Soba Kamakura is one of those places. It’s a soba restaurant hidden in 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 […]
