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 […]
The latest Animal Crossing game arrived at the most perfect time, when the entire world was basically in lock down due to the pandemic. It helped me cope up with being stuck at home, and I’m sure it’s the same for everyone who played the game since its release last March. I did not know […]
This is an unpopular opinion, and I was actually hesitating about posting this. But this is why I think we should not do mass testing yet. Our doctors and medical practitioners are not the frontliners in this “war” against COVID-19. We, the general public, are. They are our last line of defense. Our hospitals, doctors […]
Hey guys! Wow, 2020 has been crazy, right? We started out with the threat of World War 3. Then where I’m from (Manila, Philippines), a volcano erupted causing people to evacuate and those in the city buying masks for protection against ash fall. Now here we are with the virus – everyone knows about this […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
