Still Here

Hey guys, I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I’m still alive. I haven’t posted for a couple of months now and I don’t have a valid excuse other than I’ve just been lazy – but I’ll try to make the most out of the holiday break to catch […]

Quitting Social Media: What I Learned

A couple of months ago, in August to be exact, I decided to take an indefinite leave from social media. I managed to do it for almost two months, coming back to Twitter on October 15, and a bit earlier on Instagram, towards the end of September. This is an entry to just close this […]

Coffee Culture: Thirdswell at BGC

For a coffee addict, my knowledge about coffee is limited to that of an amateur. My love for coffee started out early in my childhood with a packet of Nescafe instant coffee.

Monday is WFH day. I woke up early after having slept almost the entire day yesterday.

I did not do anything the entire Sunday, other than just rest. I originally planned to go to Dalaguete but I changed my mind when my younger sister told me she isn’t going. Since I was still so tired from all of the activities and night outs the past few days, I decided to just […]

No favoritisms but Adia is literally my favorite godchild because how can you resist this cute baby?! The party was at 7PM, but considering Cebu’s traffic, […]
