I have been following Marie Kondo (KonMari) on Instagram since I started out my minimalism journey a year ago. She has published two best-selling books entitled The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy. I loved her idea of decluttering – thanking the things that have served you one way or another, before […]
I’m at the airport right now, waiting for my flight back to Manila, for my reality to start again after the long break over Christmas. I purposely left the house early (4 hours before my flight) because I didn’t want to rush so that gave me time to reflect on the things I want to […]
Dear 2018, As with all of the other things in my life, I’ve been putting off this letter to you to the last minute (technically, the last 2 and a half hours left of you) because I wanted to think things through thoroughly. In the end, I have nothing grand or dramatic to write, not […]
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 […]
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 […]

This took 1 year in the making. I have been slacking off a lot, but since I just renewed my domain (and it isn’t cheap), I have to make the most out of it. So, here goes a series of throwback posts on our Osaka/Kyoto Autumn last October 2017 with Azure Laagans – starting with […]
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. My parents weren’t strict about us kids drinking coffee, and I usually had mine with powdered milk (Bear Brand) and a lot of […]
Gout History Before I started my Keto journey, I already had a history of gout. My first attack was in October 2016 – what started out as a discomfort on the joint in my right toe turned out to be a living nightmare that does not have any ending. Well, it disappears for a while, […]
I finally got to see Sam Smith live at the Manila leg of “The Thrill of It All World Tour” at the SM Mall of Asia Arena! I remember regretting not buying tickets for his first concert here three years back. His album “In the Lonely Hour” was our soundtrack when playing mahjong back in […]
