The Other Boracay / The Lazy Dog Bed & Breakfast

I have been to Boracay several times, and it’s always been the White Beach area from Station 2 to Station 1. This time, I ended up on the other side of Boracay because I was looking for a cheap place to stay in for a night.  And I think I just found a treasure. In […]

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 […]

Unnies – Right

I have been watching a Korean reality show called Sister’s Slam Dunk (S2) and last week, the Unnies were finally able to release their debut single entitled “Right”.  After seeing them struggle through practice and recording, I am really proud that they made it this far. The show is about to end soon since they have already […]

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 […]

Get drunk at Crying Tiger for Crying Out Loud

It’s my first day of following the daily themes I’ve set for myself.  So, even if I’m quite drunk and that it’s quite late (it’s already Saturday early morning, to be exact), I am forcing myself to write this post so that I don’t feel like such a loser on my first day. Crying Tiger. […]

I Suck at Daily Blogging

I know, I know.  Even at studying for my upcoming exam this July. Just this week, I’ve blocked my calendar for these two main activities that I need to accomplish on a daily basis. I wasn’t able to follow this schedule the past two days, though! I’m still hopeful – slow progress is better than […]

Al Fresco Japanese at Yumi

I’m not really trying to be a food blogger, but whenever I do find restaurants that I think are worth my money, I would probably write about them here so that at least my friends (and you followers) will get to try it. Today, I had late lunch with my brother at Century City Mall. […]

Black Saturday in Makati

Holy Week is one of the longest consecutive holidays in the Philippines. A lot of us take advantage of the free time by going home to the province, staycation at a beach resort, or even travel abroad. Most of the times, I go home to Cebu. This year, I just stayed put in Makati. My […]
