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 […]
Cebu’s bamboo forest is located at the northern tip of the island, in a town called Medellin. This just recently gained attention because of social media. Since I’m here, I had to see it! And it was perfect timing because my two friends are getting married, and it was the perfect place to do an […]
I thought my Spotify Wrapped for 2021 would be a bit more diverse vs. last year as I tried to listen to more artists, playlists, and even more Original Pilipino Music (OPM). Alas, to my surprise, it’s pretty much the same as last year with my Top 5 songs occupied by just one artist. (Take […]
So, I’ve finally found a replacement for the empty space in my heart that used to be occupied by Terrace House. As someone who lives vicariously through the lives of others, reality shows, specifically Japanese reality shows, hold a special place in my heart for several reasons. I get to immerse myself in the Japanese […]
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 […]
This weekend, I booked an overnight stay at one of the best resorts in the island. My sister’s birthday was a perfect excuse to splurge because otherwise, my mom would complain about spending too much money. Yes, maybe it’s a lot of money to burn for 2 days, especially when we already live on the […]
