It has been over a year since I left Manila to work from Cebu, which is my hometown, given everyone is working from home anyway. As offices are already planning to implement their return-to-office plans, I wanted to “test the waters” by “flying through the skies” and doing a “dry run” of how it is […]
Last February, my college friends and I attended a wedding of one of our classmates in Panglao, Bohol. It was a destination wedding that was well-welcomed after the stress of the past months (Odette). It was an opportunity for a get-away with friends, a short vacation filled with food, drinks and love (Char!). Day 1, […]
After over a month since the typhoon struck, we still didn’t have electricity and stable internet at home. This really made working from home a challenge. I tried working from my sister’s rented condominium but driving there everyday took 3-4 hours of my precious time. And coming home to a house without electricity didn’t help […]
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 […]
