Last January, I took the family to our first real vacation since the pandemic started. Some of my friends also decided to take their families with them on vacation that same weekend, so it was a bit of a reunion after being locked down for almost a year. From our hometown in Dalaguete, which is […]
I just wanted to quickly update that I was able to go home to Cebu (yay!). I needed a change of environment because I really was getting super depressed in Manila. I missed my family, and I thought we should be with family during these tough times. So, as you may have read from my […]
Hey guys. So, I’m flying back home to Cebu soon and in order to do this, under the current situation, I have to get a Travel Authority from the PNP office. This document is required in order for someone to travel domestically in the Philippines – at least when you cross borders between provinces, in […]
Last week, I had quite an anxious experience with trying to send my car from Manila to Cebu via rolling cargo. I’ve tried searching the internet for a step-by-step guide but I couldn’t find anything, so I thought I’d lay it down here for anyone who wants to ship their vehicles from Manila to Cebu, […]
So, I started a YouTube channel. I needed a different venue to channel my mental energy. This came about on my fifth day of Twitter hiatus. I just picked up my phone, recorded myself making coffee – and decided to just give it a go! I’ve always wanted to start to move to vlogging but […]

I finished reading The Hangman’s Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch over the typhoon when we had no electricity. It was the perfect way to spend a sleepless night over. I’ve started it a while back but I had difficulty finishing it due to anxiety over what’s going to happen next. The story revolves around the town’s […]
Hey guys! Wow, what a month it has been so far – just when you think 2020 is almost over, the world (at least the Philippines) has turned upside down again with at least 5 typhoons in a row (since October), 2 of which (including the latest one) were record-breaking disastrous. As of today, the […]
Exactly 13 years ago, this guy left the comfort of home, hopped on his first airplane, and started an adventure in a land quite familiar, but still a bit foreign. Leaving Cebu for Manila was unplanned, but when the opportunity presented itself, I knew I had to grab it. In the beginning, it was a […]
As a long time fan of Japan and Korean pop, it’s really only now that I feel like Filipinos finally have a legit pop group we can be proud of. SB19, made up of Sejun, Ken, Josh, Stell and Justin, may have been trained by a Korean entertainment company BUT – their being Pinoy shines […]
