Thank you for the trial run, January. Can we unsubscribe now, please? Tuesday morning, I was scrolling down my wall on the way to work when I saw the article from NY Times about Kobe Bryant’s tragic passing. I was like, wait? Didn’t I just like spend the whole Monday with this news on my…

Weekend Reading
After having doubts about this supposed weekly feature on this platform, I have decided on keeping Weekend Reading as a way to share a few thoughts (if there are) on some of my other personal interests. I know that it’s kind of demotivating looking at social media newsfeed right now with the world events to…
Jones Bridge
I can still remember that horrible evening around 10 years ago. After being dropped off along Taft Avenue by our company shuttle (I used to work for Intel in Cavite then), I hailed a taxi going home as it was late already, around 11 in the evening I think. As you know back then, ride-hailing…
Funny Face Part 3
Name a more iconic role of Audrey Hepburn than Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I’ll wait. In fact, I’m one of those people who’ve seen pictures of Audrey in that famous LBD (little black dress) prior to seeing the movie itself. But however iconic that image is, Holly’s character is hardly something I can…
Of Trains And Exes
“Never run for a bus, train or a man. When one leaves, another arrives.” I still remember the first time I saw this quote many years ago. Having realized how I’ve done what it says otherwise, I posted the quote in Facebook so that others may benefit from this nugget of wisdom. I also vividly…
Weekend Reading
There were a lot of great articles worth sharing last week that didn’t make it to a compilation post to give way to my Vienna travel blog (check it out!) so I made an advanced list for this week. Hope you don’t mind. 😜 Plus, this Friday I might be busy checking out some Black Friday…
Weekend Reading
It’s a loooong weekend and it’s been a while since I last did this thing that I promised to do weekly (haha!) so let’s skip long introductions and just dig into it, shall we? Here’s my recommended list of readings and events. Travel. On Visiting Cemeteries When Traveling I guess this travel-related post is just…
Funny Face
I couldn’t think of a better timely post for this Halloween dress-up week than this Funny Face recreation mini project of mine. To be honest, I didn’t on purpose shoot this for this November occasion but rather, the concept was plotted the moment I found out about this arc installation somewhere in the metro. While…
Self-Care
If there’s one thing I realized about myself in the past when it comes to dealing with relationship issues with friends (goodluck if you expected men on that one), it’s that I tend to avoid the confrontational path and resort to keeping things to myself. I’ve always thought this was the mature path to take…
Weekend Reading
I had every intention of posting an update last week but…the Taipei trip happened. It was a short 2-day sunny trip with the family visiting new locations uncovered in my previous trips which of course will be blogged soon. With scattered rains still expected this weekend in Manila due to tropical cyclone NIMFA, my hope…
