I wasn't really a big fan of souvenirs. When Jan and I traveled far and wide, we didn't bring anything home with us but pictures and memories until our first  trip in Boracay (emphasis on the word first because we're going back there soon and I hope I'm not jinxing it by …

I've never been this scared my whole life. I honestly thought that a 50-foot cliff jumping was the scariest thing I've ever done until I had to pass a practical driving exam. I was certain I knew what to do but I just got cold all over, my heart was beating fast, my breath wa…

I guess Jan and I need an attitude makeover. You see, we've been together in more than 20 flights. And perhaps a little less than half of that were at least an hour to three hours delayed. And not one, not a single free flight voucher from any airline has been issued to us for the i…

I am an average looking gal. Most of the time, I look like I just rolled and fell from my bed.

This morning, just like every morning, I woke up earlier than my alarm feeling groggy. And to make things worse, I hit the corner of my bedside bookshelf with my head. I could have gone dramatic over a small, assumed-concussion like what I always do when my hormones go on a monthly overdr…

Dodgy. I think that's the perfect word to describe the hotel we booked to. Maybe it's just an exaggeration, or worse, it could be an understatement. Whatever that is, we hope to get out of there alive. If you are wondering what I'm talking about... Well, Jan and I booked a…

Last night, I received an email saying I screwed up a website big time. But I wasn't worried because I knew I've triple-checked my work before I delivered. So, if there's anything, it was definitely not my fault (and yep, it wasn't. It was a server issue that got resol…

Half the year has gone and as much as I want to take some time to review how my life has progressed in 2017, I just kept rolling my eyes. Enter July. It has been raining lately and getting out of the bed every morning is becoming more and more difficult. But I do love waking up to cold …

Keep writing. That's what Jan told me when he gave me a mechanical keyboard. I've always wanted one but I feel wary about spending too much for a goddamn keyboard that pretty much does the same thing a cheap keyboard would. I never really thought of actually owning one. Bu…

Only three things make up my Facebook wall: travel, shameless plugging of my blog, and politics. And since I am living in Mindanao, the crisis might have gave way for you to guess that my Facebook wall is currently active. I made 4 posts since the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao th…

I once trimmed my bangs back when YouTube tutorials did not exist yet. I wanted to sport the same bangs like the celebrity most kids looked up to - she's no other than the legendary mother of all jologs:

I already told myself a million times that I'll never ever take any advice from Google whenever I feel something unusual in my body. It's a terrible idea. But if you knew me very well, then you'd know what I would do. And I did what I shouldn't have. I have a pancreafuck…

Last Monday was the first time I ever had a blue cheese and I almost gagged in front of scholars, businessmen, and the Australian ambassador to the Philippines. But since everything else on my plate was utterly delicious, I was able to compose myself, swallowed the cheese whole and immedi…

I think my cat, Appa, thinks I am super adorable that he decided to bite me. Well, if I had it my way, that's how I would show my fondness to Jan too. Except, there will be no bleeding. Appa is actually sweet and affectionate. He follows me wherever I am. He sits on my lap whenever …

The past week until today has been the Mondayest week ever. To be honest, it felt like I am stuck in an episode of The Walking Dead where everything nasty and ugly is chasing you and badly wants you dead (and here I am talking as if I watch TWD) . For more than a week, I really thought th…

I don't always get sick but when I do I get the nastiest cough and cold virus ever. I think this is the first time in 2016 that I got hit (yeah, I'm a hardy like that). I was all and well training Muay Thai, then the next day I have a sore throat, then came the fever, and now my v…

WARNING: This will be another cheesy random blog post. Although that warning wouldn't really matter because, apparently, everyone in this planet loves cheese... Except me. It's probably what people will remember me by. The girl who hates cheese.

I am not over-thinking and I am not trying to be over dramatic here but I am pretty sure the internet is trying to kill me. With the round-the-clock birth of information and non-stop stream of news, not to mention the political hullabaloo happening on social media (this has got to be th…

Hi! I'm finally back! I guess, I really couldn't keep this blogging hiatus for a long time (yay!). Well, it's Saturday. I was slowly dying of boredom and I was about to finish myself off by listening to one more Justin Beiber song (I told you, I'm starting to become a Be…

At this point, people have already realized that on the internet: 1. Everyone has an opinion. 2. Everybody is smart. 3. Nobody knows you're a dog. Yes, these are the dark times.
