Year: 2018

It all begins with an impression. One that is captured through accurate electronic eyes. Every property, every faint detail of contrast and hue, of black and white, every sensation that depicts how light is reflected and perceived, is brought to an almost tangible state. Then stored with precision into countless tiny bits of digitized form.…

Bulalo – Beef-based soup dish cooked with vegetables with beef bones thrown in the mix. The broth mixture is light. Meat is tender. Best served hot. Tawilis – This is not a cooking style or recipe. It is the local name of a small-sized freshwater fish that can only be found in the Philippines particularly…

        Poblacion food hop @ Makati City on 5th November 2018 – Food tripping on my birthday!   ABKD (Ah-ba-ka-dah) – Started with coffee @ 4pm-ish. Too bad their kitchen was still closed. Would have loved to have tried their chicken skin bites. So-so taste for the coffee. It wasn’t all that…

iFlix was recommended to me just over a month ago, when I was in the market looking for alternative video streaming services. I have never even heard of it before. But the name sounds catchy. It even rhymes with something else, doesn’t it? Like Netflix. They also have a 1 month free offer with no…

Mamma Mia! the musical @ Solaire Resort & Casino, Parañaque City, Metro Manila on 11th October 2018 – Nope, I didn’t watch Mamma Mia! the musical. My mom did. I only waited for her outside. Took these photos while killing the time for 3 hours.

As much as I love to write, so it is when it comes to reading. Since I was young I have always been fascinated with books. Perhaps I got it from my father. He always was reading something for as long as I can remember. Until now. Lately I have been slacking in the “book…

Shot taken last 3rd September 2018 around 7:01PM on board Cebu Pacific flight 5J806 as it slowly descends down the taxiways towards the runway, awaiting for its turn to take off from Changi Airport, Singapore. This is my final good bye to you Singapore. My home away from home for the last 7 years or…

I am a beer drinker. Definitely not wine. Whiskey is okay. Rhum I can handle. Vodka is something I would rather stay away from. But beer is beer. Perhaps my preferred alcoholic beverage by far. Beer is quite simple. Heavy to the tummy. As varied in taste as wines. Yet undeniably satisfying. For a long…

My shit has been a mess for a while now. It has been for the last 2 plus years. I thought I had it all figured out when I made that decision one fateful day more than 3 years ago. It turns out I really did not. I thought I was ready to take the…

I couldn’t be more excited when I learned they were doing a musical on the hit Eraserheads (a.k.a. Eheads) single, and arguably the best – Ang Huling El Bimbo. The story is supposedly loosely based on the song. And then sprinkled with a healthy dose of other Eheads originals, albeit tweaked to make it more…

… or take a few months. Which makes it 6-plus-ish something years. But who’s counting? Right? In case I have not mentioned it yet, I’m not talking about when was the last time I posted something here. Well, it could be that too. But instead, I am talking about me coming back to the Philippines…
