As far as I can tell this is the most consistent that I have ever been here in my own little corner of the Internet. I have been updating here since January and clearly that needs applauding because for now I don't have the urge to abandon this concept yet. So welcome to Best of: March edition. If I can describe this, I would say it's the amalgamation of all the things that I was obsessing over of the featured month. It could be songs, or a movie, or an Instagram post, or articles online. Basically ANYTHING. As long as I like it. That's my only prerogative.  Deep dive along, you guys ..read more

  Hey.  I know. It's not end of March where I occasionally peek here to roundup my monthly obsessions but here I am introducing a new update which I know eventually will just be a one-time thing, lol. I'm supposed to write this through a new Substack newsletter but then I remember that I already have one which I am slowly and surely abandoning. Don't get me wrong please. I will never run out of ideas with the newsletter because I always have journal entries every month. But suddenly I kind of lose the energy and the enthusiasm to continue with the project. So here I am attempting ..read more

  I feel that this thing has been gathering dust and no one seems around, including myself WHO created this website in the first place, to clean up the mess by just mere updating. I have to admit that I have taken this space for granted and I am not proud of it. At all. In fact, every sentiment here since then bore the same apologies and my intention is to turn things around by at least writing something here every month. At least one teensy lil update and that's all about it.  This post is brought to you by my favorite Instagram feature- the archive. The idea here is every mon ..read more

  As I am writing this, 35th year of existence kicked in. But prior to it, the twilight hours of my 34th were spent going to Bacolod, Boracay, staycation at Shell Residences and so much more. Consider this the photo dump you never asked for. Bacolod City, July 2020 I kept smiling when I was in Bacolod. No wonder, it is not called City of Smiles for nothing! I was with my colleagues and I can't wait for the next trip together! Boracay, August 2022 All those travelogues are never wrong, Boracay is that beach!  ..read more

  Hi.  If you are a reader, will you leave something in the comments section?  It seems like updating this website has become such a downer recently and I am actually thinking of abandoning this because I can't seem to keep with everything.  When I started this during the height of the pandemic, I envisioned it to be an apothecary of all my interests which for a time it is and then I just woke up one day and I feel that it is becoming such a chore. Which I reminded myself to complete abandon the thought. I have so many things to write here but I don't have just the ene ..read more

I know I haven't been updating here as much as I wanted to because as always life gets in the way. So this is me trying to pay penance by finally introducing a brand-new, squeakily-clean, sparkling feature for the blog!  It's an update no one asked for but I need to do this because my website has new readers since I have been promoting this nonstop to my students lols and I don't want them to berate me to high heavens because I have nothing new to offer. Whew. That was a breathless sentence.  So the question remains. What sort of gimmickry will I be doing to cater to those who ..read more
