Continue reading →: Cavinti is nice, my friends are nicerIt was a great weekend. We were supposed to go to another island, but a lot of rejected RSVP came in and so we decided to change the plan to a quick getaway in our own province. It was the best 11 hours of sleep I had. My friends kept…

Continue reading →: About Us But Not About Us – It should’ve ended at 30 minsWhat an experience, let me start with that. My good friend, Em, passively convinced me to go back to watching Tagalog films again. Tagalog is my native language, and it’s challenging for me to listen to dialogues in Tagalog because I notice the little things, and it destroys the experience…

It all started two weeks ago, when my husband told me we should watch Argentina’s game in the World Cup. Curious, I said “Of course.” It was really interesting.

Continue reading →: Manon is missedSince Manon’s hiatus weeks ago, I found myself crawling through the skin of a 17-year-old fan girl who just lost her favourite girl group member. There is a certain kind of grief attributed to losing a member of a band or a group you like. It’s like you know it…

Continue reading →: I missed Argentina so we ate Argentine foodYesterday, I went to Makati to meet a friend and eat Argentinian food. I also wanted to introduce my dear friend to Argentine cuisine. Apparently, there aren’t a lot of Argentinian restaurants in Makati, luckily, there’s Chingolo. First of all, this is not the type of restaurant we’d go to…
