  • Random Post

    Before I post about Hong Kong or that book I read, I need to get this out of the way. This has been (severely lacking and not necessarily in order) May 2013. Brilliant.

  • Whirlwind weekend: Makati Shangri-La

    After a week of fun and stress and excitement, I had the unexpected opportunity to relax with an overnight stay in Makati Shangri-La with my lovely mother, sister and tita. Since I’m not too overly invested to write about everything that happened, here are some pictures instead (with captions attached).  *Most of the pictures were…

  • Finished (somewhat) with the laundry! Most of my dirty clothes weren’t cleaned, actually, but I blame the limited clothesline space. Anyways. Using the washing machine is fun! Feeding the cats = fulfilling. I feel like a god. Lastly, yes I cooked! If you could call it cooking, haha. I made my mother and sister eat a slightly…

  • Just came home from a day trip to Tagaytay with the father’s side. Well, not literally just came home. It was to celebrate our paternal grandmother’s birthday; we surprised her with bad singing, flower bouquets and a chocolate cake during her stay for a triennial congress in CMCS. It is still very hot in Manila, but we’re…

  • Weekdays and breaks: a not-summary of events

    A graduation Some things end with a happier note; my sister left Ateneo de Manila with a degree in Comm Tech Management and lots of memories (but not a lot of tears). Okay, so this part serves a very simple purpose. I just want to remember what happened, ha. We spent two nights and three…

  • Green and blue is for you and you

    MY COLOR IS MAROON, oh yeah. In a manner as subtle as a ten-wheeler cruising down a highway (meaning, not very subtly at all) I managed to taint my beautiful maroon blood with a dash of De La Salle green. That’s right. My family is probably shuddering in distaste (they all consider themselves pro-Ateneo and anti-La…

  • Intermission

    I’ve got so many topics queued up in my blog to-write roll; here’s a little self-involved breather. It’s (almost) Valentine’s Day! And as such, I’m going out with some college friends for a Valentine’s Eve dinner of some sort. However, it’s also Ash Wednesday, so I had to opt out of some bonding activities (i.e. going to…

  • Twittery Tuesday

    I don’t even know what I’m doing with the post titles anymore. =)) Just posted a review of TDKR and another short piece on my faith feelings. :) Several things have happened in my life. Unfortunately, I can’t be bothered to write properly, so here are some fragments of awesome instead. Last week was a…

  • Paint: Happy Mothers’ Day!

    This made me (re)realize a couple of things: First, I really don’t know how to paint anything resembling a straight line. Second, I want a tablet for digital painting. Sigh. Third, scanning brings out the unique texture of the canvas.  Fourth, I love my mom.
