 Arts and Music Festival

Early yesterday morning, Izza (Thanks dudette!) gave me a heads up about an arts and music festival being held at SM Mega Mall. I checked the event schedule and I found two  two events that seemed to be good photo shooting opportunities: a body painting fashion show and a cosplay fashion show. As luck would [...]



 Gaming Day

Yesterday, my friends and I went to the friendly neighborhood internet cafe and spent the whole afternoon playing CounterStrike and DOTA. It’s been some time since I played any game but I did reasonably well with CounterStrike. On the other hand, I sucked big-time at DOTA. My excuse is my lack of interest in it [...]



 Badminton Milestone

This morning, I played badminton. Actually, It’s been a regular thing for a few weeks already. But today is special because I hit a milestone: I played my first scored game! Yeah! It was a doubles match and we lost 2-1. But hey we fought hard :P Now, though it’s still several milestones off, I’m [...]



 Cole Haan Everywhere

I was reading a magazine when I saw this ad for a Cole Haan shoe. The shoe was pretty nifty-looking so I checked the Cole Haan website. That was a week or two ago. Now, I’m seeing Cole Haan ads on some of the websites I go to. It’s just a small illustration of how [...]

 Cat O’ Nine Lives

Saw a car in front of me pass right over a kitten. Thankfully by some miracle it didn’t get hurt. And it immediately scampered to the side of the road. Lucky kitten. Must have been quite a scare though. UPDATE: My brother has a stranger experience, he saw kittens dropping off from under a van [...]



 Langues, Langues, Langues

Yesterday evening, I started French lessons at Alliance Francaise de Manille. I’ve had an on and off relationship with French. Tried studying it on my own through the years. A few years ago, I took the exact same course but I didn’t push through with it so it all sort of went to waste. But [...]
