    Hey Ach. Your roommate Jean doesn't look that happy at meeting you. And why are most of the pics blurry?

    I know right! Hahaha. There's one more roomie coming. I hope at least she'll like me.

    Most of the pics are blurry because I took them with my phone. The ones that AREN'T were either

    a.) taken with the digicam
    b.) taken with good lighting and with a steady hand

We quit our jobs and traveled to Japan!

Like I mentioned in my last post, I got married!!! However, because of this stupid capitalist system that prioritizes worker productivity over well-being, we didn't have enough leaves saved up to go on a long enough vacation. So, we did something kinda crazy... And quit both our jobs at the same time.  I know, I know, it's such a stupid decision to both quit at the same time. But really, if we hadn't done it, when would we ever   have had the time to just go travel and enjoy our lives?! I had already consumed all my vacation leaves by going on my wedding and then our hometown reception, and Rap's work as an infirmary doctor did not allow him to take more than a couple days off at a time.  So, we quit. And, using some of the money we got as gifts from our wedding, we were able to spend 12 amazing days in Japan. Here's what we did. Day 0 Flight to Tokyo Check-in at Shibuya Do side quests Dinner with Tita Baby and Tito Mak Our Tokyo trip was off to a bumpy takeoff whe...

It's kind of funny to me that my last post was published around this time last year, and I've just been radio silent since then. And it wasn't even a legit blog post, just something I had written for a job application and decided to publish because I am lazy.  It's absurd that SO many blog-worthy things have happened over the course of a year, and yet I've been quiet as a rock. So, to recap: January - Attended the most lovely anniversary party of my lolo and lola in CDO. It was extra special because Rap was in CDO with me for the holidays for the first time ever, and he got to spend time with my grandparents and my big family. Two weeks later, Lola unexpectedly passed away from a stroke. Such painful contrast of extreme joy and grief that I'm still grappling with today.  December 24 - Noche Buena at our grandparents' home in CDO. The OG CDO cousins - and Rap! December 27 , 2023- Lolo and Lola's 65th anniversary at Harbor Lights.  Obligatory Tumpakners w...

Kapelikula

Checkitawt! That's me and Rap with Arnold Arre, director, illustrator, writer. He was the guest speaker at Kapelikula, a Loyola Film Circle event with free coffee, free donuts, and a ONE-ON-ONE SESSION WITH ARNOLD ARRE!!! Okay, I can't pretend like I'm a big fan of his, because before his name had ever come up at the Film Circle, I didn't know who he was or what he did. And to pretend like I AM a big fan of his would just be insulting to all his genuine fans who have read his work and watched his films. But anyway. He was a really nice guy. This one LFC kid actually asked Mr. Arre to draw him (the kid) on his(the kid's) copy of Mythology Class (the book), and he (Mr. Arre) happily obliged. . . . I was glad to have been able to play a part in this event, and not just as a participant, but also as the coffee-buyer. (proud face) Yeahhh. You heard me. I bought the coffee. That was all my doing. :D It wasn't easy, but I managed. How could I not, when the tremendo...
