One thing that I keep reading about on social media is that Salted Egg Potato Chips are popular these days here in the Philippines. I keep seeing photos of it and read about it being raved about by some friends and I was curious. What was the big deal? How come I have never seen […]
To the guys who tend to read my blog, this may be the post that you’d like to skip. I don’t think you’ll get much from it. It’s about that time of the month and some zero-waste concerns about it. My sister and I were talking about how difficult it was to go zero-waste when […]
There was a time when I loved putting on makeup. I hardly ever put on makeup when I was still a student so when I finally started working, I started wearing makeup to work and whenever I needed to go out. Lately, however, I have shied away from using too much makeup. My policy on […]
One of the things that fascinated me when I moved to the province was the locally-produced products in my grandmother’s hometown. One of those products is a fabric/textile that people call “habi.” Photo Credit: Edrock Photography The word “habi” means “to weave.” In the town of Maragondon, Cavite this is the term used for the […]
It has been nine months since this pandemic has started affecting the country. So much about our daily lives has changed, work-life included. We were off to a bumpy start at first: I was allowed to work from home at the beginning, then I was no longer allowed to work from home two months later. […]
One of the things that I have learned during this pandemic is that sometimes, life can turn on a dime and lead to things that we never expected. For the most part, it has led me to things, to life, that I am not used to. It has also led other people to different situations […]
Television is a big thing for me. My parents were very strict about TV time when I was a child and we didn’t have cable TV growing up so now I am crazy about TV shows and make it a point to watch as much of it as I can whenever I have the time. […]
The recent “scandal” involving a photo of Khloe Kardashian has raised a discussion on authenticity among celebrities and social media influencers. I find myself conflicted about this issue. On one end, I think we all try to show the best versions of ourselves online and for that reason it should not be a surprise that […]
I’m not much of a shopper. I am the type who only shops out of need more than out of want, which would explain my lack of proper wardrobe for going out (because I hardly do). When I do shop, I make a list then I’m in and out of the store as soon as […]
A couple of months ago a co-worker offered me some of her breakfast smoothies. It was made of cucumber, lemons, honey, and celery. It wasn’t bad and it was also very filling so I decided to try it myself. I ended up shopping for enough ingredients to make one glass a day for two weeks. […]
Pets. I have never had pets of my own. I do not think that I am a pet person, to be honest. I have always wanted one, but it is too big a commitment for me that I never got around to having one. I have never enjoyed movies that featured animals but when I […]
Meralco. I think the word inspires as much terror for me as the term COVID 19 does. When word got out that the recent Meralco bills of almost everyone I knew were way more than double of what they usually were, I already expected the worst when the meter reader came by to read our […]
A little bit of trivia: I like tinkering with stuff and figuring how things work. If I can fix things on my own without bringing it to a repairman, I will try to do it myself. I’m such a guy that way. My parents told me that it’s something that I’ve been into since I […]
New Normal. It is a term that has been thrown out there so many times during this pandemic. All over the world, people are talking about how there should be a new way that we live our “normal” lives. A way where we can continue to do the things that we used to do, except […]
