I will always remember 2022 as the Year of Revenge. Not because I was able to exact retaliation Godfather-style, but because I finally got to travel again. You see, the pandemic put a gigantic monkey wrench into our plans. Thankfully, 2022 put an end to the isolation and stagnancy. And I finally hit the road,…
Travel is back! And that means my relationship with my phone’s music applications (both Spotify and Apple Music) has been rekindled. That also means I’m back to counting down the songs that I listened to the most while on the road this year. So here it goes!
Got this in the mail a few months ago. It’s a Tateyama sake cup sent to us by a partner agency in Japan. Cute! Ngayon ko lang naalala ulit ‘to kasi may balita na magluluwag na ulit ang Japan, and gaaaah I can’t wait to return!

The other night, a chat with a friend reminded me of 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 — YEARS 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟒-𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟔. Craziest, yes, but it was also the most prolific. Within these 3 short years, I served as social media consultant to a number of companies at the same time. I returned to Globe and led…
The other night, my sister-in-law and I were talking about the fruits we enjoyed munching on growing up. I mentioned that while I loooove all fruits — there’s only one that comes to mind that I don’t particularly like — MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES are coconut, langka (jackfruit), melon, mango, pineapple, avocado, guyabano, and lanzones.
