NAGANO, Japan, 2023. “It was the early morning of December 10 when bloggers Yosh and Vins started their hike through the woods of Nagano Prefecture. The goal was simple: to see Japan’s famous snow monkeys bathing butt-naked in the onsen. The plan, straightforward: hike for an hour, take pictures, and leave. Little did they know,…
“Your aunt’s a very lucky woman, Angelica, because she has two lives,” I told Vins at one point while we were exploring Disney Sea. I then went on to narrate the ENTIRE SCRIPT of the trailer for “THE HOURS.” Not sure what was more confusing: the fact that I memorized the script by heart or…
A Boracay-based follower invited us to her cafe for a drink and introduced us to some of her friends in the island. And when they noticed we were just a few subscribers short, they subscribed and we finally made it past 100K! 💙 Super pak na pahabol na birthday gift ng universe!

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…
