Sarap Maging Pilipino

Tomorrow is the 116th Independence day of the Philippines & for this post, we decided to blog in our own language–Filipino. 🙂 ———- Wag magugulat, ngayong araw, naisipan naming magsulat gamit ang wikang Filipino.   (Minsan lang ‘to diba?) Bukas ay ang ika-116 nang araw ng ating Kalayaan! (Salamat sa aking mga guro, hindi na ata maalis […]

My Great Food 15-Second Cooking Challenge

Remember how they used to tell you not to play with your food as a kid?  Honestly, until now, I’m still not convinced that we shouldn’t.  I mean, isn’t it just more fun to add a few things here & there to make your food more enjoyable to eat? 😀  Ponggo & I have drafted

Lost in Translation

One night, one of my classmates from high school commented on my personal Facebook post & said, “I remember you had one of the nicest penmanships” to which Ponggo replied, “Are they blind?!?!” The other week, Ponggo & I were editing a video.  He was checking the script I prepared & here’s how the convo went:

Why I Have No Weekends

I’ve been trying to trace back when this started & why I have no weekends. I practcially have no weekends.  Well, if I legitimately do, I start getting guilty.  I’d bring my laptop or any pending work where Ponggo & I will be going.  (More often than not, I end up being unproductive).  I also

Sunburn Phases

Ponggo & I spent a few hours of our workcation by the beach.  I know, I know: The word “workcation” doesn’t actually exist. Think staycation is for people who want to go on a vacation but are staying in a hotel or their homes and workcation is for people who want to go on a

I’m creating this blog post as we’re on our way from Paoay, Laoag, Ilocos Norte to Pagudpud.

All Of Me by John Legend

Every single time I’m asked “Are you busy?” I always answer, “Yes I am”.  Finally, it has gotten to a point where I got tired of hearing myself that I’m busy so I would just tell my friends, “Yes I am but I stopped thinking about it”.  Deadlines have been piling up lately and I’ve been

Self-doubt Cycle

Every time people ask why I exercise, I tell them that it’s cheaper & more productive than hiring a psychiatrist. The tricky thing about jobs like designing is that most of the time, it’s just you and your mind. You start coming up with an idea then that critic inside you will reject it. The

Addicted to the 2048 App

I don’t know who among my friends actually posted a screenshot of their 2048 score but from then on, suddenly, there were more moments of silence in the house.  You see, the 2048 app is a game where you move the blocks around the square & combine the 2’s & 4’s until you get the

Happy 5th Birthday Googly Gooeys!

Every time April 26 approaches, I panic a bit.  I don’t know what to write about.  I’m done going through the lengthy history of how the Googly Gooeys came about and doing something similar each year would be boring.  I also don’t know if I should stop explaining that April 26, 2009 was the evening that

I’m writing this on the eve of the 5th birthday of the Googly Gooeys and I couldn’t be any more grateful.  I think I just met the awesomest, inspiring & most humble artist in my life!  Ponggo & I were at the Tokidoki launch at SM City North Edsa today & we got to meet

I’m just really really happy that even if my computer is not currently fully functional, my screen’s at least working!  We were at a meeting the other day when my laptop screen just decided to go black for no reason.  *Yikes!*  Anyway, after having it slightly repaired, the LCD’s aliiiiive again! *Whew* I just can’t

The Long Weekend is Over

This Holy Week, I was initially thinking of giving up chocolates.  Then, it just dawned on me, I can’t do that! You can let me exercise but please, don’t take away the goodness of bittersweet dark chocolate!  So I had to think of something else that I was always attached to.  Then it came to

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not + Heima Paper Club

Finally tired of leaving my life unto the hands of fate, instead of finding out whether “He loves me” or “He loves me not”, I started counting the petals on the flowers instead before picking them. They should be odd-numbered!!  I just realized that I should’ve taken it further!  I should’ve made paper flowers instead.

The Benefits of Exercising

So, I started working out again last December.  Well, technically, I can’t really just exercise for the sake of it.  I need to move with music through dance in general.  (Wait, don’t tell me I haven’t warned you about how awkward I dance).  I was nursing this injury for two years & finally got tired

His & Her Mess Plus Paper Club’s Craft & Be Merry

I was staring at this comic for a while & thinking, “Gahhh! What a stereotypical cartoon about girls & boys.} The character Tipsy is busy with arts & crafts while Ponggo is busy with his handyman stuff. Then again, I just realized I can’t call our situation purely typical because to start with, I can’t
