I know I’ve said this before but I noticed that a majority of the people I know from the blogging / social media world are actually introverts. Well, they may appear as extroverts during events and gatherings but I would usually catch them in their downtime wearing a do not disturb me face. 🙂 Hehehe. […]
Here’s more of the Flotsam & Jetsam x Vitamin Sea La Union weekend with photos taken by Abbey Sy! 🙂 If you missed the first post, click here. I was around 4 months pregnant when we were there and I just realized that 1) I can no longer bend and squat as much 2) I have limited
Honestly, saying “honestly speaking” has always been awkward. This is so especially when the person you talk to is quick enough to pick up the fact that maybe the reason why you’ve been using the phrase is that you’ve been dishonest to them before! So, when you’re thinking about using that phrase, think again! It’s
This is the downside of letting your heart decide on things that involve logistics & logic. It gets pretty…hmm…tippy. Now I know why I earned that nickname IRL. 😛 Tippy apparently means unstable. That is, not to be confused with Tipsy which I earned from some other life event. Anyway, This is how Ponggo &
So I was having a conversation with my dad the other day. I noticed that our lines were familiar. It’s practically an old discussion repeating itself. I told him, “Why are you so kind? You always forget what they’ve done to you!?” I told him to forgive but never forget. Well, of course, I sounded
For the nth time, while watching a documentary, I blurted out my usual line “What if there are snakes?” Ponggo hates me for this. I don’t know why this is my default question whenever he brings up the topic of plants, hiking, forest & desert. Hehehehe. Don’t get me wrong though, I enjoy hiking. Once
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:
Every now & then I would stumble upon a celebrity’s Instagram or Twitter account & scroll down for comments. What I end up finding is some YouTube like comments section where people would have already died if words could kill. Apparently, no amount of good deed can ever please the naysayers and those who want
A cousin of mine would sit down & talk to me for an hour about a new beauty product, its benefits, why, why, why I should buy it and why it’s better compared to the other brands I use. I would laugh & tease her. “You sound like a salesperson and to think you’re not
Not to be mistaken with our real set of Frequently Asked Questions our Instagram FAQ’s, here’s a set of frequently asked questions by relatives & friends! I just realized through the years that when people are asking you these answers, it’s not as if you’re obliged to grab random guy & label him your boyfriend
Every time I have to convince a friend to join us on a scary theme park ride, they always ask, “What’s the point of all this? Why do we need to scare ourselves?” I go on gladly explaining that we are living in a time & place (at least within 200 kilometers of where I
My friend shared how good it felt to follow one’s heart & this was my response. Anyway, I was just scrolling through all the files & searching for the latest post & I just realized we have a lot of entries that start with who, what, when, where, how & why! Read on & review

Hello, hello! We’re back once again! Ponggo & I had a tough but very productive and fulfilling working weekend. We ended it nicely with a filling dinner and a quick skate at the rink. Since were were sleep-deprived and tired by Sunday night, we were didn’t necessarily in the cheeriest of dispositions. [May I also
The other night, Ponggo & I were working on a project. I was telling him to use another software but he won’t budge. Then, he was asking me for instructions from time to time. Years ago, one of my bosses told me that the best way to teach someone is by helping them discover stuff
One of the gifts that I appreciated the most while I was growing up was this thick dictionary. Lol. (Geek! Sorry, you can’t UNgeek a geek). If you’ve been reading the blog for a long time, you would know by now that I’m not much of a writer and I don’t have a huge vocabulary.
Life in the 21st century has become conveniently inconvenient and thanks to social networking, not a week passes by without anyone having something to complain about how a “friend” or relative behaves online! The bad news is, there is no middle ground. Posting anything as in ANYthing or even your mere absence will earn you
Our first ever fight back when we were still dating (umm…more than 10 years ago) was pretty much about this. When I said yes he thought I was really saying yes but he didn’t know that I was secretly hurting slash dying inside. Apparently, for certain people yes is yes and no is no. For
Try reading the title again when you’re done reading the comics! 🙂 This is how I am each time I’m talking to someone on the phone & (a) I’m at a dead spot or (b) when the lovely lovely (*sarcastic*) cellphone network is acting up. I would start the conversation with a good mood then
Gift-giving is probably not the most exciting part of our relationship. After so many years of trying, Ponggo has finally given up on me. I have way too many comments about all the presents he has given me. One year, he tries to guess the clothes I might like. Last Christmas, he bought me stuff that
