What not to give this Christmas? Christmas is fast-approaching and as much as we’d like to think that it’s that time of the year when everyone is partly giving a piece of their heart (and pockets) with these thoughtful gifts, the task of thinking of specific items for each person you love can be really […]
I’ve been wanting to write about this for a couple of weeks now but I tried postponing it until my pile of pending artworks came to a decent level. I’ve been scrambling to find my scratch paper of notes this morning (proof that I must really get myself a notebook) and I thought I almost
A few years back, I found this ad where there’s an image of a cup of coffee about to spill on a laptop. That photo haunted me so much that until this day, I make it a point that my drink is far enough to damage my laptop. I thought I was able to escape
It feels great to make a difference in the lives of other people. Recently, one of the worst disasters struck the Philippines. Thousands of people are left with nothing–literally nothing. Houses were pummeled by the fierce winds. Water washed away their livelihood and everything was gone in a matter of hours. News on TV was
You’ve already heard so many times how people would complain about other people who are addicted to taking photos of themselves. Call it self-love, obsession, vanity or whatever term but you can’t help but be puzzled as to what could possibly be the motivation behind it. There are thousands (or even millions) of other subjects
This been a busy year or rather, a busier year. I know I’m not supposed to be claiming to be an authority at being able to manage my schedule. From time to time, I always panic and get stressed about what I’ve put myself into. However, I’ve been trying to change the way I work
You’ve seen it all! You know what happens during the holidays. Traffic gets bad and the malls get filled up with shoppers looking for last minute gifts. For a change, save yourself from the hassle this year by shopping early & shopping online! How about this? Online sites easily have gift suggestions for each
Blogopolis is like a blog congress where both bloggers & advertisers get to learn more about blogging, the social media & how to maximize it. This year’s theme is #IntoTheWild wherein WILD stands for Weaving Information for the Leaders of the Digital World! Blogging & social media can indeed be very tricky. Sometimes, it feels
In the devastating aftermath of typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda), the Philippines needs all the help it can get right now. You see, the biggest challenge here is that the country is an archipelago and the affected areas are separate smaller islands which makes the distribution of goods more tricky. However, since most of
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
As you may know, the Philippines is currently in a state of calamity due to the recent Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda). This super typhoon is known to be the biggest storm to hit the world this year. The video footage on the news over the weekend were really heart-breaking even some of our
Yesterday, I was so sleepy and I just didn’t know what to do on my desk. I was too lazy to get myself coffee so I extended my arm & tried getting a shut eye for a few seconds. Then I realized I’m blessed with a fluffy arm (a.k.a. an instant pillow). You see, all
Dear Santa, This Christmas, I’m not even wishing for a toy, a Lego house or a set of art materials. Apparently, the things I’m wishing for these days are stuff that cannot be bought or sold! Here’s my grown-up Christmas list: 1) I wish it would rain chocolates! -I’d also like to be specific about
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
Hello Folks! We’re back! We’ve been vampires for the past few days with grueling working hours–mostly offline and often staying up late to finish some things! But just like Frankenstein, we’re grateful to be aliiiive and grateful too for all things that have been coming our way although we still feel a bit zombie-ish
For the longest time, everyone has been trying to create the smallest music players, digital cameras with the highest number of megapixels and the fastest & most affordable laptops. But, what’s happening now? There seems to be a newfound appreciation for retro things ( and yup, I’m guilty of it ). Example No. 1:
Ponggo & I have been craving for a vacation for the longest time now. For the past few months, we felt like we were always toiling the day (and night) away. We’ve been dreaming & daydreaming about these travel destinations: Years ago, a friend of ours who really loves to travel shared with us Air
Hello folks! I’m back! I’m aliiive. Well, I was knocked down by a bad flu for two and a half days. I’m not feeling extremely well but I think half of the scary flu is gone. (I hope I didn’t jinx it just by declaring that it has walked away). Anyway, last week, I was
The Life of a Cronut & Other Food Fads What’s the latest food fad that you can think of? Remember how everyone wanted a jar of speculoos or how almost all the bakeries had their own versions of macarons? Have you noticed how all these cupcake bakeries popped up like mushrooms or how these pancake places
If you’re reading the blog for the first time today and you’re looking for the main characters Tipsy, the pink goo & Ponggo, the blue goo as promised in the about section, worry not, they haven’t been eaten by a tiger & a lion respectively (even though it may look like it). In the spirit
