I remember during the first few days of my Muay Thai training, my trainer made some comments about my natural fighting stance, how it's easy for a beginner like me to learn the roundhouse kick, and how good I was at throwing punches (the uppercut was quite a challenge though). It was …

For the first time in my entire life, I got scammed. I thought I was smart enough not to be fooled, but here I am. I was on Facebook, mindlessly viewing how my friends spent the last 24 hours. And in the middle of these stories, I came across a video ad. I didn't even bother to watch …

Much has happened the past weeks. I don't even know where to begin. But I guess, I'll start with the news that we now have two feral toddlers to keep an eye on.  Our little girl, Isabel, turned one this month. And I know I have already said that we won't be traveling until she…

I think I now know what hell is like. It's where you have all the delicious food you can eat right before you but can't because your stomach is on a rather violent protest.  Food poisoning. That's what you get for committing one of the seven deadly sins. In my defense, I was j…

If it wasn't for the blog contest entry that I posted a few days ago, you all would have assumed that I have been zapped into Uranus and never return. Well, to those who love hate-reading me, sucks to be you, I am still here! I kid about the haters, of course. I don't remember …

December kicked off sweetly and along with it came not just one but several good news! 1.) We finally got our passports with approved visas! We might fly to South Korea this winter so we can experience what's it like being bundled up in layers and still get frostbitten then agre…

With the series of strong earthquakes happening in our city, I thought I'd never go braless inside our home again. I hate bras not only because they are uncomfortable but I also had to deal with the trouble of trying to tug my boobies back into their proper positions as if they are al…

Jan and I cried the other night. But that's because of a freakin onion that stings more than any of the hundreds of onions I've cut in my entire life. I have never been terrorized by anything, not even by my mom who recounted those embarrassing moments during my teen years in …

After days of anxious anticipation and nights of reading horror stories of rejection and denial, Jan and I reached the highest level of excitement when we received our passports with approved visas yesterday that we did not feel the strong earthquake that shook our city. You see, the bi…

That I apparently forgot to post. And I'd like you to believe I was busy. 1. Bagged two awards at the Davao Blog Awards co-presented by PLDT-Smart. Best Personal Blog

When I told the universe I'm ready for the great stuff, awesomeness started pouring in. I just hope I don't jinx this, but it does feel like the entire universe is working in my favor. Don't get it wrong though. My life is not exactly all rainbows and butterflies as I would …

Life, lately, has not been exactly boring nor exciting. But all is well. I can't promise I'll be back writing up a storm again but I will post a few shit no one cares about  to let you know I'm still alive. Here's what I've been up to lately. 1. Sleep I'm the …

I’m not claiming to be an interesting person but new and seemingly interesting things happened lately. Plus, I need more entries for this blog, so here goes.

Today, I thought of making a Christmas  New Year's wishlist just so I have something to blog about. But I've already gotten more than what I would have wished for. Also, it would just make me feel guilty knowing that Jan gave me an iPhone SE for Christmas while all I got for him w…

For the first time in my life, I wished I have the singing voice and be in a musical. Well actually, I have been part of musicals. The biggest one I had was just a mere school play in college. But what difference does it make? I think the only line that divides both professional and a…

I was one of the bloggers chosen to run for the recently held Color Manila's Blacklight Run because I am fit. Wait, let me state that accurately. They thought I was fit. It has been what? Eight months since my last strenuous activity . I have a legitimate excuse though: my left…

I change my mind. I do not dream of becoming a sports and outdoor TV host anymore. This is the third time in a row that I am invited to speak in public. And I wouldn't say I'm good at it. I just watched my last public speaking stint and boy, was I so fidgety. I can hear my voi…

I promised myself I will become a better blogger. And by that I mean, take better pictures like how most bloggers would do. I've been going places and doing stuff lately that would have been blog-worthy. But I failed big time. 1.) I took a Basic Mountaineering Course (1, 2, and 3…

2016 was a roller coaster ride. A lot of sh*t happened. But then again, a lot of great things surprised me too. And here are a few pages of the 365-page book that I have just finished writing. First Quarter L-R, top row to bottom 1. Salomon City Trail Run (12k) 2. Archery. Not…

I have got to admit, I rarely ever check my blog email. Yes, the one I posted on my contact page so people can get in touch with me. I wouldn't know that I was getting a handful of emails until Kuya Andrew (Davao Bloggers Society's President) asked me if I got an email from Resor…
