A few Sundays ago, I decided to hit the road to fetch Jan in General Santos City. Honestly, with the cost of fuel consistently going up where a 500-peso worth of gas won't get you anywhere, I could have just let him commute because that would have been obviously waaaay cheaper.  But a…

You are probably here because you wanted to hear about the tale of a murder mystery that unfolded on the night of December 2nd.  While the scent of frustration and betrayal still linger around some of the sorry victims, allow me to recount the story of this seemingly innocent lady, who ca…

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 …

I have always talked about my shoes. Thought maybe I'd also talk about my feet. Haha.  Ugh. 🙄  And here's the thing: I don't like my feet because they're ugly.  You could say they're a whole new level of hideous. Dry, cracked, calloused, wrinkly, and veiny.  (Which do…

It's the first day of October and the first thing I read on my Facebook news feed today is my friend's call to ignore messages coming from her account. Apparently, she was hacked and the said hacker had been asking money from anyone on her friends list. This is not the first time…
