Love Somebody – Maroon 5
I haven’t been on Youtube in a long time. So I never really watched any videos of my favourite songs. But last week, I was slacking off a bit…and saw this video of “Love Somebody”. It is one of my favourite songs from the Overexposed...
My first visit to Cebu (Part 1 of 3, Cebu)
I’ve never been to Cebu. I have heard lots of great things about it but I never had the chance to visit. Until Endre came to the Philippines for a month-long stay. Endre first visited Cebu last year during the Sinulog Festival. It was love...
Taco rice bowl
My last kitchen experiment left me with lots more salsa than I could consume. I need to replenish my nacho chip supply, which for some weird reasons, seem to disappear into thin air in less than 24 hours after purchase. I found a very easy...
A multi-pronged approach to learning French
I have a confession to make. I am bored with my classes at Alliance Francaise. Not only bored, but also a little disappointed. I am not satisfied with the fact that I still cannot express myself orally using simple sentences. You only get a maximum...
A weekend of weird
I don’t know how to begin this. I wasn’t expecting anything; I didn’t even have a list of things to do. But some things have a way of sneaking up on you and then you go whaaaaat. I like compliments. But I don’t beg for...
Homemade salsa version 1.0
The first team nacho night at Vernon’s apartment was a huge success. On Friday, we had nachos, roast chicken and tons of beer. We didn’t want anything that involved lots of cooking so we bought everything from SM Aura and the only complicated things were...
Post-Valentine’s Day Story Telling Session
I had an OK V-Day. At least much better than last year. As I am on the late shift, I went to the gym in the morning. After gym, I got cupcakes for the boys — ahem, men — at work. For Vernon, I got...

Kudos, Michael Christian Martinez!
Kevin turned the office TV on just in time for us to watch this young man perform. Imagine that: a Filipino figure skater in the Winter Olympics. Yep, 17-year-old Michael Christian Martinez is the sole representative of the Philippines in the Sochi Winter Olympics 🙂...
Back to language teaching?
Almost 3 months into my job as an economic specialist, I got an additional role at work: Tagalog teacher for my boss. As he will be based in Manila for 2 years, he is very keen on learning the language. He is married to a...
Strangebrew – Pancit habhab and Lucban longanisa episode
I remember watching this episode. That shrill “pansiiiit” call by the habhab vendor, Tado’s fart, making longanisa. God, they used to make great TV before. And Tado and Erning were probably ad-libbing 90% of the time. Buti pala nakakatulong ang barkada no. Sa iba mong...
