All the food and drinks from Blogapalooza

Hello, guys. I was supposed to pull this post up last week if not for me overworking myself, so before I go back to bed, here’s a quick recap of all the food and drinks that I’ve had from last week’s “Blogapalooza: Horizons” in Quezon City. Arla / Cocio Arla and Cocio are distributed by the same company in the country, Fly Ace Corporation, from Denmark. Prior to drinking Cocio, one of my friends recommended it, and his recommendation is not a joke at all. At a price range of Php60 to Php70, I guess this one’s worth its taste and price. ...

Blogapalooza: Horizons — 21 May 2016

It’s been a long time (not really, it’s been two years) since I got into Blogapalooza— the first one I had is at SMX Aura in Taguig — and while the event’s got a bit smaller, it had great content compared to my previous visit in 2014. This year’s event is held at the Elements event venue inside Eton Centris along Quezon Avenue and EDSA in Quezon City. Elements has two function rooms, and a fashion show is being held next door. ...

Nyancon at Antipolo City — 15 May, 2016

I’m back in Antipolo once again, but this time, I went to NyanCon 2016 (dubbed as “The NyanContinues”) at Robinsons Place Antipolo just earlier. Here are few of the shots that I got en route and on location: LRT Line 2 Extension It’s good to know that the Light Rail transit’s Line 2 Extension is on full-swing, and they’re building it starting from the Masinag area. The sky ...

On Politics

Hi, everyone. I am currently relaxing at home, trying to make do with what I have at the moment. But earlier in the morning, I received the confirmation of our faithful that we will vote for Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. I am wary of mentioning this guy as (1) this is the internet, (2) all of us are jerks, and most of us jerks are going to shove our beliefs to others (with the latter either swallowing it like a bitter pill or expelling it in a way similar to those who shove it). ...

Two Cities — 30 April, 2016

Alright, here I was on a Saturday, going out to different places once more. Cyberzone Cosplay Craze at Light Mall Mandaluyong Light Mall, accessible through the Boni MRT Station, is the next destination for the Cyberzone Cosplay Craze — previously, they were in Masinag. Here are some photos from the event. …someone took a 360-degree photo of all the cosplayers as well. I took some behind-the-scenes pictures as well, but while I was doing that, I’m told not to move as it might distort the output. I’m waiting for the output to come this week. I hope it’s not distorted. ...

Lee Hak — 29 April 2016

“For having loved and lost, you are a richer person.” Man, I love that message veiled in the curtains of this restaurant. We are treated to this good place at Pioneer St., Mandaluyong City called Lee Hak Korean Buffet, and I took this opportunity to add more photos for today. I heard that Lee Hak was not a buffet resto from the start, but when they converted to buffet, they are welcomed by a lot of people nearby. In addition, its proximity to Shaw Boulevard, Brgy. Kapitolyo and the Greenfield District (then called EDSA Central) makes it a good catch. ...

Today’s Photos — 29 April 2016

Taking a break from the recently-finished Tourism Lifestyle & Business Expo, here’s the photos that I took in the middle of the night. The one above is at Kapitolyo in Pasig at twilight, where there’s no one around. This one is at the Glorietta Mercato Centrale night market — a half-liempo meal worth Php50, just the right one I want to eat as a treat after being on the field for half a day or so. ...

I saw FLOW, and here’s what we’ve talked about

Hi, everyone. To be honest, I wasn’t able to pick a better title for this post, but let me tell you that yours truly were among the ones who are granted by Otakuzine Anime Magazine to do an interview with Japanese band FLOW during Ozine Fest 2016’s first day. Let’s get to the questions that the media have asked FLOW before they met their fans on this quick post. This is just a quick gist, so don’t expect much. ...
