“The Secret Lives of Books” Exhibit — 3 June 2016

In celebration of the 20th year anniversary of the Filipinas Heritage Library, an exhibit called “The Secret Lives of Books” by artist and designer Karl Castro.

Inside the exhibit, there are stories of Karl’s involvement in the works of notable writers Ricky Lee and Antoinette Jadaone, as well as his design works published in the Philippine Collegian of the University of the Philippines. ...

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. ...

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.

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. ...

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. ...

Ozine Fest 2016–16 April, 2016

I was thinking of a photo to highlight this post, and I picked this one. The runner-up was this: Negative comments aside, I was able to enjoy the first day of Ozine Fest 2016 yesterday. Why enjoy, when you have all of these terrible matters out of the blue? Simple: I went there to hang out with friends, and not to write a report about it. Well, I’m considering this as a report, but nah, I’m going to enjoy the day with my friends. ...

TAGCOM 2016–17 April 2016

This year marks the first decade of the TAGCOM toys & Hobbies Convention organized by Hobby at Worx (formerly Hobbiworx) at the Megatrade Hall 2 of SM Megamall today. Alongside this event is a bazaar and a shoe sale (which have been the big thing there), but nevertheless the place has been calm throughout the day. Second Gunpla I now have a new Gunpla too, and it’s an RX-78 with decals and stuff. It took me a while to do it as I need to make sire that I’m fitting the right pieces. In addition, I learned the use of their plastic cutter tool as well. ...
