Long time no post! Prior to the release of Podcast #98 this Friday (I’m sure I’m going to post the show notes here late), I’ve done my online shopping as well, getting my groceries and some non-food items in one sitting. In fact, due to the virus scare (running for 2 years now), I rarely go out. When I go out of the building, I just make sure I don’t go beyond the 3-kilometer radius. That said, I do my grocery shopping online. ...

Over 150 million people use Discord, based on a Quartz report from July (unfortunately, the report’s paywalled). Imagine tapping into that 150 million people, stealing their data and using it for malicious purposes. Just today, VTuber Kitsui Akira had her Discord account stolen without her noticing. Taking into account that she doesn’t click on anything malicious and all, her account’s still stolen. PSA I have been logged out of my Discord & I can't log back in;; And even if I reset password, it says the email doesn't exist. Apparently my account is online right now. Please ignore it if it sends you any messages;; I'm really scared rn, that acc is really important to me.. ...

I’m having a great time watching Virtual YouTubers do their way in entertaining us especially in the time where we’re expected to always stay home. VTubers have been my refuge - it’s like watching a raw episode of an anime live. I’ve been watching more VTubers than anime episodes nowadays. ...

Amid the crisis we are into, there are series that have started airing this Spring season in Japan - as they are ready to keep us distracted, I’m much ready to share my picks. Being the seiyuu-inclined, my thoughts will be mostly about the voices behind the characters. Lastly, you can watch these series legally through the official videos/links included in this post, which can either go to Muse Asia of Singapore- and Taiwan-based Muse Communications, or Ani-One of Hong Kong’s MediaLink. ...

As you probably know by this time, Luzon is under an Enhanced Community Quarantine Period due to COVID-19. That means we have to stay home so that we either not get the virus or spread it around. This also means that we have lots of time to either relax or be productive. But sometimes, we have to stock up on supplies. That’s where Home Quarantine Passes are given. Now for the next set of questions: Where do we stock up on our food (or medicine) this season? How do we send or receive cash? ...

What can fan artists do when their art is bootlegged? What can merchants do if they get called out for selling what is actually bootleg stuff? A few days ago, I was directed to an experiment on Twitter by Roku where she posts a photo of a design she wants to be printed on a shirt: i need this on a shirt 😭😭 beautiful art! amazing! wow! i want merch of this! pic.twitter.com/oCMTC7Io3p ...

Mandaue is among the 7 cities that form up Metro Cebu, and compared to my previous visits at the South Road Properties (SM Seaside City), near the Port Area (SM Cebu), Cebu City (Fuente Circle) and even as far as Sirao Gardens, I can safely say that I had a fleeting time here. On this post, I will be talking about my journey to Mandaue, as well as the budget I had set for my weekend stay here as I went there for ARCHcon Cebu 2019. So here’s how it went: ...
