Today’s a mix of good and bad news for me, but I can rest assured that my soul is stable. The good news came all throughout the day as I hosted the PMA Summer Expo at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati. Words cannot simply express the afternoon that went as I talked all the way throughout that whole time, and I’m thankful that I can still make good use of myself using the knowledge and skills that I had. I was troubled with how my face looks and how I squeal sometimes. ...

I rarely post photos with me on it, but this one that my mom took is so good I just had to post it here. We were invited by my cousin KC (who is the reason why I got my hands on the internet) to go to Bagac, Bataan. This one’s a four-hour trip from Manila through the North Luzon Expressway so we had to meet up by 1AM. ...

It’s been a busy Saturday once more as I went to three cities today. My objective was supposed to be: To buy the same pair of shoes that I got in Recto, To visit the ToyCon Launchpad at the UP Town Center, To check out the Food Fair at the Megatrade Hall in Mandaluyong, To promote the PMA Summer Expo on DZME 1530kHz AM studios in Ortigas, To check out Arkadymac’s 3rd Anniversary in Makati. So far, I’ve only done three out of five tasks over the span of 13 hours. ...

Just before the month of January ends, I was invited to two activities in one day. Kendo I was able to join a Kendo practice for two hours. My impression of Kendo came from its depiction in Naoki Hanzawa and in various anime series, so it will be the first time that I am going to do a practice session for real. As a beginner, I have realized that my hand and foot movements are out of sync, much like my life nowadays. Koji Igarashi-sensei of the Iga Kendo Club (which holds the session) told me that Kendo needs a big (loud) voice, and I find it a challenge as I have a deep voice. ...

Today, I went to a friend’s place to check out his secret base, which eventually led to a trip to the Mall of Asia complex to meet with other comrades (who are also going to witness ONE OK ROCK’s first concert in the country). Here are some of the photos that I took. The friend I was referring to is BossMac from Back2Gaming. Long story. Manila Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City ...

I was able to get to three places — Pasig, Pateros, and Taguig. Here are some of the photos that I took. Pasig City I always like to take a picture of this part of the Manggahan Floodway. I’ve done this in more ways than one. Pateros It’s quite funny that I was able to pass by Pateros without realizing I left it. It’s quite odd for me. I should’ve gone and tasted their delicacies as well. ...

I was lucky enough to get a snapshot of the BGC’s biggest art installations. Take note that this was taken sideways. I went to the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig to check out the surroundings and take part in a cosplay photoshoot. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to talk about cosplay here, but I have posted some cosplay photos last year; so why not do it again? Prior to entering the BGC, I got to see Buting in Makati City. Most of you know that the BGC is in the border of Makati and Taguig. (Both cities were fighting for its possession in 2013 because of tax revenue — but this issue has settled down) ...

I’m glad that the city government is refurbishing its revolving tower. I hope I can get there soon. Among the places I love to frequent is the Pasig City proper, where I get to check out the City Library (and read books — I recommend reading Taipan, the book that tells stories about Lucio Tan from the people he has worked with). There’s this Precious Pages store in the vicinity of the La Immaculada Concepcion School where I saw some PSICOM how-to books on display. ...

These are the photos that I took at Makati, still part of my journey to that thing called MyPhone My28. I’m going to make sure that I post my full review of the My28 this week.

Here’s what I took today. I went to the Japan Foundation Manila library as well to see their latest anime magazines (they have the latest Animage) and design inspirations (I recommend Japan Graphic Designers Association’s annual “Graphic Design in Japan” series). The last two images you see are taken from the 23rd floor of the Pacific Star building in Makati, where the JFM library is. A bit blurry, and it could be taken better, but that’s what the camera can stand for now.
