Pre-2010

Ever since this whole quarantine period has started - there should be a counter on the sidebar that tells you how many days it has been - cashless payment systems are gradually being integrated in our “next normal” lives. I’m going to narrate my stories and experiences about cashless payments, and I hope you get a thing or two from what I’ll share to you. Transport I got introduced to cashless transport through beep, the payment system which started from the light rails to e-shuttles and is now integrated with convenience stores like FamilyMart and MiniStop as well as Wendy’s among others. ...

It’s been 10 years since I opened my current YouTube channel. Prior to this, I was learning how YouTube works, and during the time when LimeWire was the thing, I downloaded quite a number of stuff, some of which I test upload to my first YouTube account. The result: Auto-banned. So, I made another one. This is it. Over the past ten years, I’ve uploaded quite a variety of videos: ...

Hi guys! I’ll be sharing photos from my visit at The Dessert Museum last year. I checked the EXIF details and it’s dated one year ago from the time I have posted this, so it’s just right to share these with you, especially that we’re at a critical time of our lives. As with most of my visits, I came in alone (but not lonely). I got a discounted pass here as the Museum is changing one of its rooms to a different theme. ...

This draft was actually written a year ago. This was me reluctantly deciding if I’m going for my first overseas trip or not. A year after this, I ticked off one thing in my bucket list. Allow me to share the draft prior to the release of “The First and Last Journey” this Monday, 7pm Manila time on Facebook and YouTube. I am looking at my Facebook feed, and I see some of my friends go to other places, with their smiling faces; and I can’t help but feel so jealous. ...

I stand corrected — make it 8 versions. I am currently at the 1st Pasig City Trade Fair which is held at Estancia at Capitol Commons, and part of the things I do (aside from overseeing if there will be any activity on stage) is to try out what Pasig has to offer. Just a few hours ago, I conducted a fireside chat with the Pasigueno businessmen, and I had fun talking to them about doing business on social media, as well as promoting businesses. ...

…or what happens to be my one-week nightmare with my bank One day, I was trying to get cash from an at a posh location. The machine was slowly taking the card in. When it’s time to get the cash, the card is getting out slowly — and then it decided that nope, it won’t give me the card and it won’t give me the cash I asked for. ...

Trust me, they have soft, pugon-made pandesal. The Kamuning Bakery Cafe, an institution in Quezon City, serves as a venue for various occasions. This includes the Pandesal Forum and the World Pandesal Day. I dreamt of visiting this historical bakery along Judge Jimenez St. in Quezon City (even just once), so when the opportunity comes, I’ll come and see for myself. That opportunity came last Saturday. Before we start: Prior to my visit here, I went to Eccentric Yet Happy’s law seminar for bloggers (but for some reason I am late and embarrassed by how I was late because the topic was so important and yet here I was). ...

Oh hi there — it’s been so long since I gave my last update. I’ve had my days when I’m salty sad, but since this is my space, we will share great, happy memories here. I’m sharing to you some photos I took with my cellphone camera from way back two to three months ago. At Hotel Jen, just near the CCP Complex. I’ve been tinkering with my phone’s camera (a Lumia 320 Dual sim), which gives options to adjust aperture and exposure, and so far, I’m good with it. I also love taking photos with light trails, and so this happened. Give it 2 seconds or 5, place it in a steady place, and watch it take cool shots. ...

Happy Birthday, XyLoL! Two weeks ago, my good friend John Michael James (@xylolol) celebrated his birthday with Team Anizone in two places — Gokinjo in Marikina, and Karaoke Pop in Quezon City. As for me, I did a vlog documenting the wild ride. Read his review of Gokinjo here.
