    What An Adventure: Puerto Princessa 2013

    So I’m still reeling over last weekend’s trip to Palawan. Despite the not-so sunny weather, the trip went on as scheduled and it was one of the best places I went to, like ever. I wasn’t able to bring my trusty camera but I did use my iPad, that explains why I couldn’t take pictures… Continue reading

    Morning Musings

    It’s amazing how some people who have been living life like a hermit for the past several years are still able to find an amazing set of people to hang out with. Especially perennially grumpy ones with zero social skills like myself. Could it be? I have a new set of… barkada? Take it from… Continue reading

    Okay, so summer is clearly over and I never made it a secret that I hate summer time so much because warmer weather meant sweating and breaking out in hives so yeah.

    K, so I mentioned I felt so bad about having such a crummy week that I might drive myself to the nearby Uniqlo for a shopping spree? Well, I did nothing of the sort.

    Musings In The Tunnel

    I’ve been having a really crummy week, to be honest.

So instead, I’ll just go count my blessings: I love my job I love… Continue reading
