Distant Dialogues
I am so honored to be invited by my online friend Mars of Marsymallows to be a guest on one of her Podcast Episodes where we spoke about one of my favorite things to do, free diving. This was my first ever podcast guesting (haha sikat lungs?), and to be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. […]

Life Lately
I haven’t been ‘that’ active here lately because I was home, finally. I wasn’t very productive at anything, but hey, I was on holiday. I just binged watch series and ate and slept all I wanted. I was able to go to the mall three times before Manila declared ECQ again. However, in my hometown, […]

Conversation with Lily
I was mad one afternoon because of a matter I couldn’t even recall now. I chatted with my hubby, and he suggested I go out and eat ice cream to cool down. I spoke with a friend, and she couldn’t do anything else but empathize. I wanted to vent out to someone, to someone who […]

No Wifi (No) Cry
I retreated to my room one evening after my dinner and noticed that my messages weren’t going through. I thought that the Wifi was just slow, but there wasn’t any Wifi at all, as it turned out. In such situations, I would just go somewhere to get the signal of guest Wifi (because they could […]
