For the Museum is Free and Full of Art-ness (Part 1)

Enter at your own cost.




Just kidding. Everything is completely safe and fun (also, free).


National Museum announced that they'll be waiving off the entrance fee to the National Museum for the month of May because it's Museum Month. It's a good timing since I just recently finished my internship duties and rotations. And yes, I'm finally free to go frolicking around the crazy streets of Manila and be able to share it.

Finally... I just Azor Ahai-d my blog.


The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson (Ukulele Cover)



After four months of not updating my Soundcloud, I finally got to record and upload a new one. Nothing too grand, actually. My voice is like that of a singing child. Haha.

*drum roll* My First Ever Cover


I've been mulling over if I'll be posting this after getting several feedback from friends as I've been hesitant about this recording because of the bad recording. Hopefully, the next ones would be better. Anyway, here you go and by the way, it's been a while since the last time I posted about anything.

Manila Noir. Manila Now (Part 2)

As I've promised two or more weeks back, I'm gonna post more photos I took when I went to Intramuros and get to see what #VivaManila is and get to see a glimpse of the old Manila from its remnants. Too bad, I am limited in this blog post by just showing you only photos. It would've been better if I had shared information about the buildings and whatnot like what Carlos Celdran would always do in Pasyal Manila. If you're interested in learning and hearing more about The Walled City, Carlos Celdran is definitely the man to go to. *wink wink*

The photos you're about to see on this part is what I think is the heart or the center of Intramuros as The Casa Manila Museum is located in here where you can explore inside. The quadrangle of the casa is usually where small cultural presentations are held (I'll try to post  presentation most probably on the 3rd or 4th part). 


Manila Noir. Manila Now (Part 1)




I've always wanted to go around Manila and take photos of everything I see. I've been inspired by blogs with photos of Manila from the 60's up until the 90's. There is that special thing about Manila's ambiance. It's a mix of several cultures most noted by Spanish and American culture. As a geek, I've always been fascinated with time travel and since there had not been any scientific breakthrough that could make it possible, the closest thing to it would have to be taking a look at photos taken by people who had lived in that era or timeline. I'm really thankful that a lot of people had preserved such wonderful photographs of the good old Manila. I myself would want to have a set of photos that I could save and share with other people.

Lang Leav visits Manila

(Feb. 8, 2014)

     A friend of mine invited me to go see Lang Leav in Manila with her and her boyfriend. (LOL. Sorry if I had to go third wheel but I did ask permission if I could intervene and she surprisingly agreed). Unfortunately, I had no budget to get a copy for myself. Ack. Why do school thingamajigs have to be expensive? A signed copy by Lang Leav would've been lovely on my bookshelf.


BGC Miscellany

(Jan. 14, 2014)

We were gonna have our fieldwork for Physag II at that time and it so happened that I got there early (around 2 hours earlier than the agreed call time). I've always had this preference of walking and getting lost (only if I have the time to do so) and take photos of everything I see and pass by. I used Photo Editor and VSCOcam apps to edit these photos as I am totes clueless on editing via Photoshop and besides, I'm not even using a professional camera to begin with so I find using these phone apps apropos.
