UnDecided
It was Carlo’s birthday (January 24, 2009) that brought us (well, not all) together. A rare occasion—especially all of us are working now— to see each other. We had 6 pitchers of Badtrip (a mix with vodka), some of them had buckets of beer and some Pulutan. It destroyed my diet, I gained 3 lbs the next day.
The night was field with kamustahan. Carlo—the birthday boy— is still working for...

One Long Saturday
It was the day I had a photo shoot. We were already in Makati when the sun hit directly straight up in the sky. I was scheduled to take poses in front of photographer Ash Castro for his campaign. Sweets, candies, colors and all. I was a little uncomfortable the way I look. The way others are looking at me. The way my I was styled. I got stiffed in front of the camera. But I’m hopeful there...

Rolitoland is my Happy place
Rolitoland is a line of toy from Hong-Kong based toy manufacturer Toy2R. It was another toys my interests got caught in when I saw some of them over at Hobbes and Landes.
I was upset about toys that night. I was made felt that It was bad to buy toys as expensive as these and that I may be offending other people when buying these kinds of toys. I was made felt that I was selfish and that i have no...

An Afternoon at the Manila Ocean's Park
It was not my first time at The Manila Ocean’s Park. I had checked it out before and had taken some pictures.
This time around, we were with my mom and my nephew Andres.
It was a Saturday, and as expected seeing fishes in the big tank is like seeing fishes in the market. It was so chaotic. There are a lot of families and students taking their field trip. We weren’t able to take...

Haru! from Japan
Eric’s office mate Angie went to Japan for the holidays as well. She brought us pasalubong and of course toys. I had no idea if she knew about the kinds of toys we like or was it a lucky coincident when she got us a Toumart toys.
She said that most of the toys are in blind boxes so she didn’t really know what to get for us. I have been eye-ing for a Toumart toy, a baboo and a toolie....

When I first heard about it, I was sad because I had spend all my money during the holidays. Now, I want toys but have no gold to spend for it.
When I saw the list of items for sale and its sale price. Argh! I just couldn’t helped it. In the list were some of the toys I’ve been dreaming off getting but it costs too much. But...

The Phantom Thief - 8" Qee
My good friend Ken of designsyrup.com went to Hong Kong for the holidays and got me this 8” Qee Bear straight from Toy2r.
Before he left I gave him the address to Toy2r and the toys I wanted. But he called me up when he got there and said the toys I want aren’t available. Some are already sold out and others are not yet for sale. Anyway, I told him to get what ever he thinks is...

How I lost Weight
Loosing weight is not the easiest thing to do. It requires total discipline, absolute commitment and a change of life style. You may raise your eye brows and ask Who the hell are you?, What do you know about it? or What should I care?
I don’t have any Phd on how to loose weight. I am not a gym instructor nor a health adviser. I’m not even health conscious. I am more of a weight...

A New Beggining
Every year end people get hooked into writing down their new year’s resolution. While some of them managed to accomplish their list, others wrote them on the shore and let the tides wash it away.
The year that changed me.
I know right? every year people say it was the year that changed them. In my case? It brought a lot of changes. Yes, it did changed me.
I was no longer the guy who...
