Friday Night Movie Series

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I guess this is my way of taking full note of a new routine. I know it’s not uncommon for anyone to go to the movies on a Friday night, it’s just that this time around it weighs more due to certain circumstances that surround it.
Welcome to one of the new series here at The [...]

The 1TB Stretch

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Don’t you ever wish you can stretch yourself further than what you’re capable of? I have. Several times and more. I even sometimes wish that there’s two of me. Though, I know that is already reaching. Stretch, yes. Cloning, no. Hehe.
I’ve been using a Canon Rebel XTi 400D since February 2007 and an HP Pavilion [...]

House-sitting and the Twilight Saga

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

There are times when I’m the one packed, headed off to some distant land but there are also times when I need to stay put. And stay put, I did. I’m currently house-sitting a house that’s as old as I am.
As much as I don’t mind being alone, since I can think of many [...]

The Beach Monger: La Luz on the Laiya Coast

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Normally, I would dish out thoughts in words but somehow I feel that it’s better to show you the reasons why I fell in love with the place through photographs.
The Fix

Located along the coastline in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas (Philippines), La Luz has been in my must-see beaches list since I learned of its existence [...]

The Handorf Humour

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Just a bit of a precaution though. This post is not suitable for minors. Plus throw in the dimwitted. No need for the likes of you ’round this parts. No sense really. Confused? Then move along. Heh.

Yes, take a seat and rest a bit. It’s time for a bit of a break. No one said [...]

Oz Welcome and Celebrating 31 Years

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

The Oz Welcome
Pushing a trolley laden with a set of luggage amounting to 60kgs (or somewhere close) became less taxing when I saw a beautiful family holding up a home-made placard saying “Welcome Lola & Tita!” walking through the airport doors. Now, that’s what I call a warm and love-filled welcome! I’ve always wanted to [...]

MNL - SGP - ADL

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Seems like I can’t sit still, yes? Memories of the trips to Vietnam and Cambodia early this year is still fresh yet here I am, leaving the country yet again. The Parodist is off to spend some time in Australia. It’s been two (2) years since my last visit. I wonder what sort of changes [...]

Spending a Night with Jose

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Quick trip to a nearby supermarket to assemble the goodies, adamant that the night be spent with Jose.
A couple of bags of Tostitos and a jar of salsa. Check and check.
Lemons. Check.
Ah, yes. Dear old Jose. Jose Cuervo Gold. CHECK!
The mother of all despedidas! Good thing we did it on a Saturday night.

Conquered? Yes. [...]

Celebrating Wellness

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Having been consumed by work and getting lost in the urban jungle of everyday life, taking time out to focus on your health and general well-being are such rare occurences for some people nowadays. Oftentimes, one can’t help but wonder if individuals even stop and ask themselves, “am I healthy?”
Driving down south, towards the direction [...]

U.S.T. Revisited

Friday, November 7th, 2008

An errand had brought my feet to walk the grounds of my Alma Mater, The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, once again.
U.S.T. is the Catholic University of the Philippines founded back in 1611. Held the title for being the oldest University in Asia for a while. And for us, Thomasians, we fondly [...]
