Why Bike? A Rationale on Cycling

Rationale for Buying a Mountain Bike

It’s been more than a year now since I bought my first mountain bike, all thanks to the initial influences of my brother and some friends, and it’s been fun all throughout!

When They Cry: Outbreak / A Retrospect in Watching Anime

When They Cry: Outbreak is finally out! Now for a little emotional retrospect: I haven’t really told anyone this, but the franchise of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When The Cicadas Cry), including its company 07th Expansion, really mean a lot to me.

Upgrade to Room v3.0 Complete!

The third renovation for my office-slash-bedroom has finally come to a conclusion! A lot thinking, sweat, cash and time has been sacrificed in this once-in-a-blue-moon endeavor, I must say.

Almost Mugged: Modus Operandi at Ligaya / Marcos Hiway

Earlier today, while on my way to Eastwood City (C5 Libis), I found myself being targeted by snatchers. This could practically happen to anyone anywhere, so it’ll be better if I share the exact details: around 2:30 PM I rode a jeepney at Ligaya, Marcos Hi-way enroute to Pasig Palengke, then I was supposed to […]

The iPad 3rd Gen Unboxing, Purchase Rationale and Top Apps

Seventh Messiah bandmate and long time friend James mentioned about HSBC offering Apple products with 0% interest, payable for 2 years, and that his brother got the New iPad (3rd Gen) with it. After looking at the 16GB version’s price, which is roughly around 24k PHP, I did the no-brainer math – 1k per month. […]

Airsoft Skirmish at The Office

Some few days ago, my fellow photography enthusiast Josh invited me to an Airsoft skirmish within a private compound in Tomas Morato. To get to ‘The Office‘, you have to give a passcode first at the entrance before the guard lets you in since they only patronize the members and their referrals. It was my […]
