The words under his name that says “The Last Interview” sparks curiosity.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Indulge
A photo of me by Dona (maybe), taken October 25, 2011 at Bohol.
This is probably the hardest challenge so far, at least for me. Initially I wanted to post food photos, or a self-portrait munching on some food but I’ve got tons of food photos and photos of me eating I didn’t know which to post. Gaaaahhh, foodie problems indeed! I opted for non-food related indulgence instead.

90s Music for 90s Kids
Last night I was telling my friend how going to events like UP Fair makes me feel different about myself. Para bang automatic na teenager mode agad ako. And when I’ll realize there are younger people around, that’s when it comes to me that I’m already 23 yet still act like a teen. This doesn’t bother me though. Not at all. LOL Nonsense intro.
UP Fair 2012 (Photo: Inah Stangl)
Together with good friends, I went to UP Fair on a Tuesday night- and Valentine night, too- because (1) the event (a benefit concert for the Philippine rivers) was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity Eta Chapter, moi kapatids and (2) they’ve got a really nice line up- a mix of bands from the 90s and today. I thought I wouldn’t let the opportunity pass so I bugged some friends to come along. I succeed tagging along 4 awesome people with me- two of which doesn’t have a date like me. Lelz.
Charice Sings Whitney
Filipina artist Charice Pempengco does a Whitney Houston tribute.
When the news of Whitney’s death broke, I was actually thinking if Charice had already peformed with Whitney since she’s one of the popular Filipino musicians who can actually sing Whitney Houston well, and she’s been onstage with huge musicians like David Foster, Celine Dion, etc.
Well, I have yet to find the answer but this video of her singing Whitney is totally amazing. She definitely killed it.
Advice for the Loveless
Because tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, here are some pieces of advice to all single ladies and men out there. From the book The Best of Chico & Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10. :)

- Some things are not worth rushing, especially something that you hope will last forever.
- You won’t find someone better if you don’t let go of the idea that you already let go of the best.
- If Mr. Right is taking too long, don’t settle for Mr. Absolutely Wrong.
- Don’t be afraid of finding someone who’ll make you cry; find someone who’s worth the tears.
- My friend once said. Kung ayaw sa’yo gn gusto mo, wag kang magagalit. Dahil meron ding may gisto sa’yo na yaw mo. Quits lang kayo.
- Find someone who thinks you’re impossible to be with…but stays anyway.
- Iba ng loveless sa sexless.
- Wag kang malungkot na wala pa siya, isipin mo na lang. malungkot din siya kasi wala ka pa.
- Dalawa lang yan: either choosy ka, or choosy sila!
