Cappuccino| Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Maybe it’s too late to review Cappuccino now because since January 15, after the terror attack that killed 30 people (including one of the owners and their kid) in Hotel Splendid and in the nearby coffee shop Cappuccino, it is “temporarily” closed down. In quotations because I’m not really sure if they will open again. Since the attack, I kept on returning but no trace … Continue reading Cappuccino| Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
MaRamen Salamat Po| Ishikawa, Japan
I can eat Ramen every day. That’s what I discovered when I went to Japan for a month. I love noodles specifically Pancit Canton. I survived college with the help of Pancit Canton. It came to a point that I perfected my pancit canton cooking style. Also good with soft-boiled egg, cabbage, with pandesal, etc. I want my noodles just saucy. I don’t want them … Continue reading MaRamen Salamat Po| Ishikawa, Japan

Graffiti | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I have always been a fan of graffitis on the streets. Isn’t it fascinating for such an artwork very delicate and most of the time made of just spray paints. Those artworks. From a can. Wow. I remember watching a documentary about this artist who paints in random places. His name is Bansky and his identity is still mysterious until now. What’s good about his artworks … Continue reading Graffiti | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Temple Coffee | Siem Reap, Cambodia
My airbnb host in Siem Reap suggested that I should visit Temple Coffee n Bakery to just relax and chill. Well, I’m the tourist and who am I to decline?

For example this vespa … Continue reading Temple Coffee | Siem Reap, Cambodia

The company is based in UK and they deliver worldwide. I have no address here in Burkina Faso so I still use my Philippine address. Currently, i have boxes of unopened parcels of books in our house in Laguna. … Continue reading Books are Forever
Pizza Saturdays
I love Saturdays because it’s the last day of work week. Also on Saturdays, they serve Pizza for dinner. Yipee! It’s like the mine site telling us that we did a good job. So the pizza is like our symbol. It’s like our thumbs up emoji. Normally, I don’t like thin crust pizzas but the pizza in our mine site is really special. It’s thin crust … Continue reading Pizza Saturdays
I Cut Myself Sometimes
Well not intentionally. I was in zombie mode a while ago at work and didn’t notice that I wasn’t wearing my gloves while cutting the hose. I don’t have suicidal tendencies. I was just careless. You know what, it felt great. It’s painful but I felt a relief. I just need another indication that I’m still alive. I am in a dark place right now. … Continue reading I Cut Myself Sometimes
On Last Lectures and Reflections
I just finished a book entitled The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch last night. The book is very well written. It’s like a series of blog posts. He was diagnosed with a terminal pancreatic cancer and months before dying, he gave this last lecture (Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams) in Carnegie Mellon where he also served as a professor in Computer Science for several years. … Continue reading On Last Lectures and Reflections
It’s Time for Africa
My addiction to traveling is getting severe now. It started during my first trip abroad. I was 22 back then. I went to Japan for a month of training. I never really dreamt of traveling the world to be honest. I was realistic for a young age. I always knew that when I grow up, I would be employed in a company with a salary … Continue reading It’s Time for Africa
