I’m used to working non-stop. In my last site, I work from 5:30 to 16:30. That’s Monday through Saturday. My work load in that minesite in Burkina Faso was not a joke. I get just enough energy to eat dinner and that’s about it. Haggardo Versoza days in Burkina Faso Fast forward to my site here in Uganda. I barely do anything. For this month, … Continue reading Lifestyle Change
I’m starting a new blog series entitled Culture Shookt. Basically it’s a collection of things from Uganda that got me shookt. For my first entry, I’ll talk about cannibalism and witchcraft in Uganda. Okay, let’s make things clear. These are just accounts from the people I know here in Africa and in no way verified. Don’t expect Jessica Soho investigations. These are just hearsays. Or … Continue reading CULTURE SHOOKT: Cannibalism and Witchcraft in Uganda
Well not really because I believe what I have doesn’t need any fixing. Also, why fix if it’s not broken in the first place. Okay. I’m lost with that train of thought. Five months ago, I got the chance to attend a Coldplay concert in Taiwan. Why did I end up in Taiwan you may ask? Welcome to this roller coaster ride to Taiwan. Actually … Continue reading Coldplay Fixed Me
A month ago, my life has literally no direction. I have plans until the Coldplay Concert but after that, I’m just a plastic bag drifting through the wind if we can borrow the words of Katy Perry. When our office in Makati called me to do our company brochure for the fourth time, I grabbed the opportunity and just went with the flow. Two weeks … Continue reading How these Kids Changed my Life
There’s a Youtube Channel that I religiously follow and they are called simonandmartina aka eatyourkimchi. I started watching them around 2014 when I was searching for a comprehensive blog about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios Osaka, Japan. I first stumbled upon their blog and then redirected to their youtube channel and from then on my life was changed. I don’t know, … Continue reading On a Constant Quest for Happiness
A few weeks from now, I will be leaving my beloved first country assignment of Burkina Faso. Though it may not be the best country to conduct my training but I learned to love her. That, despite of my poor French communication skills and my not-black-not-white-skin. I’m out of place. I’m maybe the only Filipino in the country as of the moment. Well, I’m not … Continue reading Au Revoir Burkina Faso

In a few weeks, I will be turning a year older. To celebrate my 25th birthday, I decided to make a blog but made a video on my YouTube channel instead. I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions because I know in my heart that I won’t follow them anyway. But this year is different. I made this #GOALS video which is similar to … Continue reading #GOALS | On Turning 25
I haven’t blogged in a while now. I’ve been very busy adulting to earn some dough for my future travels. My original target is to post a couple of posts in a week but I failed. I’m such a disappointment. I can even see my mother in heaven shaking her head now. You see, there’s nothing wrong with adulting. We’ve been preparing for this since … Continue reading Dark Clouds Overhead
This morning (actually, a couple of weeks ago) at the restaurant, I noticed something’s off with my Site Manager. He was just newly assigned in our site a little over a week ago but I can read people like that. He looks sad, and tired. Lack of sleep? Missing his family? I just shrugged it off and continued with my bacon and egg breakfast. But … Continue reading Life Lessons from a Site Manager
