The hype of Pokémon GO is very real. I don’t know in Facebook but in Instagram, it’s as if everyone is training to be the best Pokémon Master ever. Pokémon is a game very close to my heart. I started playing Pokémon with my good ol’ Nintendo Gameboy in the 2nd grade and played through high school. Actually, this is one of the few video … Continue reading Pokémon GO et Dakar, Senegal Tour

So I just made a YouTube account. I’m planning of uploading like vlogs, travel videos, challenges etc. One of my dreams is to travel. And with that dream, to share my experience and (mis)adventures to the world. I don’t have a Facebook account as of the moment and my only option is Youtube. Well, there’s Vimeo but who watches Vimeo these days? As of writing, … Continue reading Youtubing
Another very late review. Hotel Splendid is the official residence of the mining company where I am working at until the Al Qaeda attack last January 15, 2016. The main target is this 4-star hotel at the center of Ouagadougou. Maybe because this is where diplomats, businessmen and other important people stay when in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. 30 people are dead with 18 different Nationalities. … Continue reading Shining Shimmering Splendid (Hotel) | Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
According to my former boss, the Princess of Morocco once visited Burkina Faso and stayed in this hotel. And that’s the origin of the hotel’s name. Well, I’m not sure really with the origin of the name but some princess stayed in this hotel. And my boss stayed in her room. I don’t know how he discovered about it. Maybe there’s a shrine in the … Continue reading Princess Yenenga Lodge | Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
I’ve been craving for chips for over three months now. I don’t usually eat chips when I’m on site because it’s rarely available. During my home leave in the Philippines, I didn’t get the chance to eat crisps too because I traveled a lot. So this afternoon, I went to the restaurant to inform the caretaker of the house that I don’t have electricity. This … Continue reading Money Well Spent
So I’m stuck for another more year here in Burkina Faso. A West-African French-speaking country. I’ve been here for over a year now. Because of that, everyone expects me to speak fluent French now. I also thought I can do a year and emerge victorious and with a new learned language in my pocket. But what went wrong? You see, I hated my country assignment. … Continue reading My love-hate relationship with French (not the fries)
As you can see the trend of my posts, I really love eating and ihaw-ihaws. This time, we ate at the Charaptor in MoA seaside. I’ve been hearing good things about this restaurant so we decided to try it out. This restaurant has more Filipino touch. From the meats and the fish. They also have sushi btw and a variety of drinks. What’s bonkers is … Continue reading Charaptor | SM MoA, Philippines
One of my dreams as a traveler (kuno) is to experience First Class Airline Seat in a long flight preferably on one of those airline Giants like Qatar Airways or Emirates Airlines I can still remember my first plane ride. The flight is from Manila to Semirara Island, Antique for my local OJT. It’s my first time to leave Luzon. My batchmates are teasing me … Continue reading First Class | #travelgoals
I drink a lot but I don’t consider myself an alcoholic. I can say that my stay in college was wild in terms of drinking. I can’t remember really how I got hooked in drinking. But one thing that I’m really sure is that it was fun. When I was still young, I can remember during celebrations (birthdays, reunions, etc) my father together with my … Continue reading Pill Pilsen | Story Time
