Second blog post in a year. Wow. I’m not even sure what’s happening right now lol. But yeah here I am sharing something that nobody asked for. For this Testsie Roll, I will be sharing my shots using Lomography CN800. CN means color negative for those who are not familiar with the terminology. It’s not my first time using this film stock. Actually, Lomo CN800 … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Lomography CN800 | Nikon F3 | Japan
Hi! It’s me. Just writing this post to let you know that I’m still alive. I’ve been really busy most of the year. I know, the pandemic could’ve brought countless blog posts but can you blame me if it’s easier to watch Netflix than to write about my thoughts? So yeah, I will be continuing my Testsie Roll Series where I get to share my … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Expired Centuria 400
One of the perks of my job is being able to travel to different places. Pictured below is Mount Muhabura as seen from a village in Kisoro District, Uganda. It lies along the border of Uganda and Rwanda. According to my Ugandan colleague, the name Muhabura means “The Guide” in the local language. It can be seen from different parts of the country because of … Continue reading Mount Muhabura | Uganda
As the only OFW of our highschool barkada, I don’t get to go to 90% of the gala. May it be a hike, beach trip or just a coffee shop hangout. There was a point in my life that I feel alienated from my friends. I left every group chat. I felt alone. I was alone. Then this July Saigon trip happened. This trip is … Continue reading Saigon Travel Experience
I’ve been planning this Christmas/New Year trip since I arrived in Uganda six months ago. With my current work permit, I can just go to Kenya or Rwanda whenever I please because it will be visa free and I only need an Interstate pass. By October, I already booked my accommodation and plotted my itinerary. Come December, I encountered a couple of hiccups mostly brought … Continue reading Rwanda: The Land of a Thousand Hills
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
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
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

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
