I never volunteer. But when I found out that Team Leni Robredo Japan is looking for volunteers for a Leni-Kiko event in Yokohama, I didn’t hesitate to volunteer. I want to be part of the movement. Just a few days ago before I volunteer, I learned that my friends attended the PasigLaban rally for Leni and Kiko. I want that fire. I need to be … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Ohanami for Leni & Kiko pt. i | Fuji Pro 400H | Nikon F3 | Japan

Maybe one of my favorite shots from my last photowalk in Harajuku for the test roll of my newly bought Contax T2. The dogs and their mom seem like looking directly at the camera. And there they are regally parked in the sidewalk. I feel intimidated just by looking at this photo. I framed the photo with only their family in the frame but when … Continue reading Through the Lens: Dog Mom

Bento boxes are sold in there. Bento boxes are also … Continue reading Bento | 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
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
