Personalizing the Road Less Traveled in Cambodia
Going through the road less traveled is something that many people are averse to. Why would you do the unconventional thing when you know that what’s prevalent or popular holds the prize of security, coolness, and acceptance in the end? It doesn’t make you any less human to want acceptance and coolness – the convention … Read more
FOUND: VVG Something in Taipei
Even if there’s very little time left from the set itinerary for my trips, I always make sure that I visit a local bookstore and get myself a copy of a wonderful children’s book/art book to add to my collection. Just a few days ago, a trip to Taipei brought me to one of the … Read more
Slate Reel: Balance (animated short)
Before February ends, here’s a treat to honor our Attack the Addiction month. One of the classics, Balance (this month’s antidote!), won the Oscar for Animated Short Film in 1989.

February : Attack the Addiction

However, in these modern times, we Filipinos already use the term loosely, as in “adik ka talaga”, which means that times may have changed. Merriam Webster said it best when it defined being addicted as to … Read more
Slate Reel: Restless
Restless (2011) is lovely to watch on a weekend or a weeknight after a stressful day, as it serves as an attractive alternative to your usual rom-coms. It’s surprisingly light and has that good-natured vibe that bewilderingly straddles reality and dream state that are inherent of several Van Sant films. Although not one of his best … Read more
Fierce Fears!
Hello! I should have realized beforehand that not everyone can process space relations as well as others. And since the font I used for the phobia names [on the planner] is pretty geometric, it didn’t read that well for some.
