FOUND: Five Dime Driftwood House in Taipei
When I was in Taipei earlier this year, I was able to eat at an exceptionally unique restaurant but it didn’t seem like it at first when the tour guide told us about it. It was a good hour from where we currently were and I wondered if the food there was any good. It was … Read more
Found: VVG Table in Taipei
It is no secret that the number one thing on my hit list of places to visit is VVG Something. It is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world and finding it was absolutely the icing on the cake. VVG Table, however, was the cherry! I dragged my friends to look for VVG … Read more

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.

And since the font I used for the phobia names [on the planner] is pretty geometric, it didn’t read that well for some. In my defense, the font looked pretty good on the screen but yeahhh, it didn’t … Read more
Start the Year : Fight the Fear!
Twenty Twelve! Here it is, the year glamorized with thought of apocalyptic phenomena and end as we know it. Question is, do we really believe that we’ll all be eaten by zombies or collide with intergalactic planetary matter and consequently meet our unified demise, or do we go on with our lives? We like to … Read more
Creative Inspiration from Jan von Holleben
I stumbled upon Jan von Holleben‘s works while looking for inspiration for a new illustration I have in my head. I was looking for a silhouette of a kid jumping that I can copy from. I couldn’t really find any good ones so I decided to just draw it organically myself but then just as … Read more
