I’m in Blog Na Pinoy!

Spent my Saturday morning getting prettified by Bambi for my Blog Na Pinoy portraits. Blog Na Pinoy is this new blogger directory organized by Juned with the help of renowned photographer Michael Sy Yu. But unlike the average blog directory, which is a simple list of blog URLs, every blogger listed in Blog Na Pinoy

Lessons Learned After 13 Years of Personal Blogging

Today, my mom reminded me that it’s been thirteen years since I started my blog on Angelfire. I was ten then and I am twenty-three now, and while blog may have changed URLs and platforms over the years, I never really stopped putting my life on the Internet for all sorts of normal and creepy

I Vote for Mike Villar

The Bloggers’ Choice Award of the Philippine Blog Awards is the only award given to a blog chosen by a bloggers’ votes. Apparently, the only way for your vote to count is for you to blog about it. Gah, I hate making things like these public knowledge but since there’s no way to go around

Online Stalking

Because I needed something to fill the gap of your absence, I typed your name on the Google search bar and waited for the search results to appear in five…four…three…two…one. Dangerous territory. I half-hoped half-feared that a Google search of your name would yield a blog your goldfish memory might have forgotten about. A blog

Birfday Presents

Technically I’m not 22 yet since I was born at around 6 pm, but that didn’t stop the birfday luff from piling up. I spent the last hours of my 21st year pigging out at Mr. Kabab with Anne, Bim, Fritz, and Ade, then everyone except Ade stayed with me til past midnight. Spent the

Reflections on Blogging and Other Irrelevant Things

The other day, a good friend sent me a text message saying that she saw me in the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. What shocked me about this text message was not so much that I’m apparently in Cosmopolitan, but that this friend actually reads Cosmo in the first place. You see, she’s a member

The Totally Useless Guide to WarBook

If you don’t know what WarBook is, you probably have a job that’s cooler than mine. WarBook is what the members of the desk-chained working class are busy with for the nine out of ten hours they spend at the office. It’s a text-based RPG application for Facebook where you build your own kingdom, train

Lauren Meets Loren at this year’s first PICS meeting

I have this semi-bad habit of saying yes to every social invitation thrown my way. How’d you like to host an inuman this Friday for people you haven’t seen nor spoken to in five years, some of which made fun of the way you spoke to them in English? Sure! A weekend in Baguio with

A band of bloggers

Jayvee and I were tossing random ideas at each other a few days ago when it occurred to us to make a band of bloggers. Like, literally a music band of bloggers. We both play guitar, he hasn’t been in a band in a while, people in my band barely have time to rehearse, and
