This week’s Music Monday features a song called “Paasa” by Kurei. She is a photographer from Davao City whose artistic work I discovered thanks to an acquaintance.
She apparently expanded to music, and recently released a single. Go check it out.

2019 NBA Playoffs Predictions: Western Conference First Round
The 2019 NBA Playoffs are here! For the sixth straight year, my favorite team for the past 19 years, the Los Angeles Lakers, is not a participant.

These mythical creatures are humanoid in appearance with vampiric traits (i.e. undead, sucks blood, etc.) and are usually prevalent in rural areas (surprise, surprise).

Back in September 2011, my Political Science class had a field trip in Metro Manila to visit the various locations where each branch of the government held their offices in (Malacañang, the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court).

What Infuriates Me About “Influencers”
As a blogger since 2006-2007, I have plenty of opinions regarding today’s breed or bloggers/vloggers/social media influencers. And with ~that post~ by a certain “influencer” going viral the other day, I felt the need to give my two cents. Brace yourself, this is a looooong ass read
Hot Take: Live Action Superhero Movies Don’t Give Me The Same Thrill Comic Books Do
I’ve been a comic book fan for a few years now, and I’ve amassed an okay-ish amount of physical and digital comics during that time. As my social media feeds suggest (as well as actual conversations with me), I would like to believe that I have enough nerd credibility to discuss this hot take ofContinueContinue reading “Hot Take: Live Action Superhero Movies Don’t Give Me The Same Thrill Comic Books Do”
