Batanes is a gorgeous mix of cliffs, beaches, mountains, forests and grasslands. If Pokémon were real, Batanes would be swarming with them. I got to visit and experience everything the mini-archipelago had to offer, and this post tells of the events that happened.
Plus! The vlog videos I promised before are found at the end of the the post, which is rather lengthy.

Patrick Kennan in… Venice?!
Now that I got your attention with some classic sOciAL mEDiA iNfLuEnCeR click-bait title, I didn’t really go to Venice, as in THE Venice in Italy. Rather, this post is about Venice Mall in Taguig City. I admit it is very unbecoming to post about a mall… I mean, it’s a mall, who cares? I’m inclined to agree with this 99% of the time, but Venice Mall is just different. For one, it has a freaking canal inside the mall itself complete with Italian gondolas.
Happy birthday to myself!
Happy birthday to this blog’s favorite person — myself!!!!
These Laker Kids Are Figuring It Out
The LA Lakers have been one of the best teams in the league since the start of 2018, going 20-12 the past three months. After a slow start in October, the Purple and Gold have steadily improved game in and game out. Their offensive rating has risen considerably without defense, which was already solid to begin with, being compromised. At the heart of this improvement is the beast that goes by the name of Julius Randle. The future is bright for a team that fell on hard times after being so used to winning throughout the decades.
Dancing Waiters of Yupihay
Today marks the 10th year anniversary of my class’ culminating activity for our Home Technology class — a formal dinner! Our section hosted the event for ourselves and the UP High School in Iloilo faculty. Some of the boys, namely myself, Dale, Alvin, Martin, Ace, Fama, and Niño acted as waiters (as part of the requirement to pass the class) and even did a little dance presentation to the tune of “Cherry Lips” by Garbage. The success of the event was the first step in our month-long journey to accomplish all requirements needed for us to graduate.
Remembering My First Panic Attack
Experiencing a panic attack first-hand gave me empathy to those who are plagued by mental disorders of various kinds.
Previously, I was aware that these things happen to a lot of people but couldn’t fully comprehend what made them so crippling. It was an eye opening experience for me, definitely.
I wanted to be honest and share this experience with everyone to spread awareness on mental health.
The Lakers’ Young Core Post-All Star Break
The Lakers, a team with a 60 year history of winning basketball, has fallen on hard times of late, missing the playoffs for four (will most likely be five counting this year; more on that in a second) consecutive years — the most in team history.
However, this year’s squad has changed that outlook and has brought back something that was long gone in the purple and gold hearts of fans — hope.
Getting Physical Again
Today, I managed to join in my first long-distance bike ride since 2014. Four years is a long time and I forgot how great biking early in the morning felt.
Kainan With Kinan #4 – Sinigang a la Liza Soberano
I learned how to make sinigang because Liza Soberano said (in a controversial tweet that shouldn’t have made much controversy if she weren’t famous) it’s her favorite food and of course #LizKen forever.
Summer (Capital), Man
Summer came early for me, as I got to visit the Summer Capital of Iloilo! I’m no longer a part of the 1% of Ilonggos who’ve never been there. Read on, my dudes.
