Story Time: That Time We Walked Up The Infante Flyover
There was a time when Iloilo had no flyovers like the ones we have today. The first one, called the Infante Flyover (named for one of the streets it traverses over) was constructed from 2007 to 2008. I was in my fourth year of high school then. When the structure was finished and opened toContinue reading "Story Time: That Time We Walked Up The Infante Flyover"

Happy St. Patrick’s (Me) Day!
Today is St. Patrick's Day. I don't really care about patron saints for the most part, let alone a patron saint associated with alcoholic beverages (lol, I don't drink, I'm straight edge). But we share the same first name, so I have a special appreciation for St. Paddy. Also, St. Patrick is the title ofContinue reading "Happy St. Patrick’s (Me) Day!"

Music Mondays: The Truth Behind Baby Sharks
"Baby Shark" is one of those songs that need no introduction because you literally hear it everywhere, often against your will. It's annoyingly catchy, a typical characteristic of novelty pop songs intended for tiny human spawn. I'm not hear to discuss some conspiracy about how the song has some subliminal message that tells kids toContinue reading "Music Mondays: The Truth Behind Baby Sharks"
Happy International Women’s Day
Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate all the incredible women of the world.
