Batanes Vlogs (Redux)

Remember almost three years ago I wrote about my misadventures in Batanes? Well, the end of that post had a YouTube playlist of “vlogs” of said misadventures. I had no clue about video editing at that time, which is more than evident in both the aesthetics and actual #content of the videos themselves.

Fret not, for in the years that followed, my video editing skills have been upgraded to “intermediary” — meaning while I am not ready to edit the next Oscar-winning movie, I am more than competent to make YouTube-worthy videos.

Ya Boi’s a Podcast Co-Host Now?

My Disdain for Small Town Community Reactions to the Coronapocalypse

One of things that really grind my gears when it comes to growing up in a small town is that people have a tendency to react to information with reckless abandon instead of logically assessing the situation first. This has happened a lot in my community ever since I was a little boy, and this Coronapocalypse is no exception.

Another GarinFarm Pilgrimage Resort Appreciation Post, But With Video.

The difference between this GarinFarm post from the last one I made is that a uploaded a video on YouTube of my most recent visit and embedded it here!

I believe bloodshed was inevitable as the Spanish wasn’t going to easily give up a colony rich in resources if the nativesContinueContinue reading

Tagaytay Vlog

Patrick Kennan in Tagaytay

Tagaytay is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines, regardless of the time of the year one chooses to visit the city. There are literally hundreds of blogs, vlogs, and articles that discuss Tagaytay in great detail, so I’m going to skip that part and just talk about my personal experiences there.

Batanes Misadventures

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.

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.
