Swimming with fishes at Camayan Beach Resort (Subic, Philippines)
The unknown scares me. It was what triggered an injury on my toe back when I tried to snorkel in Samal Island. I was wearing a life vest but still felt nervous in the water… not only because I didn’t know how to swim back then, and I did not know what aquatic creatures I […]
NBI Clearance online registration 2017 (Robinson’s Place Ermita and other branches)
Not that I remember exactly what the NBI Clearance renewal/application was like when I last tried to get one (4 years ago) but I can say that the current process is not so bad because Step 1 (filling out the application form) and Step 2 (payment) can already be done online.

Eat Bulaga’s Wally Bayola implies women are to blame for street harassment
Victim blaming. How are we able stand it? Blaming the victim to find an excuse for the act an offender has done… It’s stupid and needs to stop. Warning: Crude words may be present in this page. I don’t know if it’s part of Eat Bulaga’s script or it’s actually his opinion but Wally Bayola, […]
To avoid lines at LRT-1 Northbound: buy up to 5 coupons per transaction
I usually post in English, but this will be a mix of English and Tagalog. I’m writing this to let people know of a way to somehow shorten the lines for ticket booths at LRT-1 Northbound. It seems that not every passenger knows about the “Modified Coupon System”. Pa’no ba naman, hindi kapansin-pansin yung posters […]
Subic Park Hotel review, taxi rates, and places to visit in Subic
