The Virgin Diaries

Sometimes, I love my job.

A simple question from Sony Channel Ph got me to a meet and chat with Gina Rodriguez (girl from Jane The Virgin) at Raffles yesterday. They asked "Why are you committed to being a Virgin (meaning fan of the show)?" and my ironically nasty answer won me an express pass to the top of Jane's fangirls' list and three selfies taken by the very charming Jane herself.



 
 
 
Thank you, Sony! :D

The Batanes Story

Image
I̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶s̶i̶m̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶a̶l̶s̶.̶ ̶ I have simple requisites for rather "fancy" life goals. Case in point: I want to go to Paris to hug (and not even to eat!) a brown bag full of hot, freshly-baked baguettes. Never mind that the Eiffel Tower's standing right behind me, asking for a selfie. I want to go to New York to take the subway in a trenchcoat and Manolos--looking like I'm in a rush just because. Haha. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I got to tick off another simple item from my list, and that is to wear a vakul in Batanes. Yay!  The vakul is a headgear made from abaca that is designed to protect Ivatans (Batanes locals) from the heat and the rain. It goes well with the kanayi (vest) and the backpack, don't you think? The whole ensemble's so "abacard" (hahaha get it? 😛). Too bad the kanayi's  actually for men.  With one clear objective in mind, I felt so accomplished already after having tried the vakul. But-...

Code Elephant, Ping pong and Sticky Rice

Image
So much for codes! Nothing can be more obvious clues to what's coming up than elephants, ping pong and sticky rice. In a pledge to get lost in life and all things (and people) that get me excited more than a bag of Cheetos Jalapeño, I found myself in Bangkok with my best friends on day 7 of being 27. One of the gays was OC enough to make an itinerary, daily themes and visual pegs included:  Copyright 2014. With an itinerary like this, what can possibly not go wrong? Hahaha   Technically Day 2 but Feels Like Day 1 Because Day 1 Started at 2:30am and Ended at around 4am: "Shopaholic B*" For us girls who enjoy dressing up, Bangkok will always be shopping heaven (a very hot and temptations-laden heaven at that). New wardrobe hoarding being the main purpose of our trip, we set off for Chatuchak, Platinum Mall and Siam Paragon the first chance we got.  Kris and I got these hats from Chatuchak that screamed tr è s chic. Or tr è s...

What's it really like, traveling solo?

Image
I found that there are 3 common reactions to "I'm going to travel alone": 1)  ang lakas ng loob mo!  2)  inggit ako  (or similarly, dream  ko rin 'yan ) and 3)  sana mahanap mo na dun si  'the one'.  The first would make you double, triple, quadruple check your already carefully planned out itinerary because why does it seem like everybody's scared for you when you're not even scared for yourself? Fine, you'll get about 20% scared for yourself because you'll realize that you're not really that good with maps but you're the best at getting lost or taking the long route home.  The second would excite you either because you can't wait to one-up everybody else who hasn't done it yet (!) or simply because it used to be a dream for you too.  And the third would make you wonder  "bakit nadamay si  'the one'?" ...and " taiwanese  (or whatever nationality)  talaga si ' the one'?!"  Ewan . ...
