• Note from Yogyakarta

    I’m writing this on my iPod, since I decided to go for a week without my netbook. I figured if I can post updates with my two wi-fi enabled mobile devices, I might as well do away with the extra weight of my Acer.

  • Note from the Lion city

    Yes, I’m back in Singapore. You’d think after all these years I’d get tired of this city, but no. Everytime I come here there’s always something new to discover.

    I’ve never stayed overnight in Tagaytay. Its close proximity to Metro Manila makes it easy to just drive up, spend the day, and drive back as the sun goes down.
