Yes, me and Hana were bursting with energy. Milk tea for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you have two girls ready to take on the daunting challenge of roaming Taipei in just three days.
There are milk tea shops in ever corner in Taipei. In this post, we try to rate the various milk tea we tasted.

8 Things: Taipei, Taiwan
1. Stripes as a wardrobe staple
2. In every street, there was at least one store selling socks.
3. Fake eyelashes and mascaras are the craze.
4. Murals and sculptures are everywhere.
This is a park. The crab is a bench.
Guess the reference,
Even the manhole cover has art.
5. Taipei is so interconnected through their...

7 things: Maldives
1. Hair flipping, head banging, skirt flapping, posing, and jumping
2. the best shrimps, heavy breakfasts, food discoveries, and dental hygiene
Admittedly, I never knew how a passion fruit looked like before this trip.

What I am Saving Up For
Pwede Ring Pang- Christmas Gift Kay Zaxx Edition
I say that in jest haha.
A list I made for myself so I can visualize and therefore make it easier for me to save. I’d rather have ratty and not so fashion forward clothing and accessories, even take jeepneys and ride the train for these.

Bukidnon
27 August 2011
On a trip to Cagayan de Oro, we briefly passed by Bukidnon for an adventure.
Nadine, Kat and Krisha: all smiles as the day begins.
Again, thank you to the Maclang family (hi tito Mac! hi tita Suzette!) for the hospitality.
And this photo is for Quico, who idolizes Gen. Maclang haha!

Singapore
17- 19 September 2011
When Lykke Li announces her concert at Esplanade, what is a fan to do? Find a cheap plane fare to Singapore, then book a ticket to the concert. After which, you inform your parents of your spending and promise to pay them back. (he he)
And no, her bed isn’t nothing to no one because me and Karen are grateful for letting us bunk.
We got lost...

Let Me Tell You How Productive I was This Weekend
I watched movies and a few episodes of various TV shows for two days. I’d eat and stand up to use the bathroom. Then I’d lie in bed again to watch. Sometimes, I’d sit up. Then lie down again to sleep.
And I wasn’t even sick. I just felt like staying home.
This is a screen cap from Detective Dee and the Phantom Planet which had too many subplots, it ended to be...

My Hips, They Lie Because in Reality I'm Shy, Shy,...
Hello! Back from a short trip from Singapore. My flight back home was delayed for 2 hours, and still on a high from the magnificence that was the Lykke Li concert, I watched clips of the event on Youtube.
A quick search on Youtube will show you links to the videos taken by concert goers. And if you try to play Where’s Waldo a.k.a. Zaan zi Zaxx, you will see me in a lot of the videos...

What I wish People Told Me When I was Starting...
I entered University at quite a young age, which made people around me worry. This worry somehow entitled them to give out unsolicited advice, a lot of which I did get to use. But there are lessons that I wished they said, or at least warned me about.
1. Use protection. Your sex life is your sex life, engage in whatever sexual act you deem appropriate. But be safe an avoid being parents way...

Meet Smoking Pussy. We call her Smoke. Adorable, fat and lazy. I use to love her.
Then she dug her nails into my skin yesterday. It bled. Today, it is still bleeding and has eekie puss.
Ok, ok. I have to be honest. I wasn’t wearing my glasses. I didn’t see him lying on the floor. I stepped on his stomach. And then his instincts kicked in.

Visual Impact: Sarabia’s Optical Shop
This is Dra. Sarabia’s optical shop, not your usual white walled space.
Hispanic accents here and there. Because she’s part Mexican, she added part of her heritage into her workplace.
She didn’t want to hire a painter, so she bought paint and dabbed the brush herself to create this texture.
Paper lamps in her work...

About Today
I never really made resolutions when the new year starts. Somehow, I was always conscious of what I have to do.
But this week has been full of uncertainty, with a whirlwind of emotions parading with the confusion.
No, this isn’t about love or family problems. This might sound shallow, but I am a very grade conscious person. I may not be studious, but I make it a point I...

Shaheinito, the Most Adorable Penguin
Walking and walking, weezing around…lopsided like a penguin
My nephew’s favorite toy is my brother’s motorbike. He can sit there for hours on end, making vroooom sounds and clicking the horn button (to the annoyance of everyone)
To me, he is the most adorable, in a peguin suit or not.

Media Noche 2011
These are just photos, I’m not going to try to review some of the food my brother prepared for the Abrahams during New Year’s Eve. I simply won’t do justice.
The photo above: ensaladang talong salad which I loved because of the mangoes. I really don’t like eggplant and so anything with eggplant I try to avoid.
Brusceta with cheddar cheese,...

Oh my Darling, oh my Darling
Death under the cut.
Salt, frienemy dog # 1, went missing two weeks ago during a particularly stormy night.
I kept (subtly and not so subtly) telling my brother that his dog probably became someone else’s meal.
See, I hated Salt. He peed on my foot, among other things he did.
Three days ago, a bag was left outside our house.
Inside the bag: a dog...
