One time game show contestant, oft-time urban roamer. I have nothing much to say, I'm the quiet one...which is probably why I take photos too much.

For decades, the pedestrian crossing between Shang For decades, the pedestrian crossing between Shangrila Plaza and SM Megamall was such a pain point due to its poor placement such that sidewalk in the SM Megamall portion was practically nonexistent due to an obstructing boundary wall, forcing pedestrians to walk by the side of EDSA itself.

10 years ago and some days ago, we were invited to 10 years ago and some days ago, we were invited to guest on the radio program hosted by Grace Bondad-Nicolas to talk about documenting Philippine heritage. This was done actually a few days before the registration of our nonprofit organization Grupo Kalinangan, which aims to document and promote Philippine cultural heritage.

    reminiscing Cubao: the Fiesta Carnival

    December 11, 2010

    More than the stores and the movie theaters, if you ask anyone who experienced old Cubao as to what was their best experience of the place, the most popular answer would probably be their visit/s to that beloved placed called Fiesta Carnival. Long before Star City and (in some way) Enchanted Kingdom, one of the ultimate, if not THE ultimate, amusement park in the metropolis was the Fiesta Carnival.
