WHEN I REST MY WINGS - VIDEO

This series of videos document some of the places I visited recently. These videos were taken using an iPod Nano so forgive the quality.


This was during my trip to Boracay in 2009. Sorry about the noise. I was on a speedboat.


This was my first ever attempt at parasailing also in Boracay. The video was taken by the boatman because my hands were shaking. I did not know I could ever do this. Thank God for strong winds! =)


Going to The Peak in Hong Kong with my friend Vic and Jimmy on a very very very cold night in November of 2009. This was our first night in Hong Kong.


Enjoying the magnificent view of The Venetian in Macau fronting the City of Lights. Kelvin, our friend from Macau was our tour guide.


Soaring new heights (literally) at the 360 Degree Cable Car in Hong Kong on our way to Ngong Ping. The ride was approximately 20 minutes.


The very thin air, 300+ steps and the cold wind did not stop me from doing what I really wanted to do in Hong Kong. Seeing the Giant Buddha of Ngong Ping sure made this trip simply awesome.


What happens when five friends decide to meet up in Universal Studios in Singapore? Pure fun!!! The then newly-opened USS was our only destination during Day 2 of our Singapore trip.


The Universal Studios globe at the front entrance. I miss Singapore.


In the heat of 2010's summer, me and my friends decided to walk around Orchard Rd. in Singapore and enjoy the amazing night lights of the metro.


GOOD FOOD + GOOD COMPANY = Crepe Night at Cafe Breton with my friend Vic. Don't forget to try the simple joys of their famous "La Pinay" (mango crepe topped with yummy vanilla ice cream and Nutella) and my personal favorite, "PB&J" (peanut butter and jelly). The "Mozzarella Burger" is a definite must-have too.


Taking our time off from the hustle and bustle of the metro for some cold breeze courtesy of Tagaytay. Starbucks was THE most perfect place to chill (literally). =)

BOY GOES GIRLY by Toni Villafuerte

Image
"Boy Goes Girly" is a blog series that aims to promote confidence in one's sexuality regardless of gender. It promotes being at peace with how you do things even if society dictates that certain things should only be done by certain people. It's a guilt-free pass to amazingly fun things to do and sometimes a bit of trivia comes with it. Enjoy. For our first installment, I bought Summit Media's "Total Girl Slambook" recently and I thought it could be interesting to answer something that's completely mindless and yet incredibly entertaining. I encourage you to answer some of the questions I answered or even get the book. It's only Php 150. *love love love*

The Wonderful Things I Learned From Mr. Wrong

Image
Every girl (and a whole lot of guys too) I know are in this never ending search for Mr. Right.   According to the myth, Mr. Right is called Mr. Right simply because he is the most perfect fit as to what everyone wants in the guy they date. He is the one we can’t wait to tell our friends about. He is someone we would want our parents or family to meet. He is the one we cannot tweet enough about or potentially the subject of at least 50% of our Instagram and Facebook posts. He is our destiny. WHO: Mr. Right Across many different cultures, Mr. Right is believed to be good looking, smart, healthy, sensible, financially independent, a gentleman, funny, reliable, good in sports, can handle his alcohol, loyal, honest, good in bed and has the most perfect timing. He is most commonly played by the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Brad Pitt, Jericho Rosales and John Lloyd Cruz in all the romantic comedy films with a happy ending that we all loved. ...

OF PROMS, BLACK SHIRTS AND EVER BILENA

Image
by Toni Villafuerte It was 3 o’clock in the morning and my friend and I have been talking for hours trying to catch up about what has happened for the last few months. “Oh, I’m gonna tell you a story about this dance event I attended…”, says John (not his real name of course. Sheesh.). “You went to that? How was it?”, this is me. “It was a bit of a drag, but it was okay.” Him. “Did you have fun?” Me. “Not really. But a girl asked me to ask her to dance.” Him. “She did? This is not King and Queen of Hearts right?” Me making fun of him. “Nah. I can’t remember what the song was but it sure was uncomfortable!” Him. “Huh? What do you mean by that?” Me, asking. “Everyone was staring at us. Making fun of me. They just know the girl sooo isn’t my type.” Him, a bit defensive. “She wasn’t? Why not?” Me, confused. “She just isn’t. She was wearing something expensive yet funny-looking. And did ...
