I booked my flight from Manila to Tokyo (Haneda) using a Promo Fare via Philippine AIrlines. This flight is going to be my first flight as an OFW so I wanted to make it as special as possible. I initially wanted to book Singapore Airlines since its services and facilities are superb. However, I also …
Last 2 weeks in Manila
After my vacation back in Cagayan de Oro, I still had a lot of things to settle back in Manila. Aside from the usual send off get togethers, my biggest roadblock was really getting rid of my things. Initially, I told myself that I would just sell them off at OLX. But just the though …
Leaving My 2nd Home of 6 years
Thank you OLX Philippines for the opportunity to work with you for the past 6 years. My journey with you wasn’t easy, in fact, it was rocky at first.

Micro-chipping my cats via Petdentity
My cat Toshio, whom I rescued about two years ago, still isn’t spayed at the moment. I will be bringing them to the province once I leave for Japan next month and the neutering cost in the province is like 8x the cost here in Manila. It should be cheaper right? No. Supply and demand. …
Architecting on AWS Training
This week, I had my 4-day training on Architecting on AWS. It wasn’t that easy, not because the training was hard. It wasn’t easy because I had to wake up early, and arrive at the venue at 9am. I’ve been so used to coming to the office at around 1pm. Courses: AWS Technical Essentials (Foundational, 1 …
