It’s a travel video post. Photos just don’t do justice to the place so I decided to take it to another level – try my skills at amateur video editing. Had to find the right song, trim videos, and all the logistics and finally! Took me almost 4 days, while swamped with work in between,… Continue reading Chasing Winter | Part 1 of 3
I was a naïve 23-year-old when I left and moved abroad and joined the Filipino diaspora. Armed with meager knowledge and little confidence, I ventured into what will turn out as my life changing and character defining, long layover. At the airport during my flight home, I stared blankly into the runway savoring the details… Continue reading BACK TO BASIC
First, thank you for the warm wishes you all sent on my birthday – it’s a month late, but never too late. I am so bad at this whole reaching out business, and promise to be better at it.

From #HappiestPlaceOnEarth to #JacquieJumpsInEurope and then, #jacquieXpeachyXTurkey, now this. It has become my thing to brand it with a hashtag – a… Continue reading Five Days Of Winter
First of all, this may come in late, but nevertheless, Happy New Year! I hope 2017 started well for you. What I like about new years is that it offers us hope that somehow this year, we can turn things around and make it better. And with better I mean, polished, impeccable and faultless – but… Continue reading Viva La Vida
The first time I heard The Scientist, I was in college and was browsing through the radio while I was writing (handwritten, no less) my care plan for a clinical rotation the next day.
