I’m Well Nourished When I’m Happy

Someone told me I’m malnourished. It just so happened that today I was looking through some old photos of me, and guess what, I was not always malnourished! Skinny, like the rest of my family, but definitely NOT malnourished. :P

Bagasbas Beach, Daet, Camarines Norte

And this was a photo I accidentally found on Flickr. I forget how I came to find this photo, but I did. Its title was actually, “Inspired by Love” – for what reason, I have no idea. :P

Angku and Ewok in Daet

I found this old photo of me, taken in Bagasbas, Daet, Camarines Norte, back in May 2008. We had driven all the way from Manila, and took our dog Ewok with us, for my 26th birthday weekend. We spent the weekend surfing and doing all kinds of fun activities at the first Bagasbas Surf Camp. This was me after spending the morning out surfing.

The Coffeebreak Island “No Hero” Launch at Merci Bar and Restaurant

The plane had just landed when I got a text from my friend and Potter’s Place co-teacher Eric asking me if I wanted to go to the Coffeebreak Island gig Friday night. I said, “Sure.” I haven’t seen Eric since his last visit at our old apartment in Bonn St. the year before.

I like Coffeebreak Island. The first time I got to watch them perform was at this random night out H and I had, after watching a play in CCP, in the old Xaymaca back in 2008. We liked them enough to buy their album and we liked them even more after watching them perform at the very first Bagasbas Surf Camp in May 2008. (Click here to see the photos from that event.)

I have been to Merci Bar only once before. It was for a Flush and the Toilets gig. I was very much surprised to see a packed Merci Bar, nothing like I have seen before. More

Tai O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Tai O (traditional Chinese: 大澳) is a fishing town, partly located on an island of the same name, on the western side of Lantau Island in Hong Kong – and it is where Lia and I found ourselves one afternoon, after taking an hour long bus ride from Mui Wo.
