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.

When we first moved to our home in February 2012, When we first moved to our home in February 2012, a neighbor offered to us her puppy for adoption. At that time, he was about 3 months old and not properly nourished. We were keen on having a guard dog in our house so we took him in. It was raining that day we adopted him so I named him Rain. (lol)

Cringey that name was, Rain grew to be a reliable member of the family. Always on guard not only vs. strangers but even insects, frogs, and snakes, he went above and beyond, at times at the risk of his own life for the sake of duty. 

He was also well-disciplined even though we never trained him that much. Almost always, he would pee and poop either in the CR or in the garden so he almost never made a mess inside the house. He also had this peculiar habit of making his bed by laying his blanket perfectly flat so he could sleep on it.

Dogs usually have a lifespan of 10-13 years. The fact that he made it past 14 years is amazing in itself, a testament to his sheer determination and tenacity. But I’d like to think he lived this long because he enjoyed so much being a part of our family who has given him a chance in life.

Thank you Rain for the memories. Now run free there in dog heaven.

    Rethinking the Idea of a Greater Metro Manila

    April 9, 2021

    With Metro Manila's expansion beyond its borders, alongside the introduction of the NCR+ concept in the wake of reimposed stricter quarantine measures, the idea of a Greater Metro Manila is being reconsidered. But how should it look like? We may finally have an answer.

    On San Miguel’s New Manila International Airport Project in Bulacan

    August 7, 2019

    By all intents and purposes, San Miguel Corporation's airport dreams are beginning to be realized. But it must be stressed, "beginning" is the operative word in that sentence. The real work is about to begin.

    Side Trips: A food trip to San Miguel, Bulacan

    November 29, 2018

    Sometimes, the Urban Roamer finds himself in places outside the metropolis. More so since for the past five years or so, this roamer has been living outside the metropolis itself.  Consider this something long overdue. As one of the 24 towns and cities that comprise the province of Bulacan north of Metro Manila, San Miguel is one of the towns that don’t get much of the spotlight. Save perhaps for one part of this town, the village of Biak na Bato where the truce between the Spanish forces and the Filipino revolutionaries under Emilio Aguinaldo was signed. But other than that, not many people know what else does this northern…
