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.

Finally gotten around to watching Spider-Man: Bran Finally gotten around to watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And yes, I'm dressed for the occasion, lol.

I originally wanted to watch it on Screen X but the the schedules available did not match mine and if there were, the seats available were near the screen too much. I instead decided to watch it at SM's Directors Club cinema, my first time watching a movie at such venue. If anything, I love the reclining seats and USB charging ports. 

There were some things I found lacking at the cinema but at this point, I’m too tired to care. and I just wanted to see a movie.
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.

    Overlapping Legacies: From Pantranco to Fisher Mall

    May 11, 2019

    The area at the corner of Quezon Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue in Quezon City is an overlooked but important area in the city, and in the metropolis as a whole. That is because this particular area has been home to two landmark structures that have shaped the landscape of the city. The promise and decline of Pantranco The development of this area began by the late 1950s when it was chosen to be the site of the new and bigger Manila terminal of the Pangasinan Transportation Company, better known by its acronym Pantranco.
