At nakalimutan ko pang i-share what happened to me last Sunday while driving around somewhere in Charleston dahil I have no more clue where I was. You know me, got car, will drive! And so, that’s exactly what [...]

No, I have no interest in bashing cops. With the kind of work they do, they don’t deserve it. But I seem to magnet cops in South Carolina and it’s not about my good looks, duda ko suspicious lang talaga muka ko hehe! Here’s my story. I drove to Dunkin Donuts a few hours ago. [...]

Thumbnail image for Folly Beach: a quick trip to the shore

I like the beach. Heck! Nangi-ngisda kaya ako nun! Haha! Halata ba? Ok. We don’t really call it a “beach”. But one thing I like in Charleston is that, the shore is just a short 30-minute drive. Unlike in Philadelphia na aabutin ka nang limang delubyo before you can get to the shore. Rehoboth Beach [...]

In Philadelphia, try ordering a chicken caesar salad and they’ll bring you an acre of veggies and a dozen live chickens. I swear to the gods in lettuce paradise that you’d call the salad cops for you’d fear you’re being drowned in veggies! So I thought, ok, let me try to be a healthy freak [...]

Another drive down south, this will be Take 2. It’s a half-way length from Philadelphia to New Orleans. I wanted to stay overnight in Virginia Beach, but there was a storm forecast. I was afraid to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I’ve experienced crossing that bridge in the past, under heavy rains, winds, and waves [...]
