Lechon kawali, nearly every lunch.
Lechon kawali, nearly every lunch break through college. Still a staple, still special.
Mochi, Sachi, PanPan
Cat lover and dog lover, both. Mochi and Sachi are the cats on the shelf. PanPan is the dog in the tuxedo.
Diamond, Platinum: League, Valorant
Tactical and strategy games, the odd shooter. Diamond in League of Legends and TFT, Platinum in Valorant. Assassin’s Creed II is the all-time favourite; Warcraft and StarCraft the strategy ones.
Water, Mizu
Mizu Chimu, once pro.
I was once a professional Mobile Legends: Bang Bang player. I named our team Mizu Chimu, water team, because my teammates were my workmates at a water utility.
I collect perfumes from local, designer and niche houses, plus one signature scent from every country I visit. Amouage Outlands is my signature; Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill for clean and fresh.
Drone, at weddings.
I once covered weddings and flew the drone. Capturing them from above was the draw. Getting married myself, it turned out, was not.
I was active in the crypto space and built a real following, then ran out of hours for it. The old page is still up: NesFBPH on Facebook.
On a down day I go up.
I love rooftops. On a down day I go up. I have been to enough rooftops around Metro Manila to have the best ones memorised.
Heights. Deep water. Freediving lessons. Skydiving next.
Afraid of heights and deep water, so I took swimming and freediving lessons to get past them. Skydiving is next.
Everywhere so far: Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam
Everywhere so far.
The desk, Manila time
Manila time:
Warm lamps, a real desk, Anypoint Studio, Cursor, and a notes app full of RAML fragments I should have committed already.
Nes, the handles
