Ang episode na ito ay nasa wikang Filipino (sa abot ng aking makakaya) dahil nga sa Buwan ng Wika ang Buwan ng Agosto. Ito ang mga tanong na sinagot ko sa episode na ito: In the haste of your daily life, what are you not seeing? If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Have you ever regretted something you did not say or do? Has your greatest fear ever come true? Why do we think of others the most when they’re gone? Available din ang epi...

Andrew is a friend with whom I can talk about books and ideas for hours. He is Taiwanese and we've only met over two years ago.

In this episode, we talked about our reading habits, the books we've recently read, some ideas that fascinate us and more. This episode is also available as a vodcas...

He used to be an instructor in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the University of the Philippines Diliman and I've been lucky to have him as my instructor in one of my majors.

I invited a stranger-turned-into-friend from a language exchange app called HelloTalk to become my guest in this episode.

In this episode, Alex and I talk about the app where we met (HelloTalk), a number of things about language learning, and the Korean social networking sites that are popularly used in Korea.

My first try at doing a Korean ASMR. I am still unable to whisper in Korean without becoming very inaudible, so this is the softest voice I can use (for now). These are just my thoughts whenever it rains. I also shared a few remarkable memories I have with rain and rainstorms. I am thinking of creating more content like this in the future. This has a video version on YouTube as well - https://youtu.be/liXNyCs2AwE. Check it out and let me know what you think

Yza was my batchmate in college. We both studied chemical engineering. I invited her to appear on my podcast and discuss the following topics: 1. What is the most important thing you learned during your college days which you find as still very relevant now? 2. What are the things you wished you learned before joining the workforce? 3. What would be your advice to college students or recent graduates who are now transitioning to "adulting" and will soon become part of the workforce? We also talk...

Throughout June, I answered 30 out of the popularized 365 questions to have some introspection and to also test and improve on my spontaneity. I came to know myself better after answering all these 30 questions and I might do this again (hopefully not alone next time). Tell me what you think! Follow me wherever you may find me. I'm on Facebook, IG, Twitter, LinkedIn. And yes, I'm in Manila, but please don't go around following me physically. That's just not the way this works! See you around the...

Four friends recall their experiences and share realizations from doing a provincial theater production over 10 years ago, me included! This is more like an online catch-up date amongst friends with a twist. If you know the four of us, it'd be easier to relate. But even if you didn't, it's okay to sneak in and eavesdrop.

In this episode, I share four poems which I wrote about four women whom I have come to know from my childhood until my teenage years. I think these stories have somehow formed how I view women in my life. And toward the end, I also mention why I write poems or write stories in relation to creating physical files/artifacts for memories. You can find my old poems on my Facebook page called "Lyrico Hijo".
