Tong Yang
These pictures were taken more than two years ago, but I never really had the chance to post them here on Tumblr.

13 September 2009
The whole Toledo clan was treated to a hearty lunch at the Tong Yang, a buffet-style restaurant, located at the Pan Pacific Hotel along Adriatico St., Manila. I was their official photographer that day. Haha. I used Canon D500, but I was on point-and-shoot...

That obligatory Christmas-y post.
So, how’s your Christmas vacation so far?
Mine has been a pretty good one, I suppose. I’m the type that really just likes to stay at home, watching re-runs of American TV series and rolling in the bed. So basically, I just stayed home with my siblings. We watched TV all day and depleted our holiday supply of food. Fun.
I’m actually having a hard time doing the exercise program...
Top 15 Reasons for being a Chemical Engineer →
dancingnerdfighter:

10. Those marks left on your face after wearing goggles for 4 hours are so becoming.
9. I thought Fugacity was an...

To infinity and beyond!
The new semester has already begun, and I’m actually enjoying it. I enrolled in only 15 units, the lightest I’ve had so far, so I now have more time for my academic requirements and myself and love life (yikee!). I’m actually avoiding additional commitments from my organizations so as to really focus more on my studies. I’m now dedicated more than ever to get higher grades...

Noble and Ever Loyal City →
theurbanhistorian:
It is interesting to note that Nick Joaquin did not use the Pearl of the Orient title for Manila in his literature. Instead he used the Noble and Ever Loyal City in his writings. Now I see the sense of it, even Penang, Malaysia use the Pearl of the Orient label for tourism promotion purposes. Japan is also the Pearl of the Orient (in their perspective). Every Asian city claim...

HOW TO SURVIVE ENGINEERING SCHOOL
Dear Engineering Student,
Don’t take the title of this column literally. Despite the incomprehensible lectures, endless homework, and impossible tests, studying engineering has rarely been fatal. Nevertheless, things may not always go quite the way you would like—classes with absurd amounts of work and test averages in the 50s are facts of life in engineering. I had lots of classes like that when...

I will never forget the day I used Facebook best.
ificanchangetheworld:
I once chatted up with a cab driver on my way home, two years ago.
He asked me if I wanted to listen to his life story, and I thought why not, right? He told me he married young, separated after 10 years of unhappiness, and got left behind in the Philippines as his wife and his three children flew off to the States for a better life. He is now married with children, but he...

Psychology Test
I think this personality test is a good one (take one at psychcentral.com), hitting all the right spots.
Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don’t tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.
You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go...

Think Before You Get Offended. →
cjdesilva:
I was hearing a very angry Ted Failon on the cab’s stereo.
“Artist ka diba? I-drowing mo nga ang Diyos mo. Tapos lalagyan namin ito ng ari ng lalaki. Hindi ka ba mababastos?”
Obviously, Ted Failon was talking about the current national controversy - Filipino artist Mideo Cruz and…
