Tom N Toms Coffee / Where Am I?


I have been playing hide and seek with my creativity
these past few weeks. With our thesis defense and our
futures on the line, I can't just frolic around
and blog to my heart's content. I had shit to do.

Although now that the defense is done, I still couldn't
find time to shoot on purpose and create something more
than just an update from my very mundane day to day life.

Nevertheless, here is a Where Am I? entry for you to have
a little something to read on. I did put in a lot of effort to
the editing of the photos because 1. I love process and
2. The photos put me in an editing mood. They're one
of the most "blank canvas" photos shot by Hanna Banana.


A little info about Tom N Toms:
1. 24 hours open (yay)
2. Great food
3. OK drinks (coffee specifically)
4. Amazing interior
5. Slow service
6. Moderately fast Wi-Fi

That's all I have so far. It was my first visit after all.


Say hello to my sister's striped b**bs hahaha

I'm ending the post with a pixelated photo
because I'm too lazy to edit another one and
fix the resolution. Don't be mad, pls?

Xo, Benj.

Feel Good List : 10 Things You Can Do For You #SelfLoveSeries

Hello and welcome back! Coming at you straight away with 10 little things you can do to give in little kicks of self-care and self-love. Some are quite personal but you can try them out and share with me your thoughts about it. This might not be for everyone but I'm still excited for the ones who can relate. Let's get started! 1 . Watch a movie alone. Like, literally alone. No social media posts, no telling a bunch of people that you're going to watch a movie alone, now whatever. It makes the experience private and special. 2.  Listen to Ted Talks. You're learning + getting inspiration. It's a win-win situation. 3 . Listen to a podcast that talks about things you genuinely care about. Currently, I'm listening to The Minimalists podcast by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. 4 . When you're travelling home from work and have the chance to see the sky as you walk to your bus stop or any terminal or anytime you have the chance to lo...

In A World of Mindless Monsters

It's not like I need another online outlet to blabber about my issues, right? And just like any other millennial, I too have a blog I have forgotten since I stopped having free time and "life" started to happen.  But now that life really is starting to happen, I revert back to this blank page. To this blinking dash on my screen waiting for me to write the next word that pops into my mind. I guess, that apart from my ego, this blinking dash is the only thing that is waiting for me to write again. Ah, writing. What a fun anecdote. I think of writing in the form of success. Books after book written into being a New York Times Bestseller *crowd goes wild!* or a story that goes viral because of witty writing. But right now, writing is this. An outlet for a 20-something, hardly making it millennial that doesn't have much to say except, life's a fucking bitch. Because in a world of mindless monsters, including myself, I still find the world to be so mind-boggling that ca...

Life Lately .2

What a month! I never expected November to be this hectic. Maybe the semester break on the start of the month is meant to be there to get my body ready for all the crazy things that would happen. I have never had a more busy month in my life. Here is a list of the things I've been meddling with for the past weeks: 1.  I organized my first workshop as an intern! It was an amazing ride with only 2 weeks to prepare the kit and the whole thing. You can watch the video Banana and I made right HERE . She added the cute animation and I directed the video. The workshop was for Earl Tawny , a brush calligrapher based here in Cebu. It was fun and stressful but so worth it. I'm currently in the process of organizing another one... which just made me realize that I haven't even made a poster for it! Ohmygod I'm gonna diieeeee 2. I've been taking a lot of photos of paintings lately but not much of my life as a blogger (haha). I'm still poor (will send you an upd...
