Namaste! Yogi Fair August 2013

Girls wearing flower bands, sitar psychedelic music, vegetarian food, earth-friendly products, yoga stuff, art, peace symbols, tie dye. All these things seem reminiscent of Woodstock in the 60's. And yes, all these things and more were had at the Yogi Fair. 

Last Sunday, my friends and I visited the Yogi Fair at My Little Art Place along Wilson St. in Greenhills. It was supposed to be held last August 18 but then Maring had a bitch fit which then rendered the event moved to August 25.

Rio de Janeiro!

There is no question as to why Rio de Janeiro constantly remains one of the top favorites for various vacation destinations. Of all the many places I visited, tourist sights I saw, food I ate and people I met, there is only one factor I did not really like about the cidade maravilhosa: muy caro!

Cristo Redentor wooden sculpture I bought for my lola.

But then if you're traveling for the thrill of experiences then this should not bother you. However, seeing as I was traveling alone with nothing but a mere 200 Reais to my name, expenses can be really tricky for a 3-day Rio de Janeiro stay.

Roma, La Cita Eterna!

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

I had such a superb time in Rome!! Every second, every scenery and nook and cranny seemed fit for a post card moment. One of my favorite cities to date. The city was truly marvelous.

One of the scariest travel experiences I had so far (up to my travels in May 2012 at least) was climbing up the stairs in the St. Peter's Basilica cornucopia. Claustrophobia, exhaustion and more claustrophobia. But getting to the top was totally worth the effort.

Eat gelato, visit the famous sites, took a lot of photos and gallivant around!! Sadly, no vespa for me on this Roman holiday. And no, I did not do as the Romans did.

Without further ado, I'd like to present my less than high-res travel photos in Rome.

Why I Am Rich Even If I Don't Look Like It

One fine day at work, when my task load wasn't that heavy, I found myself browsing the interwebs for stuff to read. At least I'm feeding my brain and enlightening my soul whilst at a nine-to-grind job. (Well, actually it's 11am-8pm)

The great thing about being bored at times is that I constantly try to find things to keep my mind preoccupied. Preoccu-mind. So anyway, going back to the browsing, I was so glad I chanced upon this article on the Business Insider.

It made me reflect and think on my current financial status: I'm broke but I'm rich.
