My name is Iris. I'm a freelance writer, constant traveler, and wannabe photographer with an unhealthy addiction to Macbooks, funky shoes, aperture settings, giraffes, onions, and all things Roman. I live in Cebu City with a Mad Englishman and an Evil Cat. Oh yes, life is grand.

No Octavian? No Problem!

This week, I am sans Octavian. My poor baby has been suffering from a bloated battery for a while (I didn’t know, honest), and I needed to take him in to the service center because the trackpad...

A Game of Thrones Fangirly Post

I’ve just finished watching the latest Game of Thrones, and can I just say, “wow.” They did such an excellent job on the King’s Landing riot – so intense! And of course,...

Pardon me while I whine.

This has not been a good day. Pardon me while I whine. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. This, after not even being sure that I actually slept! (Do you ever get that feeling?) I...

Scared Sleepless

As of this writing, I’ve been tossing and turning for hours, trying to get some sleep. It’s turning out to be next to impossible, thanks to my newfound source of stress. I should stop obs...

Google’s Evil Penguin

I’m pretty sure that when the Mayans predicted a global catastrophe in 2012, they were talking about the Google Penguin update. (If you don’t work in SEO, you’re probably going ”say...

A Cat Post

Folks, meet Dany and Smokey. They’re two strays that The Husband feeds regularly, and they’re adorable. Dany (short for Daenerys, naturally) is a rather small female. What she lacks in si...

The Evolution of A Traveler

While most people take their spending habits or career goals or even clothing choices into perspective, I think about how much my travel preferences have evolved from, say, five years ago. When I was...

This cold fish.

I went to Europe in the dead of winter – one of the worst winters in recent years, as a matter of fact. People thought I was crazy, considering that I’ve never been anywhere truly cold be...

Welcome to my exciting life.

I want to blog, I really do. But if all I’m going to end up with are sniveling drafts bemoaning the lack of excitement in my life, I figured I’d better keep those to myself. It’s no...

I’m on Instagram!

So today, I’ve making an effort to blog again. Do I miss blogging? I’m not entirely sure. It’s not like I’ve taken my life offline entirely. If anything, I’m even more a...

Pining for Paris.

I haven’t been blogging. Mainly because I haven’t quite gotten over Europe. Paris, especially. All I’ve done since I’ve been back is pine for the city and its people and its l...

The Truth Hurts

I wasn’t going to write anything about that 20 Reasons Why I Dislike The Philippines video, but with people on Facebook having heated fights about it, I figured what the hell. First, let me jus...

I walk the line.

Once upon a time, I dated somebody who I had absolutely nothing in common with. It didn’t work out, obviously, but he did have one very important contribution to my life. He gave me Johnny Cash...

The best boots. EVER.

I brought 4 pairs of boots with me to Europe. I brought two black pairs (my heeled Promods and low Acne Pistol-ish ankle boots), my 14-hole cherry red Dr. Martens, and my tan Jeffrey Campbell LES (Lo...

The Plan

Europe-bound.

I’ve been sitting on something big for a while now, mainly because I did not want to say anything until I knew without a doubt that it was going to happen. But now, it looks like it is totally happen...

Caped.

For over a year now, I’ve had this strange obsession with capes. By cape, I mean the ones worn by British schoolchildren back in the 40s and 50s, not the ones that look like mexican blankets li...

Another year to do it right.

Photo from my Sabah, Malaysia trip back in May 2011. I have mixed feelings about the year that was. My blessings were plenty, oh yes, and I’m eternally grateful. But then, there was also a smat...

Things that are currently making me happy.

In no particular order: 1. The prospect of travel. The Husband and I are off to Hong Kong again in a month! I had my heart set on Peru for the longest time, but now that I’ve finally let it go ...

Pottermore!

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a real Potter nut. I can spend the day regaling you on the things I’ve done and the things I will do for my Harry Potter fix. But because I’m havi...

Stress.

I’ve had a horrible, horrible day. Well, at least, the latter part of it. So I FINALLY decided to invest on a new suitcase today. This is a big deal, mind you, because believe it or not, I̵...

Acceptance.

Life has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me lately. About a month ago, I applied and was accepted to a fantastic volunteer program. I was meant to go to Lima, Peru for a few weeks in Septembe...

Friday Funnies: How to Watch a Movie Like It’s Nobody’s Business

Thighs. ❤❤❤ My nephew is a little ball of fun, is he not? He’s just a little over 4 months shy of his third birthday, but he already looks like a six-year-old. He’s smart, funny, and so precocious th...

Quickie

Yes, I know I promised to write more about the Borneo trip, but a few things came up. So it looks like that post is going to have to wait another day or two. Forgive? Right now: My Internet is all so...

Borneo Bound: Partie Une

This morning, I woke up determined to write about our trip to Malaysian Borneo, as promised. But then I couldn’t figure out where to start, so I decided to just write a post for each of the three dis...

Tuesday Rant: Demiwords

I haven’t ranted on this blog for a while now, so in honor of my very foul mood today, I shall rant up a storm. Just because. There are plenty of things that annoy me. The grating accent that (...

Domesticated.

The Husband and I have some big travel plans for the next couple of years. Peanuts and walmart coupons won’t suffice for world travel, however, so we’ve had to seriously re-evaluate our f...

Back From Borneo

If you follow me on Twitter, then you’re probably one of the many people I’ve bored senseless with details and updates of our trip to Malaysian Borneo. Sorry about that. Some things just ...

A Shopping Analysis

I was killing time in the mall yesterday, waiting to meet up with Chin for dessert, so I decided to window-shop some. I was browsing through the racks in Topshop when it suddenly hit me: I’ve b...
