It’s a big world after all.
Happy Friday, everyone!
Lola and The Nineties

Well, Todrick Hall certainly brought back lots of fab memories for the 80s/90s kid in me.
This is just fun and amazing.
Quite The Unique Unit
by allancarreon on Aug.09, 2017, under My Life, Travel & Culture
As I’ve been doing more and more travel in the last few years, I’ve come to use AirBnB more frequently. I really only registered some time late in 2016, and so far I’ve really appreciated this as an alternative to accommodations. It doesn’t mean I’ve foregone traditional hotels and hostels, but knowing an alternative exists is great.
Last weekend, to celebrate my birthday with my besties, we decided to do a staycation just here in Metro Manila. We were considering a couple of hotels, but those we wanted were largely fully booked. I then found an intriguing listing on AirBnB, a loft unit in The Gramercy Residences, and it was a fantastic choice.

Fifty years ago today, five nations in Southeast Asia united to promote growth of the economy, social progress, and regional stability. Now, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a ten-member rising power that’s known for progress, diplomacy, amd goodwill.

And I couldn’t agree more.
The Elongated Man
by allancarreon on Aug.05, 2017, under Film & TV, Geeky, Queer
I cannot say I’m a big fan of DC’s Elongated Man a.k.a. Ralph Dibny. While I like him enough, especially when he and his wife Sue were with Justice League Europe, I always preferred Plastic Man in the strechy super-hero game.
Ralph had already been mentioned as an easter egg on CW’s The Flash TV show, and given that he was Barry’s best friend in the comics, it was only a matter of time before they bring him in. And this past week, they announced that they’ve cast the character for a recurring Season 4 role, and boy did they get it right (visually, at least – let’s see how they actually write him).
Memories of Maritess

Maritess will never, ever grow old. And with Justice League coming out later this year, it’s just but awesome for me to dig this out of YouTube – oh, and for the record, I first saw this years before YouTube ever even existed.
Go, go, Maritess! Happy Friday, everyone.

Be beautiful.
