Now

An up-to-date list of what and how I’m doing these days; what I’d tell a relative/friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Or when somebody asks, “kumusta?”

Last updated on 31 Oct, 2026 from my relative’s house in Tayabas, Quezon.

Inspired by nownownow.com.


Faculty member in CEU - Manila

I work part-time as a clinical instructor in school's Vision Eye Care Center.

Simplifying this blog's design by substraction

A home page and a blog link should suffice this website. I'm inspired by the personal websites of Derek Sivers, DHH (although links his blog outside his personal website), Nate Meyvis, and Nikhil's Blog.

Spending Undas with my relatives in Quezon

This is my first undas to spend with my family since I started working. Currently free from the retail life for seven months now.

Missing my wife at the moment. Although I’ll be meeting her again in two days so it’s manageable (for me, at least).

Ah. Newly weds.

Building OptoReview

OptoReview is still growing. No one has bought monthly passes recently and I don't expect anyone will until a few months the next board exam.

I also saw Klaro PH, which is structured very similar to what I just built... but with more tools and good infrastructure. Learning more about its stack gave me an idea on how to optimize the website.
