I recently got a chance to acquire this pre-loved CS Nocaster. I had to part ways with 2 of my guitars to get this done. I love the U shape neck in this and how it drips with tone! The flamed maple neck is a great touch too! All photos taken with the Sony A7lll […]
Fender Japan makes some of the best value Fender electric guitars in the world. They can definitely hold their own and in many cases, are better built with better craftsmanship the their same USA made counterpart (except maybe for the Fender elite, vintage reissue and custom shop series). I own this 2007 Fender Japan 62RI […]
Being in a lockdown with an elbow injury can be plain torture when you have all the time in the world to play guitar and experiment and make music and yet not be allowed to do so until your elbow is healed. So I just did the next best thing, which is to do a […]
It’s been a while since I last used my Rolleiflex 2.8FE2. It’s a camera that is older than me (manufactured between 1959-1960) but it’s still functioning like it should which is a great testament to the German build quality and workmanship.

For foodies travelling up north to Baguio, Foggy Mountain Cookhouse should be a familiar name. Chef Marianito “Babes” Reyes opened this wonderful place at the outskirts of Baguio city proper. It is located on the outskirts of Baguio City proper but nonetheless, it is quite easy to access specially via Waze. The alfresco dining area […]

Antonio’s Fine Dining is our family’s happy place in Tagaytay. It’s a place we travel to maybe twice a year for the ambiance and for (in my personal opinion) the best steak I’ve ever tasted.
I recently traded one of my guitars – a Fender Roadworn 50’s Telecaster for this vintage white (looks more like shell pink) 2008 Fender Japan 62 Vintage Reissue Stratocaster. This was part of their DiMarzio Collection where in they installed DiMarzio Vintage pickups in it. I didn’t like the way the DiMarzio sounded so I […]
