  • Brainfarts Ep. 48: Gone Girls: A Deep Dive Reflection Paper with Andrea Aldeguer

    We are back with our resident life coach, manager and cultural critic, Dre! In our last episode together we bonded over a lot of topics but one topic in particular we could not shut up about was the movie Gone Girl... AKA one of THE best crime thriller movies ever to be created in our lifetime thus far. We like to believe in the delusion that we are true crime detectives and that maybe by understanding the psyche of the characters we can understand the motives of Amy... pero ang ending? Nag yawyaw ngano uso ang "cool girl cool girl" narrative karon.   

    I wish I could say we had a structured discussion and "depth dove" the waters of this movie, but of course na himog group counseling and therapy session ang episode.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 47: new year, same us

    Welkom bok to brainforts! 

    Wow, it feels strangely good to be back. We catch up and reflect on 2021 and how we believe it was a great year of opportunities for us. We can't help but feel grateful amidst the trying times and especially after the typhoon, we are genuinely grateful for what 2021 taught us. We reflect on our pErsOnAL jOurniEs and how things unfolded for us.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 46: Let's Talk About Grief and Loss with Bro Ro

    We tackle the painful topic of grief and loss with one of the teachers who made a huge impact in our formative years, Bro (Fr.) Ro. It's a topic we feel like we couldn't do alone and having Bro on the pod really helped us iron out what grief and loss is about. We talk about what it means to feel languished, healthy vs unhealthy coping mechanisms, how important it is to allow yourself to acknowledge your feelings, and creating a self-care routine!   

    We had such an insightful conversation with Bro and we hope you learned a thing or two about navigating your feelings through these difficult times.   

    Support Bro Ro and his book "The Miracle of The Ordinary" by sending an email to [email protected] for your orders and inquiries. JesCom will deliver the books straight to your address! Also available on Lazada.

    DISCLAIMER: First few minutes of Bro's audio is quite choppy but IT GETS BETTER. WE PROMISE.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 45: Your Body is a Healthy Wonderland
    A wise poet once said "Your body is a wonderland". We sit and chat with Dre of @betterfoodmarketph as she talks about her journey towards a healthier lifestyle. We talk about body positivity, how we love and admire Dre's confidence and the misconceptions often associated with this social movement. She talks about her vision for betterfoodmarketph and how eating healthy shouldn't be as drastic and scary as most diet fads. Ideally, we wanted to stick to the topic but we spent a good one hour jumping from talking about what a "pick me" girl is, the movie Gone Girl, and many other topics completely unrelated to what this pod is about. Suffice to say, Dre was definitely on-brand by staying as off-topic as possible.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 44: Figuring Out Your Craft with Zach Lopez
    How does music influence your life? We had a wonderful conversation with Zach about how music played a huge role in his life, growing up as an eccentric kid with an even more eccentric taste in music. We talk about his first gig experience, what made him pick up a guitar, and expanding his hobbies through his record shop, @tidal.vinyl.
    We had so much fun chitchatting with one of our dearest friends and we hope you enjoy the Zach Lopez origin story as much as we did.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 43: Womanhood Woes: Do We See Ourselves As Moms?

    We catch up and chitchat about life and the next thing you know we freak out about motherhood, having babies, marriage, and all the things women go through. 

    Alyssa talks about enjoying life and being able to do whatever she wants, Zarah encourages bagging your own things in the grocery and we end this episode with another TikTok video that makes no sense. 

    This entire episode was just us drastically overthinking and reassuring ourselves only to freak out about the next thing. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

  • Brainfarts Ep. 42: A Brainfarts Halloween with Yssa and Paula
    Halloooooweeeeeeeeen! Welcome to the first ever Brainfarts Halloween special and boy did we start this episode with a bang. We are joined by our frequent guests Yssa and Paula as we talk about all things spooky. Alyssa puts on her true crime detective hat on as she recaps the Gabby Petito case and we talk more about Filipino folklore and the scary stories we grew up listening to. Yssa shares about the balete tree outside her home which opens the question, are enkantos Pinoy elves? Paula shares a very interesting exorcist story that gave us all the heeby jeebies. We loved reminiscing the days where we would pass around a True Philippine Ghost Story book around the classroom and gather in circles to talk about them. Hope you guys enjoy the spookfest!

  • Brainfarts Ep. 41: Sustainability in Fashion with Joanne Andrea

    Welcome to the new season! We start off this brand new season with our dear friend Joanne. We just woke up from our respective naps, got up to record, and we would just want to thank Joanne for dealing with our ALIMUNGAWAN brains!? We talk about going out of our comfort zones and taking the road less travelled as Jo shares her story about how she decided to take Fine Arts instead of going the usual MED slash BUSINESS slash LAW route.   

    We love seeing our friends pursue their passions and Joanne has been so passionate in her career in fashion by advocating for sustainability. She shares tips on how to be practical and still be sustainable. We learned a lot about what sustainability in fashion really means, and we'd love for you guys to hear what she has got to say!

  • Brainfarts Ep. 40: Grand Season Finale: The Brainfarts Why

    Oh how time flies! Can you believe we made it to 2 seasons?! LOOK AT US! In this ep we recap our journey and boy was it an affhill slofe (Alexa please play Go The Distance Hercules Soundtrack). 

    We talk about our "why's" and what this pod means to us. It was very sentimental save for a lot of phlegm, coughing and burping. Alyssa shows off her new hair, Zarah eats mojos na way lami while in a rush to prep for work, and we both still somehow managed to go off tangent.   

    Thanks for sticking with us the past two seasons guys! We love how our lil Brainfarts Podgang is shaping up.
