  • Brainfarts Ep. 38: Let's Talk About Pageants with Mikko
    It's pageant szn! And what better way to celebrate pageants than having an extensive DEPTH DOVE with our dear friend, Mikko! Mikko has been a pageant enthusiast through and through and has always provided such interesting output regarding pageants. We ask a lot (like a LOT) of questions regarding how pageants are celebrated in the Philippines, the relevance of pageants in this day and age, the beauty standards revolving around the industry, and celebrating women in general!
    We had a lot of eye opening moments during this pod and it changed the way we see pageants. We hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode as much as we recorded it!

    We talk about how Shrek shaped our lives and the group decides whether La La Land is a good movie or not. Spoiler alert: Paula and Zarah are definitely team La La Land eyes

  • Brainfarts Ep. 36: Navigating Our Quarter Life Crisis with Yssa and Paula

    Probably one of our most serious topics to date as we tackle our fears and vulnerabilities while dealing with the pressures of life. 

    We initially had no itinerary and no structure to what we wanted to talk about until we decided, "HEY! Let's talk about our quarter life crises!". Yssa talks about what she's doing in Madrid which is a program called Auxillares de Conversacion so to anyone who's interested in uprooting their lives and moving to Madrid, listen to this episode to know more!! Paula talks about her big transition in life and tackling the fear of starting over again.   

    We realized as well that the pressures of society do tend to get the best of us and looking at the bigger picture -- we are doing great, sweety.

  • Brainfarts Ep. 35: Tambag or Na Yabag: Kalibangon Problems, First Kiss Mishaps and How to Commit to Games?

    We tackle a bunch of Tambag or Na Yabag entries and boy did we have a good LAUGH! In this episode, we talk about the uncertainty of feeling kalibangon, how to recover from an awkward and super unintentional first kiss and avoiding networking scheme scammers. 

    We cap off the episode with an interesting and relatable question by Gamer_GhuRL1234 (not her real name) as she asks us how to get into games more now that she has the means to!   

    Sit back, relax, and enjoy this pod that is nothing short of laughs and a whole bunch of phlegm.
