I met Pranesh on an interesting non-dating app online and we've been friends for quite a time. As you listen to this episode, you'll realize that he is quite a character, but undeniably intelligent and talented (0:23). He shares one of his favorite pastimes during the lockdown, which is the Microsoft flight simulator, FSX (10:40).

We all know the the saying, "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are" and if you ask me, I am very pleased with the people I chose to surround myself with including JOEEEY!

We also talk about Gaming and Zombies and Taking Leaps of Faith and how to make turning points in life count! O diba ang layo? 

I hope you are all safe and well wherever you are listening to this episode right now and I hope that can keep you company in this difficult time!

Denise and I met in college, and from back then til now, she has been one of the few that I admire the most because of her wit, her grace, fearlessness and go-getter attitude! Join me as we get to know more about this super gal (0:29) us as we reminisce on our Uste and Quiapo escapades (2:08) and as she talks about her life in Japan (19:12) and her life now in Luxembourg (48:18)! I have to warn you though, she is also extremely hilarious, which is why I am ROTFL all throughout the show! Did I mention that she is also one talented chef? Check out her IG page, @muffintoplux!
