The Long Drive Playlist

Simulan natin ito muli

I am joined by my good friend turned content creator Jet Tactical. He is an advocate of prepping, gun ownership, gun safety, and overall being ready for any situation. We discuss what it takes to become a prepper, how gun ownership is viewed in the Philippines, and how every video made is, in his words, comes from love. 

During my off days, I also tried stand-up comedy, albeit online. With the comedy bug infecting me, I sought out like minded individuals that wanted to try it out in the city of Naga in Camarines Sur. In this podcast I'm joined by my comedy buddy Rey, a local comic that through coordination we found a venue to try live stand-up comedy in the heart of the Bicol region.  This podcast was also edited by Khryss Aranas (https://www.facebook.com/khryssaranas) a local musician and also a new found friend of mine in music and comedy.  

Thanks to Caffeineight (https://www.facebook.com/caffeineight) for becoming the revived home of stand up observational comedy in the Bicol region.  Artwork is from Caffeineight, with special thanks to the owner Rombit!

I am joined by my good friend and mentor and now ordained priest Fr. Marlon B. Vargas SVD. Sir Marlon was my class adviser during my first year of high school, and we kept in touch over the last 15 years. He now has a book titled "The Roudabouts of Life" available on his Facebook profile. 

We talk about his journey from being a full time professional teacher, to receiving his "call" at 30 years old. We delve into what the modern day priest has to go through, the sacrifices it entails, and why priests always ask for prayers from their constituents. 

I "sit" down with one of my favorite local Filipino comedians, Victor Anastacio. We converse on our similar origins from being educated at an all boys catholic school, up to our culture shock of entering a co-ed college. Join us in this very light conversation on how Vic got his start and how he decided to pursue comedy full-time, and now being a headliner with 15 years of laughter and hilarity under his belt. Enjoy!

Vic will also be doing his 2nd show at Teatrino, Greehills on June 25, 2022. Don't miss the opportunity to laugh your balls off!

Reading one book a month for 2022. Let's see what I read so far. 

Bilis masyado ng oras, hinay hinay lang time.

Attended mass live for the 1st time in 2 years alone. Lots of feelings and reflection on Catholic education, formative years, and what is actually a personal relationship with your personal diety. 

Processing the recent elections of the republic. We might be in the darkest timeline?
