Get Into Libraries | Last Returns & Goodbyes

08.18.2018 – It has been a week since leaving Adelaide South Australia and spending the past seven days re-adjusting to the most densely populated and inadequate city in the Philippines and if things have become quite a challenge going through navigating from one city to the other you’ll probably won’t even bother to notice it. Last Saturday it was my last trip to Marion Libraries located at the back of Westfield Marion. It was the most frequent time spending to study, read up the latest magazine, and also borrowed DVDs and audio CDs that I have the opportunity to appreciate each of them. From old cancelled TV shows to graphic novels that you’ll probably never see it in your nearest bookshop.

Aus Post | Inside Adelaide's General Post Office

08.11.2018 – Adelaide is a small city compared to the metropolitan areas in Melbourne and Sydney, but for anyone who has not lived in this place is an adventure awaiting for you to discover that you might not see in your home country. The city has the most heritage buildings that you might not notice on your daily tours. One of these heritage buildings is the Australia Post’s general office building located near Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, which is also the structure with a clock tower, and just across that is another heritage building that is the old Treasury Building that is now known as the Adina Apartment Hotels. Both buildings are already historical landmarks, but the Aus Post’s general office building stands out for its design.

Sunday Market | Grayish Weekend Sale

08.06.2018 – Every first Sunday Mornings in South Australia is something to look forward to with Sunday Market, a once-a-month offering seeing random sellers from fresh foodies to antique and random things you don’t often see in retail. It has become sort of a ritual to most that would go out in the field despite the weather it brings. Personally, it’s a welcoming sight to see yard sales and random old things that you don’t normally see everyday. There are some eye catching things that are pretty much impressive to look at. You don’t see this in an Asian country like the Philippines or any non-Western region to have such interesting things to see.

Around Adelaide | Shin Tokyo

08.03.2018 - Adelaide may be considered a ‘sleepy’ and quaint town, but in the bigger picture as a state itself South Australia is a place for exploration. Every single day I pass by Rundle Mall there’s always something new to see even throughout the winter season and you never go wrong about being into a hobby of collectibles. Shin Tokyo is one of a very few stores that carries import products from Japan and some collectibles from the US not sold on Australian retail market. But their bread and butter are the Japanese products ranging from Bandai’s ever popular Gunpla to popular Japanese anime series and OVAs just to name a few to see in this store.

Cove Civic Centre | Marion Libraries

07.02.2018 – Libraries are essential to every community and in South Australia every suburb has it. In the City of Marion, there are three libraries that support this endeavor of learning and reading for children as well as adults too. I spent most the time at the Marion Library located at the back of Westfield Marion just opposite Bunnings Warehouse since its close where I reside. But never have the chance to explore the other three libraries not until yesterday when a friend offered to drive up to Hallett Cove to accompany him to assisting in search for car parts. Of course, I had to oblige to save up taking Adelaide Metro on a Saturday morning. It was also good timing to visit another friend who organized a photography workshop as the Cove Civic Centre that day too.

State Heritage | Brighton Civic Centre

06.05.2018 – There are certain things “Nostalgia” can’t replace by just reminiscing it, but having a piece of that still physically existing at the same time it is still well-maintained by those who make sure “History is Alive,” In Australia, it is very important that something lie buildings or a structure that’s been around could be considered a State Heritage Listed for its significance in that particular place. If you are always someone who drives off along Jetty Road before ending up soaking up waves of Brighton Beach there’s an intersection you will find an Art Deco-style building in white that has been completely covered up that very familiar from this area would know the story behind it, which is the familiar Brighton Civic Centre.

Bunnings Trade Expo | One-Stop Event

05.24.2018 – Bunnings Warehouse is a well-known Household Hardware chain that has been around since 1887, but only expanded its branches in the 1990s. It's currently the go-to place for anything that you plan for you DIY (Do It Yourself). The company has branches all over Australia, New Zealand, UK, and Ireland. Its one of the biggest hardware stores in Australia that whenever you think of buying something for the house like lightbulb replacement or need to fix a doorknob that a drive to Bunnings is the next best thing. They also have an event called Bunnings Expo a mini tradeshow held annually.

South Australian Museum | Museum Day

05.21.2018 – Yesterday was International Museum Day, were they are open without the need to pay for entry. I’ve been going to this annual event just to look around and see the undiscovered culture that you may not find it in books or have not seen it in person to have the chance to learn about history. This probably the first time I’ll be sort of celebrating this event in South Australia. I’ve been going to “Museum Day” in Ayala Museum for the past three years, but for this year I head down to the South Australian Museum in downtown Adelaide.

ExiMax Premiere Night | Deadpool 2

05.17.2018 – The sequel for Deadpool has started screening in other parts of the region, but for South Australians they get the first glimpse of ‘The Merc with the Mouth” last night as Palace Nova organized a premiere night screening for the fans who read the book and seen the original film. In this cold autumn night revelry of support was in the air for those who trooped to the Palace Nova at Eastend. You can say a ’hole in the wall’ kind of movie theatre at the heart of downtown Adelaide that has been around to cater fans to catch up on the latest flicks and Deadpool is not exceptional as one of the must-anticipated movies for this year is certainly worth watching this week.

Adelaide Life | Happenings Downtown

05.04.2018 – Another weekend is about to wrap up, and it was quite the busiest as the weather slowly get cold while still an autumn season. Before you know it, A LOT has happened these past few days that you can’t get to be part of. There are many events happening this weekend and you can’t be all over the place despite they’re within that time is of the essence that you have to make it count. Friday is here, and the early mornings are always a hustle getting from one bus stop to the other to get to the other side passing through downtown. For some, this is crazy comminute though not taking things for granted that it is basically smoother compared to other developing countries that have to deal with excruciating ordeal every day.

TAFE SA Hair & Beauty | Cheap Cuts

02.28.2018 – If you’re a student in South Australia taking up International course chances are you may be tight with the budget. Usually, for Internationals there’s a challenge for saving up as daily expenses around the City of Adelaide which also have its preference. But sometimes being a student has its own advantages that keep things interesting in this state territory part of Australia. For those who have plans to take up a course which leads you to a pathway as part of a lifelong experience to establish and grow your career it is also here you’ll find some of the courses that in-demand at TAFE South Australia. Namely, Hair & Beauty which if you don't believe has a demand in Adelaide seeing how hair salons have started expanding around this part of the region.

Sunday Market | The Summer Breeze

02.05.2018 – There’s nothing like an early morning stroll around the suburbs and ending up in the Marion Oval, where you can see the monthly Sunday Market happens. The weather was fine and dandy on a summer’s day and it was clear blue skies all the way. Rarely, you’ll ever experience this happening each month but it sure is a place to just see people and interact with them. Each month’s Sunday Market brings something new to the eyes. But the usual theme is the fresh food and the antique finds that you’ll get a neat bargain if you got that interest for. Sunday’s the family gatherings but for today it’s a stroll to the market, and seeing some neat stuff is a sure dig through the tables and pathways that is also meeting up with new people around.

Cars & Coffee Blackwood | Morning Meet-Up

01.29.2018 – The car culture in South Australia is alive and thriving. If you’re into cars and anything that propel you to point A to B chances are you attend local car shows or private car meets in your country. Of course, the car meets in South Australia is interactive with their owners and enthusiasts sharing their stories. There have been several car meets organized by passionate gearheads all over the state and each of these events are sometimes specifically themed to the brand or from the era, and sometimes from its country of origin. There have been quite a few stories here and there. But the most I’ve been was the Cars & Coffee at Blackwood.

Adelaide Life | Weekend Trip to Port Hughes

01.28.2018 – The Long Weekends became just a blur now with so many things happening all at once. The summer break wasn’t that intense if you want to know how the extreme weather factors in compared to last year. There’s so many things to express how things now going on probably a third year living overseas. I’m already way too familiar with the end of Friday as considered ‘Australia Day’ since the first visit as a tourist in 2013, and I used to work in a BPO company almost a decade ago that handled an Australian company that I never expected ending here physically was possible. The culture and currents events opened a perspective too.
