Stop calling it another name: It’s ‘Boracay’, and not ‘Bora’

By Marron Santillan on Monday, September 14, 2020

We use abbreviation mostly to shortened a word or simply to squeeze a lot of writing into a small space. And perhaps it is cute to call anything with cute nicknames; Like “Elyu” for the surf town La Union. And “Chris” for Christopher.

By Marron Santillan on Sunday, August 23, 2020

I was talking to my friend Jerome over Facebook Messenger last week asking him the Instagram username of the owner of the hostel that we stayed in Lombok, Indonesia. I said I needed to ask some questions because their website seems down at that moment.
