I’ve managed to squeeze in 4 hours of footage into two separate, 35-minute episodes building this city-state’s Chinese quarter. Major cities around the world have some sort of Chinatown in their areas and Republica de Malate is no exception. Located in Southeast Asia, Republica de Malate’s citizens are a mix of Malay, Filipino, Chinese, Spanish […]

A repository of my thoughts, what I capture around me, my consciousness in digital form.
Cities: Skylines – Republica de Malate – Episode 001
I just published the first of a series of videos I’m working on in my free time. I call this Republica de Malate and the setting is a fictional city-state located somewhere in Southeast Asia. I’ve played Cities: Skylines from the day it launched in 2015 and after almost 2000 hours on this game, I […]
Juan Luna St., Binondo, Manila
This man was actually making his way through the crowd while doing some muted strumming that only a fellow musician could recognize from a crowd. I first heard the percussive notes and quickly panned to my left and then found myself right in front of him, took the shot, exchanged smiles and moved on. Juan […]
Shooting street and totally forgetting about the photos.
Looking for opportunities where I can play around with light is always a thing that I’m on the lookout for. Most of the time I’d go out, walk a few kilometers, shoot and not get a single decent photograph. Somewhat disappointed, I’d end up shelving all my files for review at a later time and […]
Quiapo church.
I love how this makes me feel like I am looking at a painting. It’s as if time stood still with every one deciding to pose for a photo. Captured at 1/250 on one bright afternoon back in 2017, this photo was basically shelved and forgotten until I decided to run through my old photos […]
Still house cleaning
There’s a lot to clean up and fix on archondigital.com before I can begin development and migration into a new theme. Today I’ve managed to screw up the comments section by removing Facebook comments (and Disqus) and installing Jetpack, which I intend to keep as my commenting tool probably for the long term. Importing or […]
Almost 2019
“Got a lot on my mind/plate”, seemed to me as the usual excuse I give myself on why I just don’t go ahead and start writing again on this platform. Too much noise, too many distractions, real-life, actual work, etc… and the list goes on and on. These things I keep using as excuses to […]
Updating my neglected blog to WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg
Neglected, not abandoned. Yes, archondigital.com is still very much alive. I’ve been as always, consistently inconsistent with updating content on this for as far as I could remember. A lot of this has to do with me being busy (I’ve given this excuse here numerous times too) but that really is what it is, I […]
Played GTAV when I had nothing to play to test on my livestreaming rig while prepping for a client event.
Just test streaming for an event gigjust test streaming for an event later… what better way to test than to goof around in #GTAV

Life is a blur.
One of those unplanned walks where I end up shooting on my way home after an afternoon of meetings. It was a Friday and I was having a difficult time getting a ride. This photo is part of a self-project/series I am working on called Buhay Jeepney where I take photos of everyday people commuting using […]
