Casualizing with Izza

(phone call!) Join me and my childhood bestie, Steph Ignacio, as we reminisce on sweaty afternoons and embarrassing Christmas parties when we were kids. In this episode, we also talk about plants, journaling, and our reflections on growth in friendships. This one's a very wholesome and pure episode. There were some points where we couldn't hear each other that well, so sorry about that! I hope you guys enjoy!

(via Facebook Messenger!) Another Forrest Gump episode with Miko Reyes! If you haven't already, make sure to listen to the previous episode for the first part on this topic. In this episode, we talked about the latter parts of the film, our overall thoughts on it, our thoughts on Jenny's infamy in pop culture, and our favorite Forrest Gump scenes. We also discussed our thoughts on people calling Forrest a simp, among other things. There will definitely be a bonus episode on some good stuff I had to cut out, so look out for that! This is probably the longest episode on this podcast (so far) but I still hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it!

(via Facebook Messenger!) RUN FORREST RUN! This episode is the first of 2 episodes about me and Miko's favorite movie, Forrest Gump. We love it so much that we could talk for HOURS about it. And that we did. For Part 1, we sort of did a play by play on the movie and gave our thoughts along the way. It's sort of a movie review? But I think it's more of a film appreciation, because we are biased towards it. Expect a lot of SPOILERS, if you haven't watched it yet! Hope you guys enjoy!

(via Facebook Messenger!) Hello I'm back! Puppy love can be cute, but my experience was EMBARRASSING. In this episode, I talk to my high school “sweetheart” Jerry Patajo! Jerry and I have been through so many awkward moments together and on this episode, we want you to cringe with us as we talk about our past selves. From our review classes for college entrance exams, to our senior ball, to Batch Bora(?!), we'll talk you through the mortifying start of our beautiful friendship. We barely scratched the surface on this topic so if you want more, keep on listening to Casualizing with Izza, and maybe we'll do a part 2?? This episode with Jerry was recorded back in May by the way, sorry it took so long to edit and release! Hope you guys enjoy nonetheless!

Looking for some random recommendations fof the remainder of this quarantine? Well, look no further! On this episode of Casualizing, my brother and I talk about things we've been loving during this period. This is my first actual conversing-in-front-of-each-other type of episode, so the quality should be a little bit (hopefully) bether. I was a little bit rusty on this because I haven't been recording before this episode. I also made the mistake of saying this was going to be posted last Tuesday, on International Dance Day (29th), also on my friend's birthday (today). My sense of time is messed up nowadays, sorry! Anyway, regular posting will begin again soon!

(via Facebook Messenger!) Some situations are sometimes better when you're inside a car. In this episode, Lex and I talk about some of those situation, mixed in with our own experiences. From hanging out with a crush to breaking up with your significant other, as long as it happened inside a car, this episode has it covered. (Barely.) Apologies for the delayed publishing, and I hope you enjoy this episode of Casualizing!

(via Facebook Messenger Call!) WHAT A JUICY EPISODE! I'm joined with Gian Fausto in this episode of Casualizing where we talked about some of the drinking places in the Katipunan area, where our university is located. We wanted to talk about what they would be like as people. We had so much fun doing this game, and that's why I think this is one of the longer episodes of this podcast. We had to cut some parts out but ohhhh booooy this episode's still pretty juicy! I hope you enjoy this episode of Casualizing with Izza!

(via Facebook Messenger Call!) Just some 20-something girls, who looove skincare and makeup. With me on this episode is my college bestie (*vomits*), Mandee Clemente, a freelance makeup artist. Join us as we go through our routines, give you our tips and tricks, and list down some of our product recommendations. This episode is not just for skincare and makeup junkies––anyone can listen in and enjoy the show!

(via Discord) Greetings listeners!! Red, one of my closest friends in college, is our guest in this episode of Casualizing. Brace yourselves because this episode was full of laughs and dumb fun. My tummy hurt so much when I was editing this episode! I had to pause every minute just to get the giggles out. Red and I did this over Discord, so the audio quality's extra bad this week. Sorry ‘bout that! Ok, enough with the apologizing. Go ahead and listen to this episode of Casualizing with Izza (that's me)

(Facebook Messenger Call!) On this episode of Casualizing, I asked my friend Chino to bring in his top 5 Rom Com favorites. We both love rom coms so we had a lot to say about them. If you don't want to hear spoilers on specific rom coms, maybe just skip a few seconds?? Most of the movies we mentioned are relatively older anyway (just like Chino). I know you're probably sick of me apologizing because of the audio quality, but I'm gonna do it anyway! Sorry, this is the best I could do given the circumstances. I hope you guys enjoy this episode still!

(Facebook Messenger Call!) WELL, this episode was a hot mess. This is our longest so far! We had Thirdy and Ardy come over and they had a lot to say about our friendship. I love these guys and this episode was definitely fun to make (there's a lot of laughs and giggles on this track, I hope that's ok!). We also had to cut a bunch of stories out because it would've been a long ass podcast. I hope you guys enjoy this episode despite the numerous technical difficulties that we encountered (excuse the especially horrible audio on my end)! Happy April Fool's Day!

(via Discord!) On this episode, I spoke with Isaac De Vera, another close friend of mine, about how the quarantine affected a lot of what we were looking forward to, especially being in our senior year of college. We also reminisced about the moments that we didn't think would be our last before the quarantine took effect. I hope you guys enjoy this episode, and again I apologize for the audio quality! Stay safe and wash your hands.

(Facebook Messenger Call) For this episode, I asked one of my best friends, Andy Pavia, to share her experiences with loving her lord and savior, Harry Styles. We unearthed some reeeeaaal cringeworthy high school memories here. Besides our shared love for One Direction, we also talked about how our music tastes evolved over the years. This was really fun for me to record because I forgot a lot about what we used to do (spoiler alert: it involves role playing) and we were honestly so dumb. Again, because of the pandemic, we did this over a call so please excuse the audio quality. Enjoy this episode of What's up with Izza!

(Facebook Messenger Call) This week, I called Tim Acosta to talk about Subtle Clown Traits and some clowning of our own. Not as cringey as I expected it to be! There's a lot of laughs here and there, because of our topic hehe so I hope you guys enjoy this episode. Again, we did this over a call so please excuse the audio quality!

(Facetime Call!) On this week's podcast, Cara and I talk about our crushes and how fun it is to develop a crush on someone. We did this podcast through Facetime because of the recent outbreak, so please excuse the quality and some of the audio delays!
