Casualizing with Izza

Episode 15: Childhood Friends with Stephanie Ignacio

(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!

Episode 14: Geeking Out On Forrest Gump with Miko Reyes (Part 2)

(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!

Ep 13: Geeking Out On Forrest Gump with Miko Reyes (Part 1)

(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!

Ep 12: My High School Sweetheart Journey with Jerry Patajo

(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!

Ep 11: Quarantingz recommendations with Gabs Zamoranos

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!
