P&G is expanding so much that we needed to lease a new floor in Petron Building. We got the 11th floor and our group, AP, moved to the brand new floor yesterday. My new desk sits directly in front of the main door so that everyone who goes in through our side will see me […]

Long Distance DNA
My roommate Gay informed me that she has a boyfriend again. The lucky guy is her high school classmate who has been sweet on her since back when her dad strictly enforced the ‘no boyfriend while you’re still in school’ rule. While I have faith in childhood (or high school) sweethearts because I think their […]
Endless Love: Spring Waltz
As if I don’t get enough Korean exposure at work (my AP market is Korea and I deal with Koreans everyday), I get my dose of Korean kilig on Monday to Thursday nights right before I sleep by watching Spring Waltz on ABS-CBN. Call me corny, but I’m a sucker for kilig moments. My favorite […]
Ferdie and Jo’s Wedding
My former teammate Jo got married to Ferdie last Sunday, January 20. Both wedding and reception were held in Quezon City. It was a great wedding, and I especially loved the giveaways – miniature wedding cakes! posing with the bride in the bridal car in the Philippines, the trend is for both parents to give […]
Gelle’s Birthday Surp
Gelle, one of my best friends in P&G, turned a year older today. Last year we had cooked up a surprise for her — I planned a videoke session and secretly invited her boyfriend Joey to join us. Unfortunately, while discussing it over lunch, Liza slipped and said, “Anubah, eh akala ko nga surp-” and […]
Jo’s Bridal Shower
My former teammate Jo is getting married on the 20th, so we threw a bridal shower for her last Friday. There was a naughty cake, fun games, performances by three “macho dancers” (who turned out to be Jo’s team leader’s hubby, her teammate’s boyfriend, and her own fiancee), a naughty video and lots of food. […]
Santa Cruz Island {Deetour}
On the morning of December 29, a Saturday, I was the earliest one in Lantaka hotel, our designated meeting place. Of the 16 who confirmed, only ten made it – me, Raquel, Ja, Ira, AJ, Pei, Aeneas, Jotie, Brian and Shane, Brian’s friend, and we rode one small boat along with a tourism police – […]
La Maison + Cafe Breton in Greenbelt 5
Kes was in Manila again, so we had a reunion dinner last Friday at La Maison, a restaurant in Greenbelt 5. It was my first time to Greenbelt 5 and boy, did I fall in love with the place. Such beautiful designs! I also loved the food in La Maison. The seafood platter we ordered […]

My Top 10 Must Try’s in ZC (not in order): 1. Morning Sun’s or Jimmy’s Satti 2. Antonio’s butong pie 3. Manang Terry’s chicken inato 4. Marinated bangus 5. Curacha (a kind of giant crab) with Alavar’s sauce 6. Cheap seafood (try kilawin, it’s my ultimate favorite dish) 7. Master Baker’s super cheese bread and […]
A Personal Chef
My friend Neil asked me to buy some Alavar sauce for him when he found out that I was going home for the holidays. Then I went to Ateneo de Manila University to deliver it to him, because he’s a professor there and that’s where he lives. He met me at the Araneta center and […]
