This afternoon, Cate and I met a new acquaintance who asked us if we were sisters. It’s a question we get asked a lot, actually, from Thais to Singaporeans to Filipinos. So I thought about taking a picture of us together using my laptop’s Photobooth to blog about it. And that was how it started, […]

The Early Bird Catches the Promo Fares
Yesterday, I got this in my email: Keso’s wedding in Manila, where I am to be bridesmaid, is inclusive of those dates, so I decided to visit their site and buy myself tickets. I knew it was going to be difficult because based on previous experiences, the site has a tendency to be be really […]
Meant to Know Each Other
Over lunch today, Yves and I discovered that we had been teammates in P&G’s 2005 teambuilding held in Subic. We had crossed paths and didn’t even know (or remember) each other. This is definitely proof that we had always been meant to be acquainted. different teams wore different color hawaiian pants I wore blue Yves […]
The Ramen Girls
I met the “ramen girls” for lunch at our favorite ramen place for lunch – Marutama Ra-men. It serves the best-tasting ramen and seasoned egg I have ever had. It was raining – the perfect weather for ramen. It also meant that we had to ride a cab from UE Square to Liang Court even […]
Saved from Geocities
Geocities is closing. The end of an era. I wonder if there will come a time that Blogspot will, too? God I hope not. Anyway, I never had a Geocities site, but my friend Flisha did. I remember how zip.to/flisha was one of the sites I always visited whenever I had a chance to rent […]
My Best Achievements
Yves posted her individual pics on the “red carpet” with each of her guests and painstakingly wrote a caption explaining how she knew each one. Below is mine: Heidee:H! I have a lot of things to say. Wait..ill be right back..naiiyak ako eh..mag ‘session’ muna ako..haha!You are an epitome of “cool-ness”. You are a person […]
Under My Umbrella
I forgot my umbrella in Church today. Argh. I wish it’d still be at the umbrella rack when I go back next Sunday. I’m too lazy to go back right now and it’s too pretty for me to let it go just like that. If I don’t find it, I would probably buy a new […]
Gleek Phase
I love Glee. That makes me a “gleek” – the term they coined for Glee geeks. Glee got to me when I watched the first episode and Will resigned from teaching to be an accountant because he needed to provide for his family and Emma countered with, “But provide what, exactly? The understanding that money […]
Yves’s XXX: A Limited Engagement
Yves turned thirty today, and she threw a celebration at her condo’s function hall. Aside from being her makeup artist, I was also in charge of the program, making the audio-visual presentations, and being one of two hosts. I made two videos using iMovie. The first one is a compilation of pictures from Yves’s childhood […]
Facebook Overload
I read this article about Facebook Addiction. It says that psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage “overtakes” daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the […]
