After lunch I read an email announcing that we would be having a “fantastic Thursday” at the pantry at quarter to three. Rodel explained that it is a quarterly event that means we get to have a feast. When we stepped into the pantry, we saw a spread of sandwiches, pastries, yogurt pots, fruits, and […]

Scents and Skin Stuff
Congratulations to me! For the first time in my life, I managed to finish an entire container of lotion or body butter. I’ve never been a lotion person. Since my high school years, Mom kept on buying me lotions and they’d all just gather dust in a corner. But this time, I couldn’t help myself. […]
Somerset Saturday
The movie Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps was the center upon which all our other activities revolved around last Saturday. Since we already made plans to head to town to watch that, we decided to make the most out of being there. We roommates started early by heading to Lucky Plaza for a late lunch at […]
September RSVP Party @ St James Boiler Room
Cate won tickets to this month’s 98.7 RSVP party. It was held at the St. James Boiler Room last Saturday night and it totally rocked. The deejays Shan and Ross were a visual treat, the “muttons to midnight” hilarious. But the ones who stole the show were the Lady Gaga performers and the Filipino standup […]
The Mouseketeers Go “Abroad” to Johor Bahru
During our previous food trip, we came up with a slew of activities that Yves wanted to do before her impending year-long assignment in a yet-to-be-determined other country. “Let’s go do them all, then. Tomorrow, you want?” I joked. “Sure, we can even go abroad if you like,” Arlyn rode on my joke. “Of course […]
Overheard
My friend Randy tagged me in Facebook yesterday because he had seen my name in Chico Garcia’s blog. Haha this was so long ago that I had already forgotten about it. But now that I’ve been reminded about it, I can recall the scene – it happened somewhere in Suntec City Mall. I used to […]
Ghosts
Yesterday, Cate showed me this picture that she had taken of herself using Ervyn’s phone. She said this had been taken while they were whizzing through the closed MRT station near Potong Pasir. The train never stops at this station even though it’s fully functional and the rumor is that it had been closed due […]
I Love Ikea!
Ivy wanted to go out during the weekend, so I suggested Ikea for its tasty and juicy chicken wings. Haha. You’d think it should be for the furniture, but no. She was so excited and told me to invite my friends Gay and Cate as well. Cate couldn’t make it, but Gay was as game […]
In the End I Wanna be Standing at the Beginning with You
The initial plan was just to have frappes in Starbucks (our favorite creme brulee is back!) which somehow ended up with Maya and Gay sleeping overnight in my living room. The next day we ate danggit for breakfast and maggi curry for lunch, played around with my Mac’s photobooth app, recorded a song, shot a […]
Rediscovered Treasures
While it’s true that you don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it, sometimes you don’t realize what you lost until you’ve got it again. Like cable TV. I’ve gotten used to making do with the one English channel on local TV or else searching for TV shows or movies on the internet. I […]
