Maya just wanted to eat fondue and the next thing you know, we had a potluck picnic planned. There was no occasion. Or maybe it was halloween. Or an “eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die” event before our month end closing. Fondue – the one that started it all Canadian Pizza Canadian Pizza […]

Halloweeny Monthend
It was a fun halloween at the office, a nice respite during monthend madness. A decorations contest was held and here is what we came up with in our department (and so very last minute). We were supposed to come up with a Mafia theme, hence the posters. It got all mixed up with other […]
A Mini Feast
Ervyn’s grandmother, mother and sister are in Singapore for a vacation. On their last night here (tonight), they decided to have a cookout and invited our common friends for a feast. I’m glad we had a light workload today and I got to home early, as opposed to last night when I left the office […]
From Sapphire, Mt Faber to Azzura Beach Bar
Yves invited her Singapore-based close friends to celebrate her birthday with her last Saturday at Sapphire in Jewel Box at Mt Faber. It’s a restaurant located at the top of a mountain so it has a breathtaking view. We were just supposed to have snacks that ended up in dinner. The food was good, but a […]
Eat Pray Love {Movie Review}
Ivy invited me to watch Eat Pray Love last week so I enthusiastically agreed and dragged Gay along. I don’t have the time to write down the story (sometimes I’m lazy like that), so here is the official synopsis: Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having – a […]
Fancy Feet
I finally got to wear those boots I bought from Forever 21. Didn’t really plan on it, but as usual I was running late and wore the first things I got my hands on and I thought hmmm, I think boots would be the perfect thing to top – or bottom off – the entire […]
It’s Not Malaria
Update on my dad’s malaria episode. He was flown to Maputo where there are better facilities and he can get better care. He realized it probably wasn’t a good idea to stay at home when you’re sneezing blood all over the place and throwing up everything you eat. Sorry for the visual; it’s making me […]
Happy Fiesta Pilar!
Today is my hometown’s Fiesta Pilar. It’s not as festive as the ones in other cities, actually. We just usually spend it eating in other people’s houses, when we’re invited, of course. My most memorable one was back in first year college when our PE teacher required us to dance for a street parade. We […]
Food I Don’t Like
I always write about food I like that I probably seem to eat everything, but I can be a picky eater. Here’s a list of food I can’t stand. I’m sure there are those who love them but we all have different tastes. Case in point – I love liver but I know lots of […]
Cyber-Inuman
Amusing experience last night. It was around 2am already but I was still up booking flights at the Cebu Pacific 10-10-10 sale. The site was so slow, probably because everyone else was up like me and booking flights like crazy and bogging their server down, so while waiting for my bookings to be confirmed, I […]
