After we got back to Singapore from Phuket, Drew and Kes had two days to spend in Singapore. They were both not first time visitors here, so we decided not to take them to the usual touristy places like Sentosa. Since they’re both shopaholics, we decided to spend one day in Orchard. We started by […]

Makeup Class with Beauty Tips
Yesterday found Maya and me in SMU College of Accountancy attending a makeup class – a literal one – an introductory makeup course that we found on Groupon months ago. It was fun to be back in an Accountancy classroom after almost a decade (gah I am old!). We were late because I had gotten […]
A Study in Purple
BBC Sherlock’s first episode is called “A Study in Pink” and it involves a dead woman with a pink suitcase. A Study in Pink Well today, I just couldn’t resist. A Study in Purple The trench coat, the scarf, the cheekbones, the thinking pose – all Sherlock. I need help. P.S. Do you like my […]
Mockingjay Necklace
I wanted a mockingjay pin (from the book/movie Hunger Games) of my own and I knew exactly where I’d find one – at Popcorn Pop Movie Memorabilia Specialist, a shop in the second floor of Esplanade. Years ago this was where I bought a “love” keychain from the movie Sex and the City. So when […]
Wicked and Pizzeria Mozza
Drew and Kes flew in to Singapore on April 19 and on their first night in, we all had dinner at Gelle’s home. Joey cooked adobo and it was so good, we ended up eating way too much. A picture with our adobo chef. Looky, I’m in the pic too! Joey’s sumptuous adobo The next […]
American Pie Reunion
American Pie Reunion is not normally the type of movie I would go to the cinema for, but it holds significance for me in that thirteen years ago, I watched part 1 with a few classmates and that was how we ended up being friends. We were college freshmen then, one year shy of being […]
The Best Gym
…is outdoors. Somehow jogging on a machine while inside an airconditioned room does not make me as happy as when I’m jogging outdoors, especially when it’s in a beautiful park. The end of each session never fails to make me happy, and though I know endorphins brought about by exercise may have contributed to that, […]
No Prince Charming
This morning: Cabbie: Are you married? Me: No. Cabbie: Why? No prince charming? Me: Yes. Cabbie: Why? Me: He’s still a frog.
Easter Feast
Today is Easter Sunday, and to celebrate that, Yves planned a feast, asking her friends if they wanted to join and contribute in an order of lechon de leche (roast suckling pig), pancit and kare-kare which she ordered from GP Asian Restaurant, a Filipino restaurant in Lucky Plaza. Arlyn and I were late for the […]
Marmalade Pantry, Etc @ Ion Orchard
Gelle and I set a date so we could discuss our itinerary for our upcoming Phuket trip with our P&G friends Kes and Drew. She told me to meet me in Marmalade Pantry. I had never heard of the place before, so I was completely clueless as to what to expect. I loved the cozy […]
