Last Saturday, we held a surprise party for three people for three different occasions. Each one of them came to the party thinking that it was a belated birthday celebration for Cate, but it actually wasn’t. We had some activities planned for the party but before we did all that, first things first… TIME TO […]

Retailing Relationships
Sometimes when I’m out with fellow single girl friends, we eventually get round to the topic of our love lives. Or to be more correct, the lack thereof. Now the thing is, you can make plans about almost all things in your life – career, purchases, travels – but the one thing you can’t make […]
Queen of Quotable Quotes
Back in the Philippines, forwarded text messages were (or still are?) a thing. They’re like forwarded emails but shorter, so they’re usually jokes or “quotes,” like this one: I was finally getting over you I had crushes other than you I walked around with my head high, thinking I wouldn’t fall But then you smiled […]
Peer Pressure
“I’m going home next month,” a friend of mine announced some time ago. “Ugh.” Well that wasn’t the typical reaction of an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) about going home, so we asked her why she didn’t seem happy about it. “I’m dreading it,” she explained, her unhappiness etched on her face, “because it will be […]

I knew she didn’t participate in it […]
Memorable Makati
Last month was the 10th anniversary of our college graduation. Our batch valedictorian Ronald greeted us “Hi Guys! Happy 10th year!” in our long-silent Facebook group. There was a flurry of responses to this, in the midst of which this conversation got inserted: Chu: On a related topic – for the housemates of Bahay ni […]
[CLOSED] Kith Cafe @ Sentosa Cove {Foodee}
Last Saturday found me having brunch with my friends Betchie, Arlyn and Maribeth. It was Betchie’s suggestion to try out Kith Cafe at their new branch in Sentosa Cove’s Quayside Isle. They don’t accept reservations so we decided to just head on over there and hope it wasn’t crowded. We met up in Vivo City […]

Keepsakes and Knick Knacks
Last year for my friend Flisha’s 30th birthday, I wrote this on the card I sent her: So I decided to go old school and send you an actual card for your 30th. How many of these things do you get these days, right? They’ve become so rare that maybe someday they’d be obsolete that […]
