On my second day in Metro Manila, I attended two 30th birthday celebrations of two friends, both former colleagues of mine in P&G. Jerome’s was over lunch at Mesa, while Caloy’s was over dinner at Beso. Yeah, I know, the names of the restaurant have similar letters, so funny, right? In case you’re wondering why […]

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson (Book Review)
I’ve been feeling guilty lately because I haven’t been reading books. There are just so many things to do, so many other forms of distraction, that I find myself unable to finish any of the books I start reading. Or so I thought. Turns out, all I needed was a book that would hook me, […]
St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub
The secret to having “no pores” skin: I’ve been using this for 10 years. I first came across this product when I lived in Manila to review for my board exam. Ever since then, people have been praising my skin… strangers, friends, friends’ mothers. Some of my most amusing encounters: – A colleague gets into […]
Jerome’s 30th Birthday @ Mesa {Foodee}
I met up with my friends, my P&G batch mates, to celebrate Jerome’s 30th birthday over lunch at Mesa in Greenbelt 5, Makati City. It was my first time to try the place but I had heard that it was popular, so I was excited to try it. I was the last one to arrive […]
Krazy Garlik @ Greenbelt 5 {Foodee}
On my first day in Metro Manila, I met up with my college friends Flisha {Random Detox} and Jefrey. We were supposed to have dinner in Kanin Club at the Ayala Triangle in Makati City but the queue was so long (“Still? It’s been two years!”) that we decided to look for another place in […]
Haze Craze
I’m finally back in Singapore, where the latest thing is the haze. While I was away, forests were burned in Indonesia and it got so out of hand that it caused its neighboring country’s skies to be shrouded in smog so bad that it registered up to an unhealthy PSI level of 400. Healthy level […]
Fat Flush Water
This is my friend Nikki. What is that? You ask? That was exactly what each one of us asked the moment we laid eyes on that strange colorful thing she brought to lunch one day. “It’s fat flush water,” she explained. “My friend drank this for ten days and lost weight.” “You’ll drink only that […]
Mad Jack Cafe {Foodee}
Our company has a corporate account from Mad Jack, so we often order dinner there when we have to go on OT. My favorite order is the swan river chick. No it’s not a real swan, though we did wonder if it was at one point because of the size of the chicken leg which […]
Flowerfluff Girls
Out of sheer coincidence, Dred, Jems and I wore the same outfits to Balot’s baby shower – floral rompers. And thus, the flowerfluff girls were born! 😀 Deedee, commander and the leader Mildred, she is the joy and the laughter Jemma, she is the toughest fighter Flowerfluff will save the day Fighting crime, Trying to […]
Eggs and Berries {Foodee}
On Nantoy’s last week at work, we decided to have one last lunch out. We picked a Wednesday when everyone was not too busy. We headed to the nearby Changi City Point mall and upon Mildred’s suggestion, had lunch at Eggs and Berries. They didn’t have a table big enough for all of us inside, […]
