Two Saturdays ago, I attended a baby shower for my friend Nikki’s sister Balot (that’s her nickname). It was held in Pasir Ris park. It rained on them while I was on my way there, so the poor guys got wet even though they took shelter under a small roofed hut because the winds were […]

Lotus Speculoos Cookie Butter with Chocolate {Foodee}
This is it, guys. I’ve found THE ONE. It wasn’t something that I had to think about. From the first moment, I knew. It was love at first bite. Lotus speculoos au choco, will you marry me???? I have never had a favorite bread spread before. Well, sure, I’d buy peanut butter and eat it […]
Interpretative Dance
If all goes according to plan, right about now I should be celebrating my friend Caloy’s birthday with our other friends, my former colleagues from P&G, in Makati.

Yesterday, I was blitzed! Let me explain. DL Hammons of Cruising Altitude 2.0 had a thought: What would it be like if the support, encouraging nature, and community spirit of the blogosphere were ever focused on a single blogger? What would it feel like to be the recipient of that kind of exposure? Could something […]
Mischief Managed
It’s my younger brother Ivan’s birthday today, so I would like to share a childhood moment that I had with him. I can’t remember what age we were then, but one day, our dad (it was probably him, since Mom takes bad photos; she always ended up cutting off people’s heads in the picture) said, […]
3 Months of Blog
Guess what? I blogged every day for March, April and June! That’s three months! 😀 3 months of doing this daily I’ve been blogging for more than 8 years and that’s the first time that’s happened. This year is the first time I’ve ever even blogged daily through one month. And to think I started […]
