I was listening to an episode of The Moth podcast called Radio Hour: Brand New YOU and at around the 07:38 mark is an amusing story of a girl named Kristin Lawlor who, when she was 28, discovered to her dismay that she was “the only single girl in New York.” All her friends were […]

Bbq Han Cook @ Whampoa {Foodee}
After our daycation at Kerry, May’s hubby Mico joined us for dinner at Bbq Han Cook. We didn’t immediately find it, though. We just knew we wanted to have Korean barbecue, so we wandered around the Whampoa area to look for one. We came across this interesting mall which looks like a ship. At first […]
Daycation @ Kerry Hotel
No I did not invent that word, that’s actually the term used by Kerry Hotel. What it means is you can stay for the day but not overnight, which is when it becomes a staycation. My friend May and I decided to book a daycation slot which includes pool day pass and set lunch for […]
Nutrition Kitchen {Foodee}
I hate cooking and washing up afterwards, so I decided to sign up for daily food delivery from Nutrition Kitchen, which is more affordable than others I’ve seen in Hong Kong. At first I signed up for a week just to test the food and also I wasn’t sure how early they would deliver the […]
Motorino Pizza {Foodee}
Some colleagues recently ordered Motorino pizzas for a department celebration in the pantry and a colleague saw them and informed me that if I love pizza, I should try those. Pizzas happen to be my fave food, so over the weekend, I gave it a try. They are not on any of the food delivery […]
Mina Dev’ Wil Hair Dressing {Review}
The weather is suddenly so hot lately that I can’t stand it. So I decided I needed to get a haircut and booked a cut and colour session at Mina Dev’ Wil Hair Dressing salon at Central. I discovered this salon last time when I was searching for a reasonably priced hair salon and its […]
How to Make Friends in Hong Kong Through Internations
About Last Night Last night, I wanted to celebrate my anniversary in Hong Kong and invited some friends to go out. Michele suggested Frank’s at Lan Kwai Fong, and we met up at around 9pm. Jacky and I showed up first, and we made our way into the noisy bar filled with dancing people. “Let […]
One Year in Hong Kong
A year and a day ago from today, I moved to Hong Kong. Okay technically it was on the 12th of May but it was just a few minutes shy of midnight so I could probably consider the 13th as the official anniversary, so to speak. Here’s a picture of me showing the clunky wrist […]
My Podcasting Routine
As you probably already know, I started a podcast with my friend Rey (aka Nantoy) last year, due to pandemic boredom. It ended up saving my mental health because lockdown loneliness really screwed me up. Oh, you didn’t know I had a podcast? It’s called Banana Q: a Filipino-Flavored Podcast and I’d really be grateful […]
Burga iPhone Case {Review}
When Apple announced that they were releasing the latest iPhone 12 in the colour purple, a lot of friends separately messaged me about it. Purple is my favourite colour and I’m very obvious about that, so my friends usually know this. Unfortunately I had already bought the iPhone 12 last year. Why wasn’t that colour […]
