On day 2 of our stay in Singapore, Monette, Tyne’s roommate, cooked spaghetti for us, and we had it for lunch at their place. Then it was back to Lucky Plaza, where they sent their remittances for their families back home, before we headed on our amazing race. We call it amazing race because we […]
Singapore Saga Day 1
When I first came to Makati, I had only one trolley with me. Four years later, I have to throw out ~10 large garbage bags, leave two trolley-fulls in my hometown, and still have 10 kilos of excess baggage upon checking in for my flight to Singapore. Cate and I gave bread sticks and biscocho […]
Feather Duster
When I went home, my mom introduced me to the newest member of the household – the five-month-old bundle of fur (and fleas) named Maningning. She looks like a feather duster to me! Later, my brother comes up with the idea of a family picture with our family of dogs (Maningning with her Ma and […]

On April 14, 2005, my life changed forever. It was the day that I held in my hand a 3-page letter that told me, in no uncertain terms, that one of my dreams had come true. The letter said, “It is with great pleasure that I formalize our offer for employment with P&G Asia as […]
Touched by the Unexpected
I know, I know, I should stop writing goodbye blogs. But I just had this touching moment today. I was busy filling up my departure checklist at my desk when my new teammate looked over my shoulder and asked if I was really leaving. As she is new, we are not really friends yet, and […]
Mafia Shoot
I took my pictorial fetish to the next level when I signed up for my photographer friend Darrel’s washday photo project. The theme was “mafia” and I was made up and accessorized to look like a diva who happens to be a suspected murderer. Darz was a dream photographer who did not just say “ready […]
