Have you noticed that when you misplace something and you turn the entire house upside down searching for it, you won’t find it? Then just when you’ve already forgotten about it, or worse, you’ve already bought a replacement, you suddenly stumble across it. Happens to me all the time, that’s why I’ve learned to stop […]
Dakak Park & Beach Resort {Deetour}
Last December 29, Chu, Jefrey, Ruth and I met at the bus station to ride a bus to Dipolog, because we were headed to Dakak, one of the more popular beach resorts in the Philippines. We had breakfast at one of the carinderias before getting into an air conditioned bus, where I discovered that my […]
Home for the Holidays 2006
Home for the holidays again! Okay, so my round trip fare cost me 7,500 bucks, but some of the best things in life actually come with a price. Zenie and I had the same Cebu Pacific flight and there was major chaos in the teeny Domestic airport that even though we got there an hour […]
Lonely at the Top
Lately, thanks to the wonders of compressed DVD’s, I have been able to redicover Ally McBeal episodes. In one episode, there was a case wherein a janitor was petitioning the court to allow the hospital to let him and his bestfriend the CEO exchange hearts. Long story, but what touched me there was when the […]
Hong Kong Stopover {Deetour}
On my last day in Korea, I went to the airport early in the morning and was met there by two office mates who had also been in Korea but I didn’t know about until the previous night. I contacted Anabelle and she told me their connecting flight from Hong kong to the Philippines was 8 hours […]
Solo in Seoul: Winter Sonata {Deetour}
I was up early on Wednesday packing my bag for yet another trip to Korea. The night before, I had fever and the beginnings of a cold, so I couldn’t prepare then. I needed to conduct another training, this time to a bunch of Gillette folks in Seoul. A private car picked me up at home […]
Planting Trees in Hundred Islands {Deetour}
When I found out that Romi Garduce, my officemate who is the third Filipino to climb Mt. Everest, had organized a Mangrove tree planting activity in Hundred Islands in consortium with EcoRescue, I jumped at the chance to do a civic duty and at the same time go out of town. So I emailed Romi […]
Sojourn in Seoul {Deetour}
My road to Korea was definitely NOT easy. First there was all the overtime I spent in the office fulfilling new responsibilities that my new role entailed. Second was the problem with my visa – I was scheduled to leave last Sunday with Mina and Jo but my visa was not released on time. In […]
Work-Life Balance
Eversince I officially changed roles at work this month, I have found myself working overtime everyday. Last Thursday I went home at 11pm and was back in the office at 6:30 am the following day. This is part of the learning curve, I tell myself. I was the one who asked for this role. I […]
Ice Cream for Yen
Yen’s famous line: “I’m sad. I need ice cream.” So on her birthday, we bought five pints (different flavors) of Magnolia ice cream (the most delicious local brand) and surprised her with it at our 10th floor pantry. Happy food = happy birthday. 🙂
