Milenyo Moments: a Typhoon Story

by

Last September 27, typhoon Milenyo hit Metro Manila and hit it hard. For the first time since I’ve lived here, I could not go to work because early in the morning, the flood had reached our door. Then the lights went out and since we were stuck in a dark house with nothing else to […]

24

by

I turned 24 a couple of weeks ago. My office friends gave me a cake, a video, and some messages. They said they didn’t know how to make a blog for the messages which is what I usually do for their birthdays, so Drew just emailed them in different colored fonts. Haha! Happy Birthday Heids! […]

Deja Vu High School Reunion

by

I notice a pattern here. Everytime I see Flisha, I also see Rey and Jerome within that same week or so. Like last time. And now. Last Saturday I went to meet Flisha in SM Makati. She was apparently in Manila for some sort of seminar, so I took this opportunity to give her birthday […]

So I booked a one-bedroom condo in Millennium Plaza Hotels for Friday night and told the gang to be there then. But the night before that, Gelle and I started singing “Lost in Your […]

The Spotlight

by

Thom, our P2P rockstar, was talking to me last Sunday about how nice it felt when he sang onstage and everybody was screaming his name. Afterwards, lots of people even wanted to pose for pictures with him (including me – guilty as charged!). No wonder people crave the spotlight, he said. I can relate. During […]

Yeah I know what you’re thinking. Yearend? But it’s not even into the ‘ber months yet! Well, our company does not follow the calendar year, and we close our fiscal years every June. And to celebrate that, we usually have a party after about a couple of months. So for this year, the following were […]

Boracay Getaway {Deetour}

by

After four long months of waiting, July 8 finally rolled around and found me and four of my housemates headed for Kalibo inside a Cebu Pacific airplane. It didn’t start out well, though. Since it’s July and not exactly summer, it was raining on the morning of our departure, that’s why during the first part […]

Bye Bye Kes & Arni (part 3)

by

As if two despedida’s were not enough, we pushed for one more — our original plan, the sleepover. We rented out a condo room in Millenium Plaza Hotels for one night and checked ourselves in at around 9pm last Friday. But before that, Gelle, Yen and I stopped by Caltex Starmart to buy food and […]
