Beauty Arsenal

by

I love reading Cosmopolitan Magazine because of all the beauty tips and pieces of advice on other girly stuff that one could pick up there. That’s what’s useful about magazines, they give you some tips on what to buy. But the problem is, how do you know which ones are actually true? I mean, some […]

Getting the Chicken Pox Vaccine

by

I don’t understand why I became such a scaredy cat when I became an adult. When I was a kid I was not at all afraid of injections. Doctors and dentists even used to praise me for being a brave kid because I didn’t cry when I got my first teeth pulled out or when […]

Ten Peso Promos

by

Last night I had a long overdue chat with my bestfriend back home. We used to burn the phone lines all the time back when we were still both in hometown. But since I left, this was no longer possible due to expensive long distance rates. That is, until, PLDT saved us and launched the […]

Housemate Bloopers

by

Funny thing happened to a couple of my roommates yesterday morning. One noticed that her towel was wet even though she hadn’t used it yet.

Girls Night Out

by

Last week we were supposed to have a girls night out that didn’t push through because some people got loaded with work. Well last Friday, without any formal plans, it finally did. It was supposedly just a movie, but Kes and Drew and I thought it would be a good idea to go beyond that, […]

Childhood Memories

by

Over lunch we were once again experiencing stomachache not from food poisoning but too much laughter. Somehow our conversation got steered to kiddie games and they were all amazed at all the game chants/songs I knew which they had never heard before. They said, “talented pala ang mga taga Mindanao, no.” I was the only […]
