Yesterday, P&G FSS (all P&G employees supporting P&G Asia shared services) had its Christmas party in Lokaldero, the Fort Strip. The theme: WHITE. So in line with this event wherein I was to have two separate performances I had to scout around for the perfect white blouse and pants. Since I don’t wear white pants […]
An Enchanted Evening at Enchanted Kingdom {Deetour}
I am not particularly fond of heights. Scratch that…I hate heights. I fear them so much that I used to have falling nightmares all the time. You know, the one where you’d fall off from somewhere (sometimes from some not-so-high place, even) and go hurtling towards the ground for what seems like forever and just […]
A Christmas Carol
When I was a child, every night from December 16 till Christmas, I would wander around the neighborhood with some neighborhood kids like me, and, armed with nothing but makeshift tambourines (softdrink crowns hammered flat and strung through with wire), our off-key voices, guts, a thirst for money and a bit of Christmas spirit, we’d […]
Wish List 2005
I never believed in Santa Claus. My parents were too damn practical and didn’t lead me on about him in the first place. Perhaps this is a wise decision, but somehow I feel… cheated. Cheated of my childhood. Cheated of Christmas. We never had a real Christmas tree, too, nor Christmas stockings stuffed with sweets […]
Unplanned Overnight
It’s early in the morning and I have just started my computer when a sametime message flashes across my screen. It is Kes, asking for advice. I am not exactly surprised. Not that Kes is usually in the habit of asking for advice, just that the world in general is in the habit of asking […]
The Day My Past Lives Came Back to Haunt Me
Today, my past lives came back to haunt me. First there was my first crush in High School. He was my classmate, and for some reason I developed a crush on him because I was the one who always checked his testpaper whenever the teacher asked us to exchange papers so we could correct each […]
The One in Baguio
After weeks of anticipation, our long-awaited joint birthday celebration for five finally pushed through. And the destination…BAGUIO! On the night of October 21, we assembled at the back of our building where our rented van was to pick all twelve of us up. When it finally arrived, we laughed in amusement at the sight. It […]
Bohol {Deetour}
My friend Boss Ed invited me to Bohol three weeks ago, saying he’d shoulder my plane fare with his free air miles. As I wasn’t a regular employee yet at my office I had doubts that I’d be able to ask for a leave. But a free trip to Bohol was too good an offer to […]
Singing the Night Away
Having hurdled the Nursing board exam, my brother has his eyes set on every Filipino nurse’s dream: to work abroad. But before he can do this he has to take and pass additional exams and therefore needs big-sister-in-the-city’s help in buying reviewers. So off to Recto I go with housemates Maya and Gay in tow. […]
Pagsanjan Falls {Deetour}
Chu and his Shell buddies had a blast in Pagsanjan Falls last weekend. He had so much fun, in fact, that he wanted to go back. This time around, he invited us, his housemates. We started out by riding a bus to Sta. Cruz, Laguna. From there we rode a jeepney to Pagsanjan. Once there, […]
