I really thought Boss Ed’s birthday was on July. So yesterday when Mhiles called to ask if I could meet up with them to buy a birthday gift for Boss Ed, I was very VERY unprepared. But I readily agreed. Later on, she called again and handed me over to Chu who told me that […]
Another Night Out
Last night was P&G berks’ night out again. Padoms drove me, Keso, Richie & Dina to The Fort. As we stood around wondering what and where to eat for dinner, I saw Brothers Burger, and I remembered how many people have told me to try their burgers because they are so yummy… So even though […]
Happy Birthday Tics!
Happy Birthday Tics! Today, my batchmate Jerome, whom we affectionately call “Tics,” turns 22. He treated us to dinner & drinks & coffee last Friday night-slash-Saturday morning. The night began with Padoms* driving us (with Keso*, Bebe*, Tics* and me in the passenger seats) to Malate to have dinner in District, this restaurant that he […]
Wedding Bells
I am personally invited, for the first time, to the wedding of someone I actually know. Kuya Arvin is set to wed his lovely girlfriend of 7 years, Mayet. They are both doctors. Kuya Arnel, also my cousin, tells me to go to New World Renaissance Hotel at 8am so I can ride the van […]
Luau in Subic
It is May 25, a thursday, but we are not in the office. Nope, I am not absent from work. In fact, all my officemates are not in the office, but, like me, are garbed in the company-provided Hawaiian pants and polos and seated in 5 huge buses. We are all set to go to […]
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
If you need proof that Star Wars is a major hype, a trip to the Ayala Cinemas is all you need. 5 out of 7 Glorietta4 cinemas and all 5 Greenbelt3 cinemas shows Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. You’d think you’d be sure to get into at least one. No way. You can never […]
Flooded
I hurriedly go down our building, so I could get to España. Today the CPA board exam results come out, and I have to be there for my bestfriend. I exit the building and – oh no! Rain is coming down in torrents, the wind blowing it every which way. Lightning flashes, thunder booms. I […]
Barrio Fiesta
My cellphone rings at 7 in the morning. I deliberate between snuggling into the sheets or answering it, afraid that it was my annoying chatmate once again. After fishing my phone from underneath my pillow, I see that it is an unknown cellphone number. “Hello?”“Hi. This is Aileen. Boss Ed says you’re coming with us? […]
Too Much Excitement
It is boring at home. Not to mention very warm. So I take a quick shower, change, and head outside the door to go wherever the wind took me. The wind takes me outside, where some guy runs up to a couple of other guys and starts bashing them with a long piece of wood. […]
The Phantom of the Opera is There Inside My Mind
Zenie and I sniffled. And it was not because we both had colds (we both got cured already, thank God). We were watching “The Phantom of the Opera” on Chu’s laptop and the last scene was particularly touching. Poor Erik! The entire day has been a Phantom-filled day for us. It began when Zenie watched […]
