Before midnight, my flatmates surprised me with Italian food, a mini cake (since they already gave me a big one the day before) and a video. The video was made by Tyne. The messages were so touching and unexpected and I would’ve cried if there had been no other people around (haha, I’m like that). […]
Pre-Birthday Celebration
Last Friday, our bosses announced that September 6 was a holiday in one of the countries we were supporting, so we could take a leave on said day if we want. I filed for it straightaway. Now that I had an extra day off, what to do? I was deliberating jetting off somewhere by myself, […]
One Fine Saturday in Orchard Road
Yesterday we spent the afternoon and evening in Orchard. We met up at Lucky Plaza and had a very OFW couple of hours – Pinoy food lunch, PAG-IBIG registration, then remittance. I brought them to Happy V, Singapore’s Jollibee rip-off. They were very happy with the food, especially the sweet spaghetti. Then we brought out […]
Wheelchair
(Parang pang Maalaala Mo Kaya lang ang title eh no?) Last night I had a first encounter of the wheelchair kind. No I don’t mean that I rode one, because I had that experience years ago back in college when I was brought to the clinic in one after I nearly collapsed during a PE badminton […]
On the Pursuit of HappYness
I think this is the best insight I’ve found on the subject of pursuing happiness. “Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple – to be happy. Maybe it’s this expectation though of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we […]
Touring Sentosa with Shared Service Center Girls
I brought Ivy, Joc, Jem and Gay to Sentosa last Saturday. It’s their first time to be in Singapore. New and old friends together, this should be interesting. Gay was a bit apprehensive at first, since she didn’t know the others, but she need not have worried as they were all very nice and at […]
Mockingjay – Hunger Games 3 {Book Review}
Finally, the book I’ve been waiting for since last year is out – Mockingjay, the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I had pre-ordered the book months ago but since it was shipped from the US, it’s still en route to me. Luckily, I found a free Stanza Reader ebook late last Thursday and […]
Gay’s First Day in SG
Gay arrived in Singapore this afternoon. Maya and I fetched her from the airport and the first thing she said when I met her was, “Ang init pala dito no?” (It’s so hot here, isn’t it?) Haha. That’s what three months in Perth will do to you. She had just come from Perth, Australia, where she […]
A Morning in Clarke Quay
So this morning I went to Clarke Quay to pick up my new employment pass at MOM (Ministry of Manpower). I had a new photo taken and I was quite happy with it. Then it turns out I didn’t need to submit a picture because they used the one in the system. So that means […]
(Not) Everything with Fries
Yves discovered Katong, supposedly Singapore’s food enclave, and suggested going there. So off we went this evening. We tried out Everything with Fries. The books on the shelves against a wall gave the place a homey feel. The english songs blaring from their speakers also added to the cozy ambiance. When the waitress arrived, we […]
