It may not be obvious to everyone who knows me well, but I’m actually a shy person… when I’m a newbie. If you don’t believe me, just ask the AP folks in P&G when I was a newbie. My teammates actually asked me, “Tahimik ba talaga ang mga taga ZC?” (Are people from ZC really […]
A Student Again
Ok here I go again. Another first day. First day at school, so it seemed. I started my new work today, and we’re in training for three days. Today’s session reminded me of my Accounting classes. Actually, I didn’t like the subject of equities back then; I preferred assets. So I was slightly afraid of […]
Pigging out in La Noce and Sakura
Yesterday, I had a date with my fellow riddler Ngangi. It started when we met up at Tiong Bahru Plaza to ride a cab to one of her favorite haunts, an Italian restaurant called La Noce. It was just supposed to be a five minute cab ride away… if the cab driver knew where it […]
Watch Out For Trucks
Yesterday I started reading Robert Fulghum’s What On Earth Have I Done, which was my birthday gift to Ngangi. I came across this interesting portion: During the ride home, Brie was unusually quiet. I parked the car and we walked hand-in-hand toward my house, where she was spending the night. Still quiet. Suddenly she said: […]
You are Diverse, Singapore
The beauty of Singapore is in its diversity – especially when it comes to food. Just check out the different kinds of food that I had this week, for example. First up: Nasi Lemak, a Malaysian dish which is common enough in most hawker places but which I’ve never tried in the almost two years […]
Salt {Movie Review}
We watched Salt last night, and even though an onset of migraine gave me a mild photophobia (sensitivity to light) which forced me to wear sunglasses inside the cinema, it didn’t make the movie any less enjoyable to watch for me. But then again, I have always been a fan of Angelina’s action movies. She’s […]
Eat Pray Love {Book Review}
After what seems like ages, I finally decided to start reading again. I picked up this book off the bookstore shelf, knowing that it was slated for release as a movie soon, under the mistaken notion that it was a fiction novel. Even when I started reading it, I still thought it was a novel […]
Familiarity Breeds Numbness
Once upon a time, I was so happy when I discovered canned paksiw-flavored sardines in an SM grocery store. It was so delicious that I bought many cans. I ate it everyday till such time came when the very sight of it made my stomach turn and I didn’t finish my stock and have never […]
Photographs Don’t Lie
I used to think that photographs lie. That they don’t capture the true beauty of a person. Like some people are prettier in real life but when put on picture, they don’t look as good. And there are those who are photogenic – beautiful on film but not quite so in person. I realize now […]
Bonifacio and Marina Bay Sands
Chu is here for a business trip, so we his college friends met up with him for lunch and dinner last Saturday. We had lunch at Kabayan in Lucky Plaza then walked around Orchard helping him chase after the elusive iphone 4, to no avail. We were so exhausted that Cate and I fell asleep […]
