Tapa King opened a franchise in Singapore this March, so we decided to check it out. One more reason to drop by Lau Pa Sat! I went with Betchie, Yves and Arlyn. I had the tapa king meal with a side order of salted egg with tomatoes. They served their meals on a sheet of […]
I Believe in Dreams
Once upon a time in the faraway kingdom of ZC, a little 11-year-old girl had a dream – she wanted to be a writer. But she was too timid to fight for her dream, so she pursued it in secret, by writing on the pages of her diary. She would have liked to make a […]
An Oscars Event
Cate and I joined a contest held by Golden Village through their Facebook account last week and by some twist of luck, we both won a pair of tickets for this: So we took Tatsie and Maria and headed there. Cate and Tatsie were already on leave for that day prior to winning, and my […]
Cate & Rodel Turn 28
For Catey’s birthday, I thought of recomposing a song and serenading her with it. Since she loves Glee, I decided to use “Take a Bow.” I rewrote the lyrics to suit her, printed it out for my flatmates, then we rehearsed it in the living room while the birthday girl slept in our bedroom. We […]
9 99’ers
My high school classmates Jotie and AJ (and AJ’s girlfriend) came to Singapore for a vacation last week. We met them for dinner in Makan Sutra Gluttons Bay last March 2. It was a high school batch reunion in Singapore – 9 99’ers (1999 high school graduates) together! Dinner in Makan Sutra Gluttons Bay 3 […]
Back in Hougang
Last Saturday, we were unceremoniously kicked out of our flat when our landlord found out that we were harboring an “illegal tenant.” He gave us a week to leave. See, we didn’t know that it was an offense because in Hougang we had let Tatsie and Dada live in our flat without informing anyone. But […]
ABS CBN Interview
I don’t really have time to blog because I’m supposed to be writing something else (which I will blog about one of these days if it turns out okay) but I just have to blog about this like right now. This afternoon, we were interviewed by ABS CBN’s Ryan Chua about absentee voting and the […]
My Mother’s Bisaya Folk Songs
When I was a child, or maybe I should say ever since I was a child because I still have a problem until now, I had a hard time falling asleep. So my mom used to sing me songs while patting my thigh to lull me to slumber. Her songs weren’t exactly your average songs, […]
On Girls and Being Thin
“Don’t you just hate it when people comment about how you’ve put on weight?” my friend complained to me this morning. I couldn’t agree more and fervently nodded my assent before realizing that she couldn’t see me over the phone. It made me remember a guy friend’s question to me before: “Do girls really feel […]
Belated Valentine’s Surprise
Ervyn surprised us with chocolate-covered marshmallows tonight. He says it’s his belated Valentine’s gift because he felt guilty that he didn’t get us anything on that day while we got ice cream bars and Meiji chocolate for everyone. There’s a reason why my Lenten sacrifice is pork and beef instead of chocolates. 😀
