Zenie’s Happy Hearts Day

by

Last year was a special valentine’s day, if not for me, then at least for one of my friends, and I was happy enough. Zenie’s boyfriend John had contacted me and asked for my help. He was in their hometown Basilan so he couldn’t give his valentines gift personally, so he asked if I could […]

Girls Night Out

by

Last week we were supposed to have a girls night out that didn’t push through because some people got loaded with work. Well last Friday, without any formal plans, it finally did. It was supposedly just a movie, but Kes and Drew and I thought it would be a good idea to go beyond that, […]

Childhood Memories

by

Over lunch we were once again experiencing stomachache not from food poisoning but too much laughter. Somehow our conversation got steered to kiddie games and they were all amazed at all the game chants/songs I knew which they had never heard before. They said, “talented pala ang mga taga Mindanao, no.” I was the only […]

Yoga

by

Last night I tried out yoga just out of curiosity. It wasn’t easy to stretch yourself to the limit and at times attempt to twist yourself into a human pretzel then lift yourself, in said form, off the ground (I wasn’t able to, actually). But what was weird was how, at the end of the […]

Tongue Twisted

by

Growing up in a melting pot of cultures has made it quite normal for us to converse with each other using three different dialects all at once, knowing full well that the other persons could understand us even if we were, say, speaking in tagalog interspersed with a few chavacano or bisaya words. But that […]

Preserving Memories

by

When I went home over the holidays, one of the things I was looking forward to was the chance to browse through my old memories again – my diaries and other old stuff in my room. I should have seen it as a bad sign when my mom told me she had given away all […]

Happy Birthday Chu!

by

He insists on being called Jess, but when I actually do call him that infront of previous officemates, he mopes and says, “Bakit Jess ang tawag mo sakin? Hindi na ba tayo close?” So I guess this means only close friends of his are allowed to call him “Chu”? Whatever the reason, I’m just flattered […]

Reunion in Bacolod Chicken Inasal

by

After the long holidays, I got a chance to meet up with former officemates from KPMG in Bacolod Chicken Inasal, Glorietta, last night. We were there to exchange pasalubongs and celebrate Chu’s birthday in advance since Reylyn was scheduled to leave for Japan the next day and wouldn’t be here on his actual birthday. The […]

Party2Party

by

Yesterday was a party day for me. In the morning there was an awarding for bronze and silver awardees in the 10th floor marketplace. Though this technically wasn’t a party, they served popcorn and the yummiest ice cream for the attendees and may be considered one, food-wise. In the afternoon we had our Christmas merienda […]

White Christmas @ Lokaldero

by

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 […]
