It’s my first time. As I lie back my muscles tighten. I put him off for a while searching for an excuse, but he refuses to be swayed as he approaches me. He asks if I’m afraid and I shake my head bravely. He has had more experience, but it’s the first time his finger […]
Fort Night
I had just finished cooking my baon for the next day when Maya appears outside our window saying I had a visitor. Me? Visitor? Who? Turns out to be Tics fetching me. He says Doms is parked outside and we are supposed to have a gimik tonight. I should really stop being surprised at Doms […]
Seafood Special
Time flies so fast when you’re having fun. I can’t believe I’ve been working here for a month already! It’s already been a month since my batchmates and I first met and became friends. So we greet each other a happy monthsary. Joan, our baby, is also graduating on Saturday, so we celebrate this event […]
Happy Birthday Boss Ed!
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 […]
