Today was one heck of a day. Tiring, scary, and loads of fun. Junjun, an officemate who reminds me a lot of my College Yearbook moderator because they’re both such sport/adventure freaks, invited me to go wall climbing. He and his cute and chubby nephew Anton fetched me at Plaza Fair in his dusty blue […]
Is Life Unfair?
I finally bought a new cellphone, and it was neither one of the phones I was originally torn between. After getting a bigger last paycheck than I expected from KPMG and getting a bigger raise than I expected from my present company, a cellphone upgrade was definitely called for. With my cellphone consultant Chu in […]
Delicious Week
On the first day of the week, our company gave each of us 4 boxes of products each. Lugging those boxes down 18 floors then up again for 7 floors to the parking lot to Dom’s car proved to be quite a workout. Though Doms carried two of my boxes and Yen carried one, the […]
My First Time
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 […]
