Cate and I found a lead on a cheap transient place from Peter, so we called the owner and made an appointment for viewing this afternoon. We were too lazy to check the internet for details, so I just relied on what little bits of information I got from the owner I conversed with and […]
Housed
I decided to stay at the house the whole day and watch House season 4. I felt hunger pangs at close to 2pm and decided to cook Maggi noodles soup for lunch. Again…who knew that one small pack of noodles could feed two girls? While waiting for the food to cook, we loaded the washing […]
Singapore Saga Day 2 – Amazing Race
On day 2 of our stay in Singapore, Monette, Tyne’s roommate, cooked spaghetti for us, and we had it for lunch at their place. Then it was back to Lucky Plaza, where they sent their remittances for their families back home, before we headed on our amazing race. We call it amazing race because we […]
Singapore Saga Day 1

Feather Duster

Berch Dinner in Manila
It’s a good thing Ira decided to invite me to dinner with our other high school classmates last night, a get together before Ilynne leaves for Japan with her hubby, she said. Luckily I had no dinner plans, so I was able to join them at Gloria Maris, Rockwell. We had coffee in Starbucks afterwards. […]
Touched by the Unexpected
I know, I know, I should stop writing goodbye blogs. But I just had this touching moment today. I was busy filling up my departure checklist at my desk when my new teammate looked over my shoulder and asked if I was really leaving. As she is new, we are not really friends yet, and […]
