Accidents Happen…Especially to Me

by

A fortuneteller who can supposedly see your past lives once told me that I should be careful of the water because in one of my past lives, it was the cause of my death. I am not sure I believe in past lives, but I wonder if she has a point. Like I mentioned in […]

Happy First Birthday Rhyza!

by

If I needed proof that time flew fast, Rhyza’s first birthday party was it. It seems like only yesterday that I attended this girl’s christening, and now she was turning a year old?!? Her mom and my friend Liza invited us to the party held in McDonalds Greenbelt last Sunday. We played games, ate spaghetti […]

Scorching Sports Showdown

by

We had our second annual company summer sports showdown yesterday. We rode buses to Ultra, donned in different colored jersey shirts. Mine was dark blue for the Treasury-Accounts Payable-Affiliates alliance team. The first event was the 1.5K fun run. Everyone was entitled to join this race, but due to the extreme heat and phobia after […]

Voiceless

by

#37 Run in a marathon Done with #37 in my 100-things-to-do-before-i-die list. That makes it the 5th of a hundred. A long way to go, man. Okay, okay, so maybe I ran just a third of the way and brisk-walked the rest, but at least I still ran, didn’t I? And can I help it […]

My First Swimming Lesson

Last night I attended my first swimming lesson with my officemates Ivy and Jaypee and my roommate Maya. It was held in the Mandarin Hotel swimming pool. P&G’ers have a 50% discount on the classes. We had been planning this since last year but due to some weird circusmtances involving Jaypee and his nose, we […]

Last Friday, one of P&G’s wellness circles, PMG (Performing Musicians Guild) held its first Acoustikahan: battle of the bands contest. Four bands joined in, including our band composed of mostly AP people named Parokya ni Jobacs after our band “manager,” Joel Baculi. Joel is actually a band 2 boss who’s an expert base guitarist and vocalist […]

Happy Flowers Day!

by

“A stargazer lily is the only flower that has its first bloom at night.” I have always wished I’d get a bouquet for valentines. I even had a picture of the bouquet I wanted in my mind. I didn’t want roses because they’re too common. I wanted an assortment of colorful blooms with a pink […]

Home for the Holidays 2006

by

Home for the holidays again! Okay, so my round trip fare cost me 7,500 bucks, but some of the best things in life actually come with a price. Zenie and I had the same Cebu Pacific flight and there was major chaos in the teeny Domestic airport that even though we got there an hour […]

Work-Life Balance

by

Eversince I officially changed roles at work this month, I have found myself working overtime everyday. Last Thursday I went home at 11pm and was back in the office at 6:30 am the following day. This is part of the learning curve, I tell myself. I was the one who asked for this role. I […]
