I think I may have a problem. I tend to get obsessed. About what? About anything, really. Let me list a bunch of random stuff I have gotten obsessed with over the years. X-Men Barbie dolls Sailormoon Sweet Valley Twins Clarissa Explains It All Greek Mythology The Titanic Charmed and witchcraft All the guys on […]
Nasty News
I woke up this morning to the bad news that the Boston Marathon had been bombed. My thoughts immediately flew to my fellow A-Z challenge blogger who runs Another Clean Slate, as she had just chosen to blog M for Marathon Monday which was all about the Boston Marathon. I knew she didn’t participate in it […]
Memorable Makati
Last month was the 10th anniversary of our college graduation. Our batch valedictorian Ronald greeted us “Hi Guys! Happy 10th year!” in our long-silent Facebook group. There was a flurry of responses to this, in the midst of which this conversation got inserted: Chu: On a related topic – for the housemates of Bahay ni […]
[CLOSED] Kith Cafe @ Sentosa Cove {Foodee}
Last Saturday found me having brunch with my friends Betchie, Arlyn and Maribeth. It was Betchie’s suggestion to try out Kith Cafe at their new branch in Sentosa Cove’s Quayside Isle.

In other words, as the words on my notebook says: Sometimes we keep searching for that elusive “happiness,” thinking that we can’t be happy until we’ve reached a certain goal, or moved a […]
Instant Instants
Are you familiar with the Annoying Facebook Girl meme? I’m sure you know someone like that. Heck, if we’re Facebook friends, your finger is probably pointed at me. Yes, I admit, I was that girl. Take note, I said WAS. As in past tense. As in now she’s just somebody that you used to know. I […]
Handling Humiliation with Humor
When something incredibly embarrassing happens to you, what do you do? Take Jennifer Lawrence, who tripped and fell on the steps on her way up to the stage to accept her Academy Award for best actress earlier this year. When she was asked much much later about what went through her mind when it happened, […]
Generations and Gratitude
This is a picture of three generations of women on my maternal side – Lola Puring, Mommy, and little baby me. This is the only picture I have of this phenomenon in my life because unfortunately, Lola died when I was 2 years old. I don’t know if I can have a repeat of this […]
