Last Saturday, I had afternoon tea with May and Carol at Tiffin in Grand Hyatt Hotel. May had wanted to try this place for a while now, she said, and had booked it two months ago. That’s how popular it is on weekends. There’s only one set for afternoon tea, so you can’t choose the […]
Eternals and Korean BBQ
Last Saturday, my friends May, Mico, Beulah, King and I watched Eternals, the latest MCU movie, at the Pacific Place cinema. The movie was a very long 2 hours and 36 minutes. That’s the second longest MCU film to date, second only to Avengers: Endgame which clocked in 3 hours and 2 minutes. But while […]
The Price of a Philippine Diploma
In case you didn’t know, I have a podcast called Banana Q: a Filipino-Flavored podcast. Yesterday’s episode was about the cost of a Philippine diploma, not just the peso amount but the blood and sweat and tears that accompany it, especially for the typical Filipino teenager who comes from a poor family. You can listen […]
Cup Noodles Museum Hong Kong
Tawny invited us to make our own personalized cup noodles at the Cup Noodles Museum, so we we went last Saturday. We paid 60 hkd for a ticket. When we got there we were led into a room where we were first asked to sanitize our hands, then we got a an empty cup with […]
The Cheesecake Factory {Foodee}
Last Saturday, May, Tawny, and I met up for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory in Harbour City. We ordered three mains and were overwhelmed by how big the servings were. We were not able to finish them all and had to do takeaway. But of course you can’t dine at The Cheesecake Factory and not […]
Memories of Vale
Dear Team Spirit, Today I’m finally strong enough to write this without bursting into tears. I’ve been digging into my blog and diary archives lately, looking at posts from our golden era – our early twenties which we spent as housemates in Makati. I found an old entry from October 2007 which said: Since we […]
Rest in Peace, Team Spirit
Ronald breathed his last at 1:30AM. Rommel said he was very happy to be home. And the only word he was able to say is: “Ma.”
Beach Day @ Repulse Bay
Hong Kong has been hit by almost back to back typhoon signal number 8s these past few days, so it was great to see the sun again today, especially at the beach. My friend May and I had signed up for a Girl Gone International* beach day which was held at Repulse Bay. We first […]
Froyo DiCatrio
I have wanted a cat for so long. But I told myself I’d only get one once I was at my “forever place.” But this year I thought: who knows when I’d ever get there?? If this pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that life is too short to be constantly waiting before being happy. […]
Birthday Staycation @ The Langham
I had a birthday staycation at The Langham over the weekend. This time around, unlike last year, I wasn’t alone, but with my friend May. I gotta say that the hotel just screamed luxury from the lobby alone. The bedroom also looked very opulent. We booked a slot at the outdoor swimming pool which was quite […]
