Apparently May is high school batch reunion month because my classmate Janine and my batchmate Julius both came to Singapore for a vacation, though not together. For both, it was our second time to meet them here in Singapore. Ja came here with her bestfriend Marjorie back in 2008 while Julius visited his sister here […]
From LV to Crispy Pata
As usual, it started out as an email. “Guess what Joey got Gelle for their first anniversary! He really saved up for it. He’s so sweet!” I said. “LV?!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! What kind?? Joey’s such a great gifter!!!!!!!!” Chi guessed correctly. I was amazed at how she knew. I mean, I probably wouldn’t have known if […]
No Retouch Makeup
I am not one of those girls who retouch their makeup everytime they go to the loo. Usually I just apply my makeup in the morning and that’s it. No more retouch (or combing my hair, but that’s another story) during the rest of the day. Thank goodness I found makeup that stays on even […]
The Voter’s Finger
No I’m not giving you the finger. I’m just showing you my indelible ink-stained index finger that proves that I just voted for this year’s elections. In the Philippines, the elections will be held on May 8, but for OFWs we have one whole month to vote – April 10 to May 10. The embassy […]
Guy Gossip: Cars
I’m gonna talk about something that I never thought I’d ever see on this blog ever: cars. I don’t know anything about cars. I never pay attention to them and can’t tell one model from another. It used to frustrate some people when they’ll ask me what kind of car so-and-so drives and I’d just […]
Gelle Learns How to Drive… a Bike
“Let’s meet up over the weekend? Is there a good movie that’s showing?” I ask the girls in an email. “Let’s go biking in East Coast!” Chi responds, to everyone’s surprise. But we all eagerly agree with the idea. Something new from our typical dinner-then-eat-then-talk-for-hours routine. What fun! “Sorry guys but I don’t know how […]
I Love the Iphone 3GS
After months of thinking about it, I finally caved and got an iPhone 3GS from Singtel last Friday. Blame it on my two colleagues whom I asked to “sell” the iphone to me. That morning was the first time I ever held an iphone and that night, I had one of my own. I got […]
Me, a Spy?
I was walking to the bus stop when I noticed a lizard on one of the branches of the tree. I was amazed at the way it camouflaged itself, so even though I was supposed to be in a hurry, I couldn’t help but stop, take out my camera, and take a picture of it. […]
My Mom in Singapore part 3: Universal Studios
Universal Studios, a world renowned movie theme park, has just recently opened in Singapore as part of Resorts World Sentosa. I bought tickets online and man it was expensive – S$72 for a one day pass for each adult. Fortunately, my mom is a qualified senior (65+), so her ticket only cost S$36. Unfortunately, tickets were […]
My Mom in Singapore part 2: Mom Meets the Merlion
Of course, no trip to Singapore is complete without a visit to the Merlion, so we brought my mom and my roommates’ family to meet the famous water-spouting icon of Singapore. Chi said she wanted to meet my mom, so I invited her to dinner with us. AA also came. We had dinner first in […]
