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. […]
Bye Bye Boots
On April 14, 2005, my life changed forever. It was the day that I held in my hand a 3-page letter that told me, in no uncertain terms, that one of my dreams had come true. The letter said, “It is with great pleasure that I formalize our offer for employment with P&G Asia as […]
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 […]
Mafia Shoot
I took my pictorial fetish to the next level when I signed up for my photographer friend Darrel’s washday photo project. The theme was “mafia” and I was made up and accessorized to look like a diva who happens to be a suspected murderer. Darz was a dream photographer who did not just say “ready […]

She’s the Man
This week’s concept – “man” gear. Some of us could not find any ties or suspenders, so polos and vests would have to do. Still, when we walked together, people could not help but stare. Corporate attire is not exactly P&G attire. 😀
TG Last Lunch
Caloi was off to Newcastle for a month last July 14 and won’t be back in time for my last day in P&G, so last July 18, we had what would be the TG’s last lunch together in a long time. =.( Venue: Melo’s, this really expensive steak place in Jupiter. We ordered just one […]
My Last AP Teambuilding
Last July 25, Accounts Payable team headed to Tagaytay Dache and forgot about work for one day and one night. There were games on the first day (I was part of the green team), videoke and drinks at night, and Saturday morning was reserved for Joel’s despedida. I won an award for being the best […]
Wanted {Movie Review}
Choose your destiny, goes the tagline of this yet another comic book adaptation. I was contemplating going home because I was already sleepy, but the movie kept me wide awake and at the edge of my seat all throughout. I found myself relating to the lead character, Wesley, who felt, at the beginning of the film, that […]
Connecting the Dots
Just as I was getting hysterical about whether I made the right choice, my friend Chu referred this video. I was really touched by this speech by Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, during the 2005 Stanford graduation. My favorite parts: You can’t connect the dots […]
