A Personal Chef
My friend Neil asked me to buy some Alavar sauce for him when he found out that I was going home for the holidays. Then I went to Ateneo de Manila University to deliver it to him, because he’s a professor there and that’s where he lives. He met me at the Araneta center and […]
Company Christmas 2007
Our company felt the Christmas spirit starting the first Friday of the month, when our Christmas bonus and baskets were distributed to every eligible employee. We got a trolley jampacked of food, a couple of hams, and a bagful of P&G products. I was wondering how I was supposed to get all those home to […]
Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Island {Deetour}
After my stint in Cagayan of the North, I visited the Cagayan in the South…Cagayan de Oro, the city of golden friendship. This trip was booked months in advance, and there were supposed to be eight of us, but two of our housemates, including the one who started this all, have gone off to other […]
Laoag, Ilocos Norte {Deetour}
Laoag was about two hours away from Vigan, and we checked into Fort Ilokandia hotel. Kes paid for our room, and Ems and I were so tired from all the daytime excitement that we just ordered the Ilokano specialty bagnet from room service for dinner. We also ate some of the bibingka which was supposed […]
Vigan, Ilocos Norte {Deetour}
I have an officemate whose hometown is in Vigan, and he was expecting us in town at 10am on the day we drove off from Tuguegarao, and he had offered for us to have merienda in their home when we got there. Unfortunately we miscalculated the time (it was 7 hours to Vigan), so when […]
Tuguegarao, Ilocos Norte {Deetour}
On November 2, Gelle and I rode a plane to Tuguegarao, where we were met at the airport by Kes and her friend JL. They drove us to Keso’s house, and on our way there, we discovered that the L in JL’s name stands for Lesli and so Gelle decided that we would call him […]
Basketball Bonding
San Miguel was my favorite PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) team back when I was a child because of Samboy Lim aka Skywalker. When he quit playing in PBA, I lost interest and basketball became the #1 cause of fights between me and my brother Ivan. We fought over the remote control whenever he wanted to […]

Green Birthday
It’s Yen’s birthday today but since it’s a holiday, we decided to plan her surprise for Thursday. The night before that, we blew up balloons and condoms and arranged it in her area, and when she arrived the next morning she was pleasantly surprised. For lunch, we bought some food in Chowking and a chocolate […]
