Pagsanjan Falls {Deetour}

by

Chu and his Shell buddies had a blast in Pagsanjan Falls last weekend. He had so much fun, in fact, that he wanted to go back. This time around, he invited us, his housemates. We started out by riding a bus to Sta. Cruz, Laguna. From there we rode a jeepney to Pagsanjan. Once there, […]

Longing for Long Hair

by

Last Friday, I brought Gay and Maya with me to Stir Crazy, a bar where Rocky and Thom invited me. We nearly got lost but somehow we made it. The band was great, and so were our drinks – Nite, just like beer but not as bitter-icky. We took a pic of our trio and […]

Get That Ball! – a UAAP Basketball Game Story

by

I am a full-blooded Atenean. And when I say that I mean I spent my entire education life (all 16 years of it) in the Ateneo in my hometown. So when Rocky invited me to watch a UAAP game last Sunday, I grabbed the chance to cheer for my alma mater’s sister school, Ateneo de […]

Speed Dating

by

If you’ve seen the movie “Hitch” then you’ll have an inkling about what the title is all about. It seemed interesting, so out of curiosity and thirst for experiencing something new, a lot of prodding from friends and maybe lack of anything better to do, I signed up for a speed dating event last Saturday. […]

At Pinoy Big Brother’s House

by

For my birthday treat to my housemates, I decided to bring them to Dampa, where my batchmates and I had our first monthsary celebration. Everyone was excited and was home promptly. We rode a couple of taxis over there and were soon shopping for squid, fish, shrimps, mangoes, lato (seaweed) & eggplants in the market. […]

Plan Shmlan

by

A friend always tells me, plans never work out. It’s the impulsive things that do. I guess he was right about this Friday. As early as Monday an officemate invited me to a night out with his friends so I could meet his friend who’s supposedly interested in me. Then I was supposed to bring […]

High School Life Oh My High School Life…

by

My high school classmate Christopher was in Manila for an interview for Landbank, and he was thoughtful enough to text me “Hey, we’re meeting in Robinson’s Place Manila at 4pm..I hope you can bring Flisha’s badminton set because I’m leaving tomorrow.” When I looked at my watch it was 10 minutes before 4pm, and there […]

Lucky Me

by

Yesterday we had yet another company-sponsored event, one held in honor of P&G pension fund retirees. All P&G employees, including those from 6750 and the Cabuyao plant, were invited to celebrate the event in Le Pavillion, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. So at 4pm, we GBS (Petron-based) people were en route to the place in big buses. […]

Birthday Blahs

by

I hate Wednesdays. Why? Coz it’s the day when I get the most pressure. It is the day that I do payment run for three markets. And more often than not, these payments run into problems, especially Taiwan’s. After resolving everything and ensuring that what needs to be paid get inlcluded in the payment run, […]

Bar Hoppin’

by

Better late than never, I always say. I guess that’s what P&G believes, too, because our yearend party finally came into fruition, though a couple of months delayed. The stage was set in Bar 826 near Greenbelt. The date to begin at 3pm on Friday. A couple of contests were set. The first one was […]
