I thought this was going to be a happy post. Sadly it won’t be. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning. My brother brought his new wife home with us for Christmas. One of her friends who grew up in the same hometown as us had told us that she needed […]
Reunion @ The Fat Monk
IÂ met up with a few college friends for reunion dinner in our hometown. We originally made reservations at a new restaurant called The Fat Monk. Then we thought it was too far and cancelled it, then decided to go to Village, then Cafe Zambo, then Daniel’s Hotel, where they had a karaoke room. But when […]
{Review} Garden Orchid Hotel
My friend Maya and I had the same dream – to stay one night in our hometown’s best hotel. We decided to fulfill that dream last night and booked a room to share with our friend Zenie. Now we hadn’t seen Zenie since our 2011 trip to Bali, so we were psyched to meet up. […]
Partyin’ at a Farm
On the day after my brother’s wedding, his wife’s family decided to hold an impromptu lunch “party” at their uncle’s farm. I am used to farms because my dad’s parents were farmers and we used to have reunions on their farm back when I was younger. Two of the major food groups. ;P To be […]
Extended Family Dogs
Now that my brother is married, he has gotten himself a new family. Since I am in his real family, I guess they are also mine now, by extension. I guess. Not really sure how this whole in-law thing works. I like my new sister-in-law and her family. They all seem like such nice, warm […]

I’m Actually an Introvert
Most people label me as an extrovert. All the personality tests I take say the same thing. But today I realized that I might be an introvert after all. Why? Because I am sitting in the corner of a dark room instead of going downstairs and mingling with my brother’s family-in-law and other guests. I […]
My Brother’s Wedding
My brother got married earlier today. I was a bridesmaid or secondary sponsor in charge of the cord, so it meant I had to be up at 6 am so I could wait in line to get my hair and makeup done. The bride was first priority, of course. Then my mom and I got […]
Reunion @ Bizu {Foodee}
We decided to shift to another place for dessert after having dinner at Tokyo Tonteki, and Drew suggested Bizu in Greenbelt 2. I loved the place, it was so pretty! I wanted to take pictures of every nook and cranny. I was already so full from eating bottomless cabbage and drinking bottomless red iced tea […]
Reunion @ Tokyo Tonteki {Foodee}
My P&G friends chose Tokyo Tonteki in Greenbelt 5 as our dinner place because they wanted to try a restaurant they had never been to before. I ordered their bestseller, the pork tonteki, which is what the restaurant is named after. Tonteki is actually premium pork loin steak. Drew ordered chicken steak with tonteki sauce […]
