“Thanks again for everything, especially for you-know-what,” my friend, let’s call her K, wrote in her card to me. “I will always be grateful for that, and I don’t know when I’ll ever stop thanking you for it.” The incident she mentioned happened three years ago. She and I and a few other friends were […]
How to Comfort a Heartbroken Friend
Over the weekend, this Scumbag Steve happened: I’m sure she’s better off without him and she knows that, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt right now. Because it does. And though getting dumped hurts whatever time of year it may happen, I think it’s even more painful when it happens right before the most […]
Welcome to Singapore, Jefrey!
My college friend and former housemate Jefrey moved to Singapore a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to welcome him here by having a sleepover at his place the Saturday after. We were all former housemates in Makati, and it’s so fun to be together again under the same roof! By his place, I […]
7 Cutest Meet Cutes
First things first. What is a “meet cute?” This is how Wikipedia defines it: I first encountered this term in the movie The Holiday and have been enamored by it ever since. The term usually refers to a scene in fiction, but sometimes it does happen in real life, too. Here are some of […]
Riddlers Reunited
My friend Ngangi had a layover flight in Singapore, so we met for breakfast in Changi airport last Saturday. She and I are called the riddlers because of a funny story involving a mutual like for a giant book of riddles during our childhood (when we weren’t friends yet) which you can read about here. […]
Then and Now (vol 2)
You know those before and after pictures wherein people recreate their old photos? I like doing those. Here’s one we did recently… college edition. 😀 Here are a couple of pics of my family that we didn’t recreate but have similar backgrounds – flower gardens. There’s a 20-year gap between pictures. In case you missed […]
7 Favorite Romantic Comedies
Ooh it’s February, Valentine’s month! I’m a hopeless romantic, so I thought I’d kick off the first Sunday Seven of the month with my favorite romantic comedy films. It was so hard coming up with only seven because rom coms are my favorite movie genre and I have a bajillion faves, but after much soul […]
Bed Talk
I was referring to literal bed stuff – you know, pillows, bed sheets, etc? Why, what did you think this post was going to be about?? My bed is without a doubt my most favorite spot in our flat. I moved a couple of months ago and got upgraded from a single to a queen […]
Happy Year of the Wooden Horse!
Happy Chinese New Year! CNY is the biggest holiday in Singapore, so almost all the malls and establishments are closed today (the equivalent of Holy Week in the Philippines). Normal offices are closed too, but since our office caters to non-Singapore-based clients, we have to work. Most of our Chinese colleagues are on leave, though, […]
7 Ways to Save Money
“Dee, let’s be thrifty buddies, okay?” my roommate suddenly pleaded with me last night. “I need to save money for my trip.” “Okay, sure!” I replied, because saving money is actually on my list of new year’s resolutions this year. I also want to save enough money to go on a trip outside Asia soon. […]
