One of the crappy things about being an expat is missing the food back home. Luckily, there are enough Filipinos in Singapore for businessmen to have a big enough market to sell Filipino food. We have lots of Filipino restaurants and one of Manila’s most popular go-to restaurants even has a branch here! Yay! Now […]
On Terrorism
Today is 9/11. Need I tell you the significance of that date? Of course not. So since it’s that date, let’s talk about terrorism. I am not going to talk about the act that happened a dozen years ago. It was a lot more terrible, yes, but what I will talk about is more significant […]
I Saw the Sign
Today’s Blogtember prompt is: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn. Back in 2004, I was working as a teller for one of the banks in my hometown (yes, that same hometown which is now undergoing a terrorists-taking-hostages crisis) and was very miserable about it. So miserable was I that even my […]
Taiwan: Wish Upon a Floating Lantern {Deetour}
Hi there wanderlusters! (Is this a word? There’s a red squiggly line underneath it, so I’m guessing… no. I’m keeping it there, though.) Have you seen the movie Tangled? It’s the animated movie about Rapunzel and I really loved that film because it’s so hilarious and heartwarming. In said movie, Rapunzel’s biggest dream was to […]
Prayers Badly Needed
I didn’t want to talk about this but it’s driving me insane and I needed an outlet. If this feels wrong in the future, I will take it down. When I saw the Blogtember prompt for last Friday: “A story about a time you were very afraid” I dismissed it because who wants to remember […]

30 Before 30 (a Reverse Bucket List)
Today is the last day that I am 30. Sometime ago, I created a “30 Before 30” list or a list of things to do before I turn 30. Well I got depressed last year as I dreaded the big 3-0, and not having accomplished most of the things on said list was one of […]
The Greatest Things I’ve Ever Learned
… is just to love and be loved in return. Or so they say in Moulin Rouge. It’s true, though. I’ll explain that further as my #1 advice, but before that, let me start with some background first. I decided to hop on today’s Blogtember bandwagon last minute. What’s that, you say? It’s a September […]
{The Expat Diaries} 5 Years in Singapore
Peeps, something’s bothering me. Has it really been five years? Like, seriously? I mean, like, FIVE whole years since I first met Singapore’s famous icon, the merlion? Once Upon a Time in Singapore I almost don’t want to believe it, but this blog reminds me that I first stepped on Singapore soil on August 23, 2008. Let […]
