We Shine Too Damn Brightly

by Leave a Comment

Last Monday, I had the most interesting conversation I’ve ever had with a local office contact in the three years I’ve worked for my company. The farthest I have ever gotten with anyone else before this was “have a nice day.” This happened via office messenger chat. S: Hi, is it possible just to run […]

Friday Funnies

Laughing is one of my favorite things to do. Luckily, it takes little to make laugh, and I am surrounded by friends who reduce me to fits of giggles. Let me share a few real life conversations that tickled me. ~o~ Chatting with my team mate on instant messenger: H: Hi Dee..it’s done and uploaded […]

Sunday Comics: That Awkward Moment

by 3 Comments

This happened when my brother and I were on vacation in Cagayan de Oro. We headed to Ket Kai mall for a bit when we were approached by some salespeople to try out their massage chairs. As we sat there enjoying the surprisingly delicious warm massage, this awkward moment happened with a sales guy. He […]

I hope I’m not dancing an interpretative dance, though, because of this chat conversation I had a few days ago: Me: Why are there only three of […]

Mischief Managed

It’s my younger brother Ivan’s birthday today, so I would like to share a childhood moment that I had with him. I can’t remember what age we were then, but one day, our dad (it was probably him, since Mom takes bad photos; she always ended up cutting off people’s heads in the picture) said, […]

The best stage of a relationship is the courtship – not just for the couple involved, but for their friends too. This is the stage when everyone likes to bully tease the love birds, and that is exactly what we are doing to our friend now, LOL!

Shopping on the Run

“I’d like to pay for this, please,” I said, pushing the tag across the counter to the cashier. He looked in confusion at the tag, which was missing the item it was supposed to be attached to. “I’m wearing it,” I explained, pointing to the dress I had on. Black polka dot dress, cardigan, scarf […]
