New Year Superstitions

by

There are all sorts of superstitions involved with the first day of the year. the most famous, of course, is to make noise to drive away the evil spirits, that is why we have fireworks. In the Philippines, we had quite a few – set 12 round fruits on the table to represent good luck […]

Did You Have an Imaginary Friend?

by

Today on Facebook: Cel’s Status – Me: When I was your age, the househelp couldn’t iron our clothes. Nina: Why? Me: Because I forced them to play cards with me! Nina: Tita! You should have played with your imaginary friends! @_@ Kids say the darndest things. I never had an imaginary friend, though. Oh, I […]

I Got a Barbie Doll for Christmas! Yey!

by

“Mommy” Gelle and “Daddy” Joey gave me a Barbie doll for Christmas! Even though Gelle joked that she bought it because I was “making parinig” (dropping hints), I totally didn’t expect it. She probably meant this blog where I mentioned the significance of Barbie dolls and Christmas to me and how I wouldn’t mind receiving one […]

Internet Archaelogists Find Ruins of Friendster Civilization

by

“Hey look, the new Friendster looks nice,” Ervyn announced to me and Cate earlier tonight, angling his laptop screen towards us so we could see. “Yeah I saw it some time ago. It does look prettier,” I agreed. “Not impressed!” Cate replied, making a face. I have to agree with Cate though. Sure it has […]

Barbie Dolls for Christmas

by

I was strolling through Ang Mo Kio Hub’s Fairprice grocery store when I came across a shelf of Barbie dolls. It was all I could do to buy one… for myself! Barbie dolls were my favorite toys as a child. And they particularly symbolize Christmas to me because I got all of mine on this […]

Sana Ngayong Pasko Music Video

I shot and edited a music video of Michael Buble’s song “Home” starring Ervyn but it couldn’t be uploaded on YouTube due to music copyright issues so I uploaded the video for downloading here instead. I also decided to use some of the footage (scenes shot all over Singapore) to make a music video using […]

Park Music Videos

by

Parks apparently cause us to make music videos. Can I just say that Cate is a really good performer? In the second video, I was the “singer” yet she stole the show. 😀 Here’s one in Ang Mo Kio Park, shot on the same day as Terror at the Park. And this was shot today […]

Our Horromedy: Terror at the Park

by

Cate, Ervyn and I were jogging in Ang Mo Kio Park this afternoon when the forest inspired us to make an impromptu movie ala Blair Witch. Impromptu meaning there wasn’t even a script, we just rolled the camera and started running and screaming all over the place. Once we got home, that’s when we thought […]

Bella Strikes Again

by

Cate used to call me Bella. Not because I’m best friends with werewolves or obsessed with good-looking vampires but because I am so terribly clumsy. I’m always tripping all over my feet and I don’t know why. Yesterday, it happened again, outside the mall Wisma Atria in Orchard. I was just walking at a normal […]
