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 […]

Can You Please Check If the Water is Running?

by

When I was in High School, before caller ID was invented, my neighbor used to prank her friends by making me call them and say, “Hello, this is the water district. Can you please check if your water is running?” After that person had checked and come back and said yes it was, I’d then […]

College Sweethearts

by

Yesterday, two of my College classmates changed their status to “in a relationship” in Facebook and were soon inundated with happy comments from their common friends, including me. It was a surprise because even though they had the same personalities, they didn’t exactly revolve in the same circles except for the classroom. So I have […]

A Busload of Bus Memories

by

This morning, I saw a video of a burning Guiwan bus terminal on Facebook. According to an article, the fire happened last Monday and razed the old place to the ground. That terminal has been around forever and is probably way overdue for a replacement but still, it is our city’s only bus depot. How will […]

Halloween Twins

by

This afternoon, Cate and I met a new acquaintance who asked us if we were sisters. It’s a question we get asked a lot, actually, from Thais to Singaporeans to Filipinos. So I thought about taking a picture of us together using my laptop’s Photobooth to blog about it. And that was how it started, […]

The Early Bird Catches the Promo Fares

by

Yesterday, I got this in my email: Keso’s wedding in Manila, where I am to be bridesmaid, is inclusive of those dates, so I decided to visit their site and buy myself tickets. I knew it was going to be difficult because based on previous experiences, the site has a tendency to be be really […]

Meant to Know Each Other

by

Over lunch today, Yves and I discovered that we had been teammates in P&G’s 2005 teambuilding held in Subic. We had crossed paths and didn’t even know (or remember) each other. This is definitely proof that we had always been meant to be acquainted. different teams wore different color hawaiian pants I wore blue Yves […]

I Had Always Been

by

When people ask me why I keep a blog, I tell them that my #1 reason for doing so is to preserve my memories. See, the memory can be a tricky thing in that it can be selective in what it retains in its archives. But if I write it down while the moment is […]
