I’m sure you’ve already seen the most popular segment in American Idol Season 10 so far – the audition of Chris Medina aka the guy whose fiancee got into a terrible accident that rendered her an invalid but whom he didn’t leave because, as he said, “what kind of guy would I be if I […]

Strictly Pancakes
Arlyn invited us to brunch at Strictly Pancakes, a place that serves all day breakfasts. This was going to be her birthday treat and our last food trip before Yves heads off to Japan. It was raining so heavily that I though we wouldn’t push through but luckily I managed to book a cab through […]
Little Justin
To be honest, I didn’t really like kids all that much as I found them too troublesome. But I changed my mind (or heart?) once I had a niece. I haven’t actually met her yet but I saw her pictures, how she looks like the spitting image of my brother when he was a baby, […]
Inked
Some eight years ago, I wrote the prologue for our college yearbook. Surprisingly, I find that it holds true not just for college but for life. Decided to transcribe it as it doesn’t seem to be that clear: Years ago, when we first stepped into college, troublesome thoughts assailed our senses. Some of us had […]
Happiness is Fleeting
A few days ago, I said I was happy. And I was. But I guess happiness is fleeting. It’s just impossible to be happy all the time. That would be weird. Yes I’ve been having some unhappy moments and thoughts lately. Maybe I jinxed myself when I declared that I was happy? Who knows. But […]
In Love with…
I weighed in yesterday morning and was happy to note that I had lost 0.9 kg since last week, making that a total of 3.3 kg lost this year. Yippee! I am so happy! So happy that a lot of people have been noticing that I seem to be blooming or glowing lately. I had […]
Tyne’s Midnight Model
So I stayed with Tyne for a week to keep her company while all her flatmates were out of the country. It was fun, and it wasn’t that different from being in my own bed because she also had her own chipmunk for me to hug. Hehe. Yes I am such a baby, I like […]
Cheat Day Saturday
I lost only 0.5 kg this week. Hmf. Maybe it’s because I didn’t exercise at all. I’m not used to waking up really early when I’m not in my own bed. I spent the week at Tyne’s place because all her flatmates are out of the country and I decided to keep her company. Still, […]
UBS EB @ Ayala Triangle
I flew to Manila last December 29 and had a chance to finally meet Lennel and Weng in person. These two were former colleagues of mine in UBS but we only ever met in the Pinoy sa UBS chatroom then added each other in Facebook. Lennel had planned the “grand EB” for all those who […]
How Many Calories is That?
It all started with a bet. I bet Maya and Mildred that I’ll lose 10kg by June 30 of this year or I’ll pay them S$100 each. They bet me the same thing but with different weight loss goals. Enter our friend Nikki, who has been counting calories for about three months now. She lost […]
