If you haven’t seen the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother (S08E23: “Something Old”) and don’t like spoilers, you might need to skip this blog. So in this episode, Robin digs all over Central Park to find a locket she buried in there years ago so that she can use it as her […]

{Throwback Thursdays} Korean Goodies
Last Friday my friend Tyne had some treats for me and my housemates from her Korea trip. So cute! Here’s a closer look at those chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. I really love those! Seeing them reminded me of all my business trips to Korea years ago and I suddenly missed it. Not Korea, but business trips. […]
Wrong Way Wednesday
This happened two weeks ago. We were on our way out of the office to buy food for lunch when Mildred realized, “Hey, since we’re complete, why don’t we have lunch out and save the environment from some styrofoam?” Usually, one or more of us would have brought packed lunch so the rest would just […]
Liebster Award
I have been given the Liebster award from not one but two of my AtoZ blogger buddies, Bradley @ Pass the Sour Cream and Bethie @ Creating Wordlenik. Thanks, you guys! The origins of this award is somewhat unclear, but Liebster is apparently German for sweetheart or favorite. The rules of this award: If you […]
Cinderella’s Slippers
Jelly shoes have been a fashion trend since last year, and the silver colored ones that kind of look like Cinderella’s glass slippers have caught my eye a lot. Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale and I have always been fascinated by her glass slippers. When I was a child I used to slip my […]
A to Z Reflections
Some time last March, I accidentally found out about the A-Z challenge, which challenged bloggers to post the letter of the alphabet every day during the month of April, with Sundays off for good behavior. When I saw that, I thought: As my favorite Barney Stinson of HIMYM would say Now I have been blogging […]
Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you
May the force be with you. If you’re not familiar with that iconic line, you must have been living under a rock for the past three decades. Star Wars is so famous that it’s referenced everywhere. So even if you hadn’t seen it, you’d still know about it. In books. In memes. In spoofs. In humor […]
Jollibee Singapore {Foodee}
Yahoo, I can do a Filipino food Friday post again! Jollibee, the most popular fast food joint in the Philippines, recently opened a branch in Singapore, on the 6th floor of Lucky Plaza. I wasn’t able to try it yet because of the ridiculously long lines, as I mentioned in this post. The separate waiting […]
{Throwback Thursdays} Scat, Cats!
Warning: the following post is NSFW. Sort of. This happened some years ago when I was still living in Makati. One work night we were rudely awakened from the throes of sleep by the sound of cats mewing loudly outside the window of our second floor bedroom. It wasn’t just a normal mewing, either, it […]
The One with the Shepherd’s Pie
Today is Labour Day in Singapore, so it’s a holiday. Yay! I still had to work because it’s not a holiday in the countries where our clients are, but it’s still a yay for me because working on a holiday means free lunch! It’s our company policy. And who doesn’t like free food, right? Recently […]
