While I was scrolling through Instagram, I chanced upon a picture from Laracasey which got me thinking. Hmmm. What is my word for 2016? So I discussed it with my friends, who chose their own beautiful words: So what’s mine? Before I got there, I multitasked, as one does, and somehow ended up reading Jillian’s blog […]
New Year 2016
My New Year’s eve was spent the same way as my Christmas eve, with my friends at their home. They cooked delicious shrimps, carbonara pasta, and hamonado, while I bought some leche flan which I happened to find in a Filipino grocery stall at Pasir Ris interchange. I love how everyone was game enough to […]

Roaring Twenties (Dinner & Dance @ Alkaff Mansion)
On the 28th of November, our company had our annual yearend dinner and dance (D&D) at the Alkaff Mansion’s Grand Marquee. Since the Alkaff Mansion was built in 1918, we thought the perfect theme for the party would be: The Roaring Twenties. The Alkaff Mansion is known for their superb Italian food cooked by a […]
Christmas Lunch @ Calle Real
Today we Filipino friends had a Christmas slash New Year lunch at Calle Real, a revamped Filipino restaurant near our office in Changi Business Park. Dred brought her camera and took some beautiful photos of our delicious food and the place. Great food and company! It was a great way to celebrate Christmas!
Christmas Noche Buena 2015
Christmas is the biggest of big deals in the Philippines, and most Filipino families celebrate it with “noche buena” or Christmas eve dinner. Luckily for me, even though I’ve been single and living oceans away from family for years, I have never had to spend it alone, because I always have friends to spend it […]
Team Christmas Dinners
I love my current team because they love to celebrate Christmas just like me. That’s not usual in this non-Christian country. We had two Christmas dinners, but before that, we did a belated birthday surprise for our VP Evelyn on December 15, on her first day back from vacation. We asked Ivan and Gabriel (guys from another […]
Tuition Singapore
I grew up in a home where education was highly valued. I am glad that I did, because I have seen for myself just how important it proved to be later in life. As we used to tell high school students in our recruitment talks, paying for good education is like paying for a good […]
Yogi Secret Santa
Che, who I first knew as Indieberries but who is now also known as Indieyogalife, organized a gift swap called Yogi Secret Santa. It was unlike other international gift swaps I had ever done before. Most of those usually reveal both gifter and giftee (I know, these sound wrong but you know what I mean, […]
Christmas Pranks
It’s December! That most magical, my favourite time of year. Apparently, it’s also the time of year when you light-bomb your boss’s desk. 😜 My teammate GH brought in the Christmas lights he used for his creative marriage proposal earlier this year, and we decided to prank our boss who was on half day leave. I got […]
