I went back to Universal Studios for the third time last Saturday. Now if it were up to me, I’d rather not set foot in there again because I’m not really a rides kind of girl because of my fear of heights and my vertigo, but who am I to say no to a free […]
Belated Birthday Brunch
My friends threw me a belated birthday brunch over the weekend, and it was glorious. It was held in Jefrey’s place. He actually researched recipes and baked brioche and fritata and made a healthy fruit and yogurt parfait. I’m so touched! Cate and Tatsie brought hokkien mee (prawn noodles) because it is Filipino custom to […]

How We’re Having Fun at Work
Interesting things have been happening at work lately, thanks to the FISH! Philosophy. The first week they announced it, we were told there would be 5 weeks of activities and that we could use casual clothes for its duration. I groaned because I don’t have too many casual clothes. I need to buy more jeans […]

A Great Gatsby Christmas Party
Last Sunday we held our annual Christmas party for LZ (hometown friends based in Singapore). As usual we had a theme, but instead of the usual color scheme theme, this time we went with The Great Gatsby because why not? I used an old headband which I wore as a bridesmaid flower girl for Chi’s wedding […]

Thanksgiving Dinner with my Second Family
One of the cons of being an expat is being far away from your family and the people you grew up with, the culture that defines you. While it’s certainly a lot of fun learning a new culture and making new friends, there are moments when you’re just happy to be the old you, speak […]
