Last night, I watched Stardust on Netflix. It’s one of my all time favorite rom com fantasy adventure films, and I was thrilled that it still held up after all these years, because a lot of movies age like milk. So I posted about it on my Instagram stories and my friend Zenie replied to […]
Queen of Concepts
Back in my old company in the Philippines, I was known as the “queen of concepts.” This was due to my habit of taking what we called “concept photos” or photos that involved “acting” for the camera. Now that I think about it, “concept photos” probably don’t make sense. Wacky shots, maybe? Anyway, here are […]
A Letter for Someone Moving to Makati City
Dear Vic, So the rumors are true… you really are moving to Makati. Wow. Why? You’re gonna regret it. JUST KIDDING! Someone handed me this scrapbook thingie for me to write a note for you before you go. You were probably not expecting to see my note in here, much less a really lengthy rambling […]
Interpretative Dance
If all goes according to plan, right about now I should be celebrating my friend Caloy’s birthday with our other friends, my former colleagues from P&G, in Makati. I hope I’m not dancing an interpretative dance, though, because of this chat conversation I had a few days ago: Me: Why are there only three of […]
{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 […]
Memorable Makati
Last month was the 10th anniversary of our college graduation. Our batch valedictorian Ronald greeted us “Hi Guys! Happy 10th year!” in our long-silent Facebook group. There was a flurry of responses to this, in the midst of which this conversation got inserted: Chu: On a related topic – for the housemates of Bahay ni […]
Birthday Cakes
For the first time in the history of me working, I decided to take a birthday leave! Yahoo! So… now what? *Crickets chirping* Aha! I can wax nostalgic and take a look at pictures of my previous birthdays. (Whew! Crisis avoided.) My first ever birthday. Obviously I don’t remember anything about it but the pictures show that […]
How the Smile Shutter Can Backfire
This happened years ago. Gelle had just bought her Sony camera which had the smile shutter technology – you can set it so that instead of clicking the button or setting the timer, the camera would take a picture when it detects a smile. We excitedly tried it out, but after many clicks, we decided […]
Friendster Testimonials
A few years ago, Friendster was the ultimate “in” thing. Then Multiply came. Then Facebook. Then Twitter. Now I rarely even open Friendster except to read Tupe’s blogs. Facebook is so much more fun. But I guess the one nice thing about Friendster that Facebook doesn’t have is testimonials. So, lest my Friendster account gets […]
Funny Furniture Adventures
Adventure 1: The Side Table in the Bus and MRT Yesterday I invited Cate to go to Ikea with me so that I could buy a bolster pillow and side table for me as well as a full length mirror for our room. So we headed to Tampines MRT station to ride the free shuttle […]
