Last week I was invited to a Chope media event at La Ventana, a spanish restaurant in Dempsey Hill. As part of Michelin starred Chef Carles Gaig’s vision to expand to Asia, La Ventana by Carles Gaig was opened in June 2015 and located in a tranquil spot surrounded by beautiful and lush greenery in Dempsey […]
A Letter to My Goddaughter Jana
Dear Jana, Yesterday, your mom, one of my best friends, gave birth to her first born child and my first goddaughter – YOU! I went to visit her at the hospital later that day, pink flowers and baby clothes on hand, and had my first picture with you. Your mom regaled me with the whole birth story, from when […]
Lam’s Salt Baked Chicken @ Parkway Parade {Foodee}
There are pros and cons to moving. One con is missing all your former neighbourhood haunts, like malls or salons or restaurants. I used to frequent the same foodcourt on lazy weekends, and whenever I went, I always followed the same path – order saba fish set from the Korean stall, get chili lime condiments […]
I Bought a Chromecast and It’s the Best Thing Ever
I had heard many good things about the Google Chromecast, but I was on the fence about it because we already have an X-Box in our flat which we used to watch Netflix and I wasn’t really sure if there was any other use for it. But when my teammate Guohao went to Canada recently, he […]
A to Z Acronym Challenge
While other bloggers complete their month-long A to Z blogging challenge today, I’m posting about a different A to Z challenge that my teammates and I faced a couple of days ago. It all started when Nic used some unknown acronym. “Oh come on, Nic, there you go again, using acronyms only you know!” someone […]
Bloodless
This morning I went for a medical screening. I haven’t had one since I left the Philippines in 2008 so I thought it was about time for one, since I can claim it from our company’s flex insurance. I went to the Fullerton Healthcare branch in Ocean Financial Center. I got a bit lost on […]
Bohol, Philippines {Deetour}
I was in Bohol, Philippines, to be a bridesmaid for my friend AA’s destination wedding. The official photos of the event aren’t out yet, so I’ll blog about that later. Let me get to what I did in the two days after that wedding, though. I booked my own room at one of the hotels […]
Have You Ever Eaten a Boiled Banana?
Yesterday I brought a boiled banana to work coz everyone in my multi-cultural team had never had one before and they were like: “Why would you boil a banana?!?!” Apparently it’s just a Philippine thing. 😅 Let me just clarify that we don’t boil the typical banana, just the one called “saba” which is apparently called […]
Accident-Proneness is Genetic
One night, I was watching Drop Dead Diva on Netflix and swooning over Grayson’s beautiful eyes when my left arm slid off my bed headboard and I ended up punching/scratching my own eye. Boy, did it hurt. I thought sleep would make it better, but the next morning, it was still in so much pain. It […]
Coffee Hates Me
So yesterday I went to the clinic. “So why are you here?” the doctor asked me once I was seated in front of him. “For two things,” I responded matter of factly. “One, I got heartburn, right after I drank coffee this afternoon.” He asked me if it was after food and after I responded […]
