It may not be obvious to everyone who knows me well, but I’m actually a shy person… when I’m a newbie. If you don’t believe me, just ask the AP folks in P&G when I was a newbie. My teammates actually asked me, “Tahimik ba talaga ang mga taga ZC?” (Are people from ZC really […]
A Student Again
Ok here I go again. Another first day. First day at school, so it seemed. I started my new work today, and we’re in training for three days. Today’s session reminded me of my Accounting classes. Actually, I didn’t like the subject of equities back then; I preferred assets. So I was slightly afraid of […]
Pigging out in La Noce and Sakura
Yesterday, I had a date with my fellow riddler Ngangi. It started when we met up at Tiong Bahru Plaza to ride a cab to one of her favorite haunts, an Italian restaurant called La Noce. It was just supposed to be a five minute cab ride away… if the cab driver knew where it […]
You are Diverse, Singapore
The beauty of Singapore is in its diversity – especially when it comes to food. Just check out the different kinds of food that I had this week, for example. First up: Nasi Lemak, a Malaysian dish which is common enough in most hawker places but which I’ve never tried in the almost two years […]
Bonifacio and Marina Bay Sands
Chu is here for a business trip, so we his college friends met up with him for lunch and dinner last Saturday. We had lunch at Kabayan in Lucky Plaza then walked around Orchard helping him chase after the elusive iphone 4, to no avail. We were so exhausted that Cate and I fell asleep […]
At Marriot with AP, Manila Chapter
After bonding with Drew, I got my things and packed them and myself in a cab headed to Marriott Hotel in Resorts World Manila. I didn’t know there was one! Resorts World, that is. This was my second time to stay at Marriott hotel with AP folks, though the first time was in Singapore. This […]
Janice in Singapore
My high school classmate and Chi’s bestfriend since childhood, Janice, came to Singapore for a vacation. She’s currently residing in Japan with her husband. Last week we had dinner with her at the usual place, Makansutra. The moment she sat down, fireworks shot off in the sky, and we joked that we had requested this […]
Basyang and the Blackout
The second day of my Manila vacation began with us leaving Keso’s bridal shower to be met by the howling wind and rain falling in sheets – it was typhoon Basyang, who was so strong that she singlehandedly brought down Meralco (the electric company). Right after Keso dropped me off at Caloy’s place, there was […]
What I Do When I Wake Up and Can’t Go Back to Sleep
…blog. I always give Ivan’s number to customers, so I don’t know why I never noticed this. I am so blind sometimes. @.@ In other office news, it was Joey’s first day at work today. He’s taking over my role. Well, a third of it. The boss said he hired two aunties (his words, not […]
Back in the Philippines Day 1
After 15 months, I once again set foot on my home country. My flight was at midnight so I got little sleep because there’s no way to get a restful sleep while sitting upright in a very cold plane. We landed at around 4am and after checking out, I looked for a cab to take me […]
