Boss Ed, my former boss from KPMG in Makati, was in Singapore for a business trip, so we met up for dinner last night. I brought him to Funan Digitalife Mall since he said he wanted to check out gadgets but it closed early at 9pm so he wasn’t able to buy anything. He said […]
One Hell of a Summer
My colleague recently went on reservice training. All Singaporean guys are called by the government to go on military “reservice” training once in a while where they are taught how to be soldiers so that they would know how to defend their country just in case it went to war. I have to say, their […]
Blackie
We have an adopted dog in our company. Apparently one of the neighbors own her, but she’s always at our place, probably because our mechanic always dotes on her and de-fleas her and you know it’s lunch time when you hear him calling out for her in a loud, sing-song voice. “Blackie!” he sure gives […]
Nando’s Peri-Peri Chicken in Singapore
Our favorite peri-peri chicken has taken its roost in Singapore. We loved it so much that we ate it for two meals during our Kuala Lumpur vacation last year. So when Gelle announced that there was now a branch in Bugis Junction, Chi made a last minute invite for dinner there. And by last minute, […]
Yummy Garrett Popcorn
The boss went to Universal Studios Singapore over the weekend and gave me a huge bag of Garrett popcorn when he got back last Monday. It was my first time to encounter this brand. Apparently it’s a popular brand in the US. When I opened the bag, there were two flavors mixed inside – caramel […]
Away We Go to the Picturehouse
Yesterday we finally had one dream come true – we got to see the insite of Cathay’s Picturehouse. A few weeks ago, we had watched The Bountyhunter in The Grand Cathay and got so impressed with the enormous cinema and plush red seats that Arlyn wanted to know what the other special cinema (The Picturehouse) […]
The Return of Ja and Juls
Apparently May is high school batch reunion month because my classmate Janine and my batchmate Julius both came to Singapore for a vacation, though not together. For both, it was our second time to meet them here in Singapore. Ja came here with her bestfriend Marjorie back in 2008 while Julius visited his sister here […]
From LV to Crispy Pata
As usual, it started out as an email. “Guess what Joey got Gelle for their first anniversary! He really saved up for it. He’s so sweet!” I said. “LV?!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! What kind?? Joey’s such a great gifter!!!!!!!!” Chi guessed correctly. I was amazed at how she knew. I mean, I probably wouldn’t have known if […]
The Voter’s Finger
No I’m not giving you the finger. I’m just showing you my indelible ink-stained index finger that proves that I just voted for this year’s elections. In the Philippines, the elections will be held on May 8, but for OFWs we have one whole month to vote – April 10 to May 10. The embassy […]
Guy Gossip: Cars
I’m gonna talk about something that I never thought I’d ever see on this blog ever: cars. I don’t know anything about cars. I never pay attention to them and can’t tell one model from another. It used to frustrate some people when they’ll ask me what kind of car so-and-so drives and I’d just […]
