I had a funny encounter in Facebook today. Apparently I am acquainted with two people from different parts of the world who have the same first and last name. Well, nickname, actually, since the guy is named Roel and the girl is named Rowena. What a funny coincidence though.
Another Marriage Proposal
Here we go again! I’ve been avoiding logging into Skype to get away from pervs and weirdos, but when I finally log in again today to talk to Tina, I got another one: Below are some of the weirder opening lines I’ve encountered and ignored from different social networking sites. “Hey I saw your profile […]
Banana Cue and Barbeque Day
Gelle has always said that she has never tried banana cue the ZC way, as she put it, that is, having them grilled and slathered with margarine and sugar, so we thought about making some at home. Unfortunately we could not find any saging na saba in the market or the grocery stores, but luckily, […]
Recession Victim
“I need to have a quick word with you.” These words are seemingly harmless enough and should not have sliced into my heart and caused me to send off this text message to my friend Cate with trembling hands: “My boss wants to talk to me. I’m nervous about this.” My fears were not unfounded, […]

It Starts Today
I’ve been letting myself go this year despite my so-called new year’s resolution and gained some a lot of weight. Since my self confidence is indirectly proportional to my fats, let’s just say that sometimes it feels like High School all over again for me. I’ve been putting this off for so long now, always […]

We had a belated birthday celebration for Chi at Marche in Vivo City last night. Marche is a swiss restaurant that has several clusters of cooking stations that you have to visit to get your order, and each time you order, your food card gets swiped, and you will pay it at the counter. There […]
