I’m ecstatic. We found an HDB flat at the most ideal spot – just a stone’s throw away from two malls, the Hougang MRT station and a bus stop! Nevermind that it’s on the third floor of a building that has no elevators (the exercise will do us good) and that it’s furnished with everything […]
My First Week
It was my first week at a new office. As most first weeks go, this one was quite boring, because there was nothing much to do yet. My boss took us out for lunch on my first day as a welcome to me, and we had Thai cuisine and home made ice cream for dessert. […]
AP Reunion in Singapore
Adette and Cezanne, former officemates in P&G, had their market visit in Singapore this week so we arranged to meet up for dinner. Since they wanted to buy pasalubong, they decided to go to Suntec City Mall, where my office is located (yeah, my office is inside a mall. Talk about tempting.). I led them […]
Happier Birthday
I already had a very happy birthday, but it became even happier when I got this email from April just before I turned in for the night. This was the perfect way to end my day. Thanks so much for the effort, guys. Love you! ***** P&G’s never been the same without you… So we […]
My First OFW Birthday
At the stroke of midnight, Cate greeted me a happy birthday. We were both still up, watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy which was taking forever to buffer online. Just then, Peter called me on YM. When I answered, the other trio of the furious five yell their greetings over cyberspace. After awhile we bid […]
Moving On
Cate and I have moved on…to a new apartment. Rodel helped us bring our stuff there. I still can’t believe that 3 trolleys, a large duffel bag and a foodkeeper fit into the taxi’s trunk! I also can’t believe that cab drivers here charge right down to the last dollar. Accepting anything above the amount […]
Overday
Cate and I decide to invite ourselves for lunch at Gelle’s. They cooked lunch, we brought dessert and drinks. This is the first time we get to see their place which is located in the heart of Singapore’s red light district. The FURIOUS FIVE is reunited, and lunch gets extended to dinner. Can’t wait to […]
Someday
“I know what to get you for your birthday!” Chu tells me, a smiley icon at the end.“Ano?” I ask, pleased. He was coming over to Singapore next week, and since I don’t start work until September 15, I can be with him.“I’m not telling you,” He retorts.“Ok fine. I love surprises anyway,” I reply.“Malaki […]
The Best Benefit
“Wow, congrats!” My voice is louder than usual when it’s tinged with excitement. It’s two months ago, and my housemate Ronald has just told me and our other housemate Maya that he had decided to accept the job offer extended by this other company, after almost 5 years of working in SGV. “Do you want […]
Best Birthday Gift Ever
“You’re way too beautiful girl that’s why it will never work…” Alejandro Manzano croons. My recruiter’s name flashes on my cellphone’s screen, and I quickly pick up the call. “I’m sorry, you didn’t get the job,” she tells me in a clipped tone. “You lost to the other applicant. You got 16 points and he […]
