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. […]
How to Cry
Cate worries that her eyes will get all puffy because she has been up all night crying from reading the book New Moon. I did not cry from that book. But I got Bella’s hole in the chest so I had to stop reading it; the pain was too much for me. I eventually got […]
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 […]
College Reunion in Singapore
College classmates and former housemates and officemates (in KPMG) Chu and Zenie, OFWs based in Thailand and Jersey Island, decided to have a short vacation in Singapore. With Rodel, Tyne, Cate and I working here, it resulted to a college reunion in Singapore. Who would’ve ever thought this would happen? Chu flew in first on […]
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 […]
