My friend Neil asked me to buy some Alavar sauce for him when he found out that I was going home for the holidays. Then I went to Ateneo de Manila University to deliver it to him, because he’s a professor there and that’s where he lives. He met me at the Araneta center and […]
Company Christmas 2007
Our company felt the Christmas spirit starting the first Friday of the month, when our Christmas bonus and baskets were distributed to every eligible employee. We got a trolley jampacked of food, a couple of hams, and a bagful of P&G products. I was wondering how I was supposed to get all those home to […]

Laoag, Ilocos Norte {Deetour}
Laoag was about two hours away from Vigan, and we checked into Fort Ilokandia hotel.

On November 2, Gelle and I rode a plane to Tuguegarao, where we were met at the airport by Kes and her friend JL. They drove us to Keso’s house, and on our way there, we discovered that the L in JL’s name stands for Lesli and so Gelle decided that we would call him […]
Basketball Bonding
San Miguel was my favorite PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) team back when I was a child because of Samboy Lim aka Skywalker.

It’s Yen’s birthday today but since it’s a holiday, we decided to plan her surprise for Thursday.
