The Da Vinci Code {Movie Review}

by

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, one of the most controversial fiction books of our time, moved on to the next step of all big books — it was made into a movie. But before it could make its way to the big screen, it had to hurdle a lot of impediments along the […]

My First Bridal Shower

by

During an ST conference planning our TL’s birthday surprise, I brought up the idea of throwing a bridal shower for Cris, our bride-to-be teammate. Mich and Jo were quick to agree, and so I sent out an invite to all the women of AP (accounts payable). Since it was last minute and since I have never […]

Happy Birthday Mina!

by

Our TL (team leader) Mina was discussing something with Mich when Jo broke in with a loud “Happy birthday Mina!” We were all startled, because we didn’t know it was her birthday (bad bad team, yeah I know), but we recovered from the initial shock and immediately sang our greetings. Right after Mina thanked us, her […]

Unfinished Business

by

Another project of Performing Musician’s Guild (PMG), an org in our company, is to host voice and guitar lessons. They were both held today, and despite typhoon signal number one, I dragged myself to the office to attend them both. In the morning we had voice lessons. All my team mates (from cluster 3) — Jo, […]

Leader of the Band

by

I must be going back to my old self, the old “laagan” and “never at home” me, I mean. For the third night in a row, I get home way past my bedtime (FYI, I sleep at midnight). Last night, though, was no longer a high school reunion, but somewhat the opposite, because it was an […]

by

I wonder if my horoscope for this week said anything about being bombarded with reunions? Because on two succeeding days the time machine brought me back to High School…that is, on these two days I was reunited with High School friends. But then again why should I believe in horoscopes, when my zodiac sign, virgo, […]

High School Boys

by

My brow was furrowed in concentration while I made my first quality incident analysis report when suddenly, Christian Bautista crooned, “I don’t have nerves of steel, I have a heart that feels. I may have cried a million tears but I won’t drown…” It was my cellphone. I glanced at it and saw the picture […]

Mission Impossible 3 & Fuzion

by

Saturday night found Chu, Maya and me leaving the house just a bit after 10:00 to head for Greenbelt. And our mission? To watch Mission Impossible 3. We were expecting to get into the 11:20pm show or if not, the 11:59 shows. Greenbelt 3 was showing MI3 in 4 out of 5 cinemas. Surely, we […]

Up Close and Personal

by

In this world of technology, it’s now possible to meet people and gain friends without actually “meeting” them the usual way, which is seeing them in person. Hence, in a world where chatmates and textmates abound, it became necessary to coin a term to refer to the moment when these virtual friends would finally meet […]
