Getting the Chicken Pox Vaccine

by

I don’t understand why I became such a scaredy cat when I became an adult. When I was a kid I was not at all afraid of injections. Doctors and dentists even used to praise me for being a brave kid because I didn’t cry when I got my first teeth pulled out or when […]

Ten Peso Promos

by

Last night I had a long overdue chat with my bestfriend back home. We used to burn the phone lines all the time back when we were still both in hometown. But since I left, this was no longer possible due to expensive long distance rates. That is, until, PLDT saved us and launched the […]

Housemate Bloopers

by

Funny thing happened to a couple of my roommates yesterday morning. One noticed that her towel was wet even though she hadn’t used it yet. Turns out that in her haste, our other roommate had used the wrong towel! Both were color blue and hung over the same bed railings, that’s why. But that’s not […]

Happy Birthday Shai!

by

It was our college classmate Shai’s birthday on March 3, so the day after that she invited us to a celebration in Padi’s Point, Novaliches, somewhere far away we’d never been. Since there were four of us (Chu, Maya, Zenie and me), we decided to take a taxi. We got there at promptly 9pm, but […]

Zenie’s Happy Hearts Day

by

Last year was a special valentine’s day, if not for me, then at least for one of my friends, and I was happy enough. Zenie’s boyfriend John had contacted me and asked for my help. He was in their hometown Basilan so he couldn’t give his valentines gift personally, so he asked if I could […]

Girls Night Out

by

Last week we were supposed to have a girls night out that didn’t push through because some people got loaded with work. Well last Friday, without any formal plans, it finally did. It was supposedly just a movie, but Kes and Drew and I thought it would be a good idea to go beyond that, […]

Childhood Memories

by

Over lunch we were once again experiencing stomachache not from food poisoning but too much laughter. Somehow our conversation got steered to kiddie games and they were all amazed at all the game chants/songs I knew which they had never heard before. They said, “talented pala ang mga taga Mindanao, no.” I was the only […]

Common Topics and Realizations

by

Whenever we housemates gather around the dinner table, infront of the tv, or in the bedroom, we always find something to talk about. I just noticed that some topics are usual. Like when we gather round the table to eat, expect either of two topics to emerge. The “I can’t believe I used to hate […]

Yoga

by

Last night I tried out yoga just out of curiosity. It wasn’t easy to stretch yourself to the limit and at times attempt to twist yourself into a human pretzel then lift yourself, in said form, off the ground (I wasn’t able to, actually). But what was weird was how, at the end of the […]
