I have a confession to make. I am bored with my classes at Alliance Francaise. Not only bored, but also a little disappointed. I am not satisfied with the fact that I still cannot express myself orally using simple sentences. You only get a maximum…
I don’t know how to begin this. I wasn’t expecting anything; I didn’t even have a list of things to do. But some things have a way of sneaking up on you and then you go whaaaaat. I like compliments. But I don’t beg for…
The first team nacho night at Vernon’s apartment was a huge success. On Friday, we had nachos, roast chicken and tons of beer. We didn’t want anything that involved lots of cooking so we bought everything from SM Aura and the only complicated things were…
I had an OK V-Day. At least much better than last year. As I am on the late shift, I went to the gym in the morning. After gym, I got cupcakes for the boys — ahem, men — at work. For Vernon, I got…
How can I say “I love you”? Let me list down 20 ways: 1. Japanese – 好きです (suki desu) 2. Korean – 사랑해 (saranghae) 3. French – Je t’aime 4. German – Ich liebe dich 5. Spanish – Te amo 6. Italian – Ti amo…
Kevin turned the office TV on just in time for us to watch this young man perform. Imagine that: a Filipino figure skater in the Winter Olympics. Yep, 17-year-old Michael Christian Martinez is the sole representative of the Philippines in the Sochi Winter Olympics His…
Almost 3 months into my job as an economic specialist, I got an additional role at work: Tagalog teacher for my boss. As he will be based in Manila for 2 years, he is very keen on learning the language. He is married to a…
I remember watching this episode. That shrill “pansiiiit” call by the habhab vendor, Tado’s fart, making longanisa. God, they used to make great TV before. And Tado and Erning were probably ad-libbing 90% of the time.
Buti pala nakakatulong ang barkada no. Sa iba mong tropa, ganyan din ang ginagawa?
The classic question: “anong maitutulong ng longanisa sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas?” – of course, the word longanisa will be replaced with anything relevant to the episode. Like crayons, for example.
I miss this show and I will miss Tado!
Tado Jimenez, Angel Rivero and Ramon Bautista. The Strangebrew crew is my 2nd most favourite TV trio next to Tito, Vic and Joey. I still remember all those nights spent in front of the TV, laughing my head off at the antics and adventures of…
I never thought that I would find myself in a “manly” bar on a Friday night. The guys decided to bring our boss Vernon to Makati after work for drinks. They know a lot of places but they decided on Handlebar, which is in Polaris…
I have never been the self portrait-taking type. The reason why I am participating in this challenge is because there is a funny pic that I want to share:
You see, this picture is subject to interpretation. It can be any one of the following:
1. My botched attempt at a selfie – and Arol photobombing me
2. A pic of Arol and me
3. A group pic of Cindy, Arol and me
So which one is it?
Fukuyama Masaharu is a musician, actor, radio host, and photographer. He is extremely good looking, very talented and obviously, filthy rich. Men want to BE HIM; women want to DO HIM. Another year yet he remains as youthful-looking as ever. This is 45?! 2014 brings…
Happy 22nd birthday to a great friend! More blessings to you this year — success, happiness, more adventures, more love. I hope you will find that someone who will make you happy — the right cake girl?! Or maybe, the right cake. Whatever makes you…
Last week, our teacher made us write a postcard as a class activity. Just a pretend postcard, addressed to somebody (real or not) living somewhere outside the Philippines. Apparently, the French love to write postcards when they travel. Filipinos rarely do this — why use…
Watch the core of the 1996 UAAP Champions battle it out with the 2006 UAAP Champions in an all-star game (reinforced by other former Tigers). See your favorite Tigers wear the Black-Gold-and-White once more: 1996 Sec. Joel Villanueva Richie Melencio Richard Yee Chris Cantonjos Bal…
Over lunch, my teammates and I were talking about old TV shows and Voltes V came up. We reminisced about Steve, Big Bert and Little John — and of course, the haunting ending theme, Chichi wo motomete (Searching for Father). My favourite line used to…
There isn’t much to report here. Classes just started this week and I have only made a bit of progress with Coffee Break French. As of now, I don’t think I will need to get a paid subscription to the podcast as the lessons are…
Coach Yahcoub initiated me to breaststroke but it was Coach Arnold that made me love it. While most people prefer the backstroke for a relaxing swim, Coach Arnold likes the breaststroke. It gives you the flexibility to go as fast or as slow as you…
I declare that 2014 is the year of le français. I did the first module at Alliance Francais last year, albeit halfheartedly. Maybe it is because I have yet to discover the beauty of French as a language. But eversince purchasing Assimil New French with…
So I took this personality quiz, just for the heck of it. It was pretty long…no matter, I am in good company Some famous INTPs are: Socrates, philosopher Rene Descartes, philosopher Blaise Pascal, mathematician, philosopher Isaac Newton, physicist Carl Jung, psychologist Albert Einstein, physicist James…
This is my first swim lesson in 2014 and my first after a very long absence. I haven’t been attending since I started my job, so naturally, I have forgotten quite a bit. Coach Joan and I had lots to review and correct, like my…
I love Teriyaki Boy’s tofu steak. Can’t blame me. You really cannot resist this dish of crunchy tofu with a savory sauce that has the perfect balance of salty and sweet.I remember that my colleagues even gave me tofu steak for my birthday simply because…
What’s a new year without resolutions? It may be a posting cliché but I am serious (kind of) with my goals this year. Putting things in writing, putting my goals out there gives me more accountability and makes me work harder to achieve each one.…
It was a tumultuous 2013, to say the very least. You did the best you could and God pulled you through. So, here you are, stronger, wiser and more positive than ever. Forget 2013; 2014 is so your year!
A wonderful person like you deserves only the best, and more. More blessings, more adventures, more love…more of everything nice!
PS: I cropped someone out from the left of the second pic. It was a crap someone. 
Dear Santa Claus, This is my wish list. You know the drill. Thank you! Love, Cat For this year, I really want the following: Alyssa Valdez’s abs Grace Park’s shoulders and arms Kate Middleton’s legs Shakira’s butt But I realize how hard it is to…
My 3-month career break finally ended this week, when I started my new job as an economic specialist. I came to the office really nervous about everything: about being late, about fitting in, about meeting the hiring manager again. Soon, all my fears dissipated one…
Here is an email I got this morning and would like to share to inspire people to keep on helping the victims of super typhoon Yolanda. ===================== We’ll Airdrop Food To Far-flung Towns NEWS: From a chartered plane, hundreds of sacks of food and water…

I don’t consider myself a gym rat but last year, I joined the bandwagon and got myself a gym membership. I figured I needed to start working out to be healthier. I got a membership at Gold’s Gym Glorietta. It was a great place: lots…
Yesterday marked the first time in 5 years that I have visited my grandfather’s grave. Because my job required me to work on Philippine holidays, I was never able to pay my respects at the cemetery. But this year I was able to because I…
Life is a choice: if you can’t have all, have some at least.
If you can’t be good, don’t be bad. If you can’t be totally happy, don’t be completely sad. ENJOY LIFE!
