After several tries, I was finally able to get our tickets to the UST-UP and FEU-UE basketball games! Whew. In my each of my previous attempts, all the good seats were sold out and I didn’t want to get crappy ones. I guess that’s the downside of online ticket selling*: all the nice seats get…

Recharge ourselves before another round of shopping at… Mustafa Centre MRT: Little India If the Philippines has offbeat shopping centres like Greenhills and Divisoria, Singapore has Little India. In the daytime, Little India draws crowds into its shops, stalls and restaurants. The smell of…

Make what? If you haven’t heard of poqui-poqui, then you are missing out on one of the best vegetarian dishes in the Philippines. Poqui-poqui (sometimes spelled as poki-poki or puki-puki, haha) is a simple dish. It is basically scrambled eggs with pieces of grilled eggplant. It is like tortang talong, but tastes much better. This…

I only wanted a simple birthday celebration. Simple birthday cakes: And birthday ice cream: And my only other wish is that I would be able to ride Oli Pettigrew’s Cash Cab while in Singapore. But apparently, God has a much better plan for me. Instead of a cab, I got a flying Ford Anglia…
After Louis Vuitton, we went around a few more shops and took in the sights. I really loved this store called The Wright Gift. It is filled with unique-bordering-on-weird items. Like this table with legs. When I go back to SG, I might buy that chess salt-and-pepper set. So beautiful. This restaurant is owned by the…
Last week, Jodith made an album containing old pictures from Watson Wyatt, and I was tagged on a few of them. I browsed through the pictures and realized how many great memories I had of that company. It was simply the best, the most professional and above all, the most fun work environment in my…
So, we resurrected the Photo of the Week or POW over at Japinoy.com. This week’s theme is yuujou 友情, which is the Japanese word for “friendship”. This is the photo I chose: This picture was taken in 2009 at SM Mall of Asia, after we did a review of Sakae Sushi. Pretty old, huh? But…

Despite Singapore being only 3.5 hours away from Manila, I never had the chance to visit it ever. Until last month. Arol invited me to come with her and a couple of her friends (Ray and Joyce). The Boracay trip with Erica did not push through and I did not have anything else lined up.…

Just a quick post from the Lion City. I am in Singapore, for a short holiday with friends. It is my first time in this lovely country and I am enjoying every single minute (I am sure Citibank is, too). We’ve done nothing but eat and shop. Perfect timing for a visit because they are…
I am not exactly a fan of beans. But I take exception with red beans. I love that it is not overly sweet and goes well with coffee or tea. My friend Minnie told me about this ice cream she had over the weekend. It is vanilla ice cream topped with red bean paste and…
Pretty, isn’t it? I’ve always wanted a chocolate fondue set. Then just last week, S&R comes out with a catalog sale, which includes a Hershy’s promo. For every P1,000 purchase of selected Hershey’s items, you get a free Kisses fondue set or a teddy bear. Naturally, I would get the former! Thank goodness, I managed…
It was a very stressful week. We only had to report for work for 4 days but it felt like we were at the office for an entire week. Lunch is always at 3pm. Today is no exception. As I am writing this, we are at Mozu, The Fort. And having beers before heading back…
After recovering from a bout with diarrhea last week, I had too much bananas left over. I didn’t know what to do with them. I can’t throw them away because that would be a waste. I can’t eat them because I am seriously sick of the taste. Then I thought making a dessert out of…
I have been a fan of mysteries since I was a kid. I grew up reading about the adventures of Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and of course, Sherlock Holmes. So when I read about the new BBC series, Sherlock, I just had to watch it. I was pleasantly surprised at the modern spin they…

OK, what am I doing outside on a rainy day like this? I should be in bed, or having yet another Sherlock marathon. Oh well. I guess summer is officially over in the Philippines. Hello, rain! (Taken at The Fort, Global City)
I got a set of nail art pens from Ebay.ph late last year but it is only now that I finally put it to good use. I was a little inspired over the weekend and decided to try my hand at cutesy nail art. So I went ahead and made cherry blossoms! It is a…
![[Japinoy.com] Most favourite Jdoramas on the Monday 9pm timeslot](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/lahijadelsol/getsuku.jpg)
Historically, Jdoramas on the Monday 9pm time slot (aka Getsu-Ku) are always the most anticipated in any season — and the most highly rated. They are even popular outside Japan. The series 101th Proposal, for example, will reportedly be turned into a movie in China. There are so many Jdoramas that have been aired in…
Today, I received an email from Betty Mojica-sensei, my mentor and principal of the Nihongo Center Foundation. She told me that the NCF has partnered with Ensogo (be still my heart, haha) on a groupon deal for Elementary 1 Japanese lessons. What does an NCF elementary 1 course cover? Study of basic grammatical patterns Simple…
