I need appetite control

Posted on June 30, 2009 - Filed Under Health | 4 Comments

Today marks my third month stay here in Singapore! And what have I obviously earned? Two and a half more weight and a bouncier belly. I have started running weeks ago but all that came to an end when I got bored running alone. I don’t want to implement a huge cut on my food […]

Collections

At various points in my life, I have collected things that are supposed to be thrown away or left as it is. When I was about nine years old, a friend and I collected sea shells. We had boxes of them but I could no longer remember where we placed them. I […]

Treat others well

Posted on June 14, 2009 - Filed Under Philippines | 3 Comments

Aside from the news about swine flu, TV Patrol is filled with reports about rallies, corrupt government officials and charter change. I think corruption in the Philippines is really getting worse. Yes, those corrupt government officials have a major role in the worsening state of the country, but before throwing stones at them, […]

Had no idea cable TV shows rock

Iligan City is a small place but I think it already had telephones and a cable TV company in the 1980s. I could still remember tagging along my mother to one of her friends’ house in the “city” to receive a call from my father who was in Saudi Arabia. Our house is […]

Japan taste… almost

Posted on June 10, 2009 - Filed Under Food | 2 Comments

More than two months of stay here and I still keep on babbling about Japan. One of the things I miss most is food. I miss even those food that I can possibly cook, like the tonkatsu (deep-fried breaded pork) and tempura (deep-fried breaded shrimp). Most of all, I miss sushi and […]

Bundles of joy

Posted on June 10, 2009 - Filed Under Family, Shaynna | 1 Comment

It is so good having babies and children around. My father’s death has become more bearable for my mother because of my little Shaynna and my niece, Kiera. At times, they get so moody but they are such great blessings. So sad I have never come to experience and witness Shaynna growing […]

A couple of good news made my day

Posted on June 9, 2009 - Filed Under Philippines | 3 Comments

We have TFC here in the apartment but most of the time, I avoid watching TV Patrol.   It’s so depressing to hear the same bad news again - proven corrupt but never punished government officials, robberies, accidents, swine flu, etc.  But I’m glad I tuned in to TV Patrol today because…

I learned that the Philippine […]

Well, I will not mention here how long I have been in the software development industry. Let us just say, I have had my share of being involved in various custom software development. Because it has the word custom in it does not mean that the process will not take every step […]

Trying to be sporty

Posted on June 3, 2009 - Filed Under Health, Singapore | 1 Comment

Only few of my friends play pingpong. Most of them are into badminton. Why pingpong? Because it is the first sport I learned. Also, playing pingpong was one of those rare occasion when my brother bonded with me during our teenage days. Most of those times though, I had to endure […]

Lunchtime TV shows

The staff lounge at the office has four tables only, but there are more than 200 employees. A large number prefers to eat at the nearest hawker’s (food court). My friends and I prefer to eat at the staff lounge because it is cooler in there. So, when the clock hands strike […]

An advice from a taxi driver

Posted on June 1, 2009 - Filed Under People, Singapore | 3 Comments

Singapore might be a small country but two months of staying here is not enough for me to get familiar with even just the neighboring areas. Yesterday, my housemates and I went to a sports center. I went home ahead of them because I was supposed to meet a friend and I was […]
