Bath or shower?

Posted on July 31, 2009 - Filed Under Things I love | Leave a Comment

Are you a bath or a shower person? I’ve grown up without having a bath tub at home so I hadn’t been exposed to the supposed comforts of soaking in a tub until I was sent to Japan. I had my own room and own bathroom with a tub. I tried a […]

On Cleanliness

Posted on July 30, 2009 - Filed Under Lifestyle, Movies | Leave a Comment

With the rising number of AH1N1 cases, occasional reports of food poisoning, personal hygiene must be observed at all times. I just hope everyone shares this same interest specially when using public utilities and when in public places. The first reason why I don’t really like taking the MRT is that it is […]

Hanging out with the ladies

Posted on July 25, 2009 - Filed Under Friends, Singapore | 3 Comments

I admit I got bored here in Singapore during my first few weeks. I was used to being busy on weekends in Japan that I sort of freaked out when left with nothing to do on weekends. Singapore could be boring if you do nothing about it. The most important step I […]

If only I could buy one now

Posted on July 24, 2009 - Filed Under Things I love | 1 Comment

Did another visit again to the websites of some automobile distributors in the Philippines. If only I have at least enough to buy a Toyota Innova, I want to buy one now! Maybe because of the economic slowdown that there’s a decline in sales, and now they are trying to attract customers not […]

Hitting two birds with one stone

Posted on July 23, 2009 - Filed Under Health, Lifestyle | Leave a Comment

I have been babbling about weight loss pills over and over again. But finally, I am happy with myself for overcoming three consecutive days of laziness and boredom. I have finally taken up my running shoes again and been running/walking a total of almost 3 kilometers per day. I know this is such […]

Where did I get these photos?
They do resemble Manila to me. We had the chance to visit a friend staying at a condo near the Al-Junied station. Above is what you see from the 17th floor. I wish I had a good camera, I could have taken a night shot. I […]

Singapore loves Japan

Posted on July 21, 2009 - Filed Under Singapore | 2 Comments

During my first few days here, I saw those ads at the MRT stations about Uniqlo opening at the mall near my place. When the new mall opened, so did Uniqlo, a Japanese grocery store, and a couple of Japanese restaurants. A friend told me that Singapore loves almost anything that is “Japanese”, […]

On health insurances

Posted on July 20, 2009 - Filed Under Health | Leave a Comment

As what I have often been told, I should take good care of myself. When I was in still in Japan, I religiously took my vitamin C. After all, prevention is the best medicine. I worked for a small company then, so the benefits including the health insurance, was not that good. […]

Surprise movie, anyone?

Posted on July 14, 2009 - Filed Under Movies, Singapore | 5 Comments

Have you ever bought a movie ticket without knowing the title nor the genre? I have not. But I had the chance to go to the movies without any clue as to what the movie was all about.
A friend in the office got sick and she gave me her ticket to […]

My daughter needs a car

Posted on July 13, 2009 - Filed Under Shaynna | 1 Comment

I don’t have a car and I am far from having one, but here I am looking at websites checking out cars, SUVs, trucks, truck accessories, etc. Okay, let us just pretend that I have won millions of pesos. I would definitely buy a car not for my own comfort, when I stay […]

Hokkaido in Singapore

Posted on July 6, 2009 - Filed Under Food, Japan: exposed | 1 Comment

I miss the “real” Japan taste, so I was ecstatic when I received a flyer about the Hokkaido Fair at the Tampines Mall from July 3 to 12. I dropped by last weekend and the venue was crowded.
The usual comment that I heard from the customers? “It’s not so cheap.” If you’re […]

Weight gain alert

Over the past few days, I’ve been eating like a pig. I’ve had complete meals but had heavy snacks in between. When I underwent a medical checkup for an insurance policy, I was not surprised to find out that I am now 2.5 kilograms heavier than when I first stepped foot here in […]

Purple Place

I don’t want to expose Shaynna to kid-unfriendly TV shows and computer games. But I guess she also needs to be exposed to such things. I am just so glad that she has learned self-discipline on her own.
I visited XBox website and found some family-friendly games like Ice Age! I still have […]

Relaxing Treat

Posted on July 1, 2009 - Filed Under Health, Lifestyle | Leave a Comment

I have never pampered myself before that I have not even tried putting on a facial mask. When my good friend Akane-san visited Korea, she gave me some facial masks. That was March and due to my hectic schedule, I was not able to try it. I now have extra time to […]
