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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

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”, […]

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. […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

During my first weekend here in Singapore, I went to Ikea to buy some bedroom stuff. There was this floor lamp that really caught my eye but it cost S$39, which was and still is expensive for me. Yesterday, a friend and I visited Ikea. I got too ecstatic to find my […]

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 […]
