For years, I’ve been considering of getting a degree in Business Management or even more particularly, Business-Information Technology Management. In the present company, and I think for all IT companies, the only two options presented before us are: to become a techie expert or go into the management side. I have no […]

When I went home to the Philippines for Shaynna’s birthday, I took advantage of the airline website’s seat selector. I love being seated next to the window but I don’t want to be seated right next to the plane’s exit signs and doors. So I chose the seats right in front of the […]

Sentosa is like the playground of all the visitors and residents of Singapore. I’ve heard a lot about it and my friends kept bugging me to go there. I got curious, but I planned to go there only when Shaynna comes over for a visit. Fortunately, a college batchmate gave me a […]

It’s almost December. I am really anxious about this year’s Christmas. I’m excited because Shaynna is already 5 years old, so I could enjoy Christmas with her. But I don’t want January to come because I’m gonna be 30! I don’t even have a complete list of what I want to […]

When I went home last October, some of my bonding moments with Shaynna are spent doing arts: color books, spread Manila paperon the floor and doodle anything, paper crafts, etc. Then there was this set of watercolors that was a freebie when I bought her milk. As soon as we got home, […]

When I was a child, I loved Christmas because I love receiving gifts! I always look forward to what my parents prepared for me. Though due to financial constraints, I didn’t always receive gifts from my parents. But still, I was happy. My godparents live far from my hometown so I […]

Together with the other Filipinos in the office, we are having our Christmas dinner and exchanging of gifts Thursday next week. I’m so excited but I am still not sure what to give to my “manito”. I wish I had to give a gift to a female, at least I will have a […]

Tuesday morning, I awoke to Arashi’s “Wish”, my ringtone. It was my mother, and her worried voice clearly made me brace for another alarming news: my cousin and close friend had been in (birth) labor for three days! She was admitted to a public hospital in Ormoc City. The doctor advised to […]

As I am approaching the 30’s (OMG!), I am trying very hard to start a healthy lifestyle. And yes, I am desperately trying to control weight gain. Here in Singapore, I no longer feel much pressure of losing weight because a lot of people are obviously bigger than me. There are times […]

I have suffered acne outbreak since I was in my teens. Some people said that acne disappears after giving birth. My daughter is now 5 years old, but I’m still struggling with my acne problem. I have shifted from one acne treatment cream to another. The only one proven to be […]

Singapore is very small. Perhaps, smaller than Lanao del Norte? During my first few weeks here, I thought that “malling” is all people could do on weekends. If one has the finances, then he might want to board a ferry to Indonesia, or take a bus to Malaysia.
But ever since I’ve started […]
Who says I don’t miss the sunny days?

I’ve already made peace with the fact that the weather here doesn’t to turn into something like the early autumn in Japan. It was so sunny and so humid here when I arrived in March that I longed for the rain. My friends told me to wait for November or December. And […]

Months ago, I’d been playing badminton with colleagues. I am not really a fan of badminton. I prefer to play pingpong, maybe because it’s the first sports that I could really play. I’m far from good, but at least I could hit the ball. That’s why each time I wait for […]

Christmas starts very early in the Philippines that the only mall in Iligan City have already put up their huge Christmas tree when I came home last October. It’s in the center of that mall. It’s not as grand as the ones in gigantic malls in the country but it is still very […]

I take the bus daily to and from work. I like taking the bus because I have a higher chance of grabbing a seat than in the trains. But I seem to perform a balancing act each time I get on one. The driver only waits for a passenger to settle down […]

It’s November and it’s autumn! That’s why I have been missing Japan a lot lately. I may have not tried out outdoor fireplace because I lived in the city. And it’s pretty obvious that kotatsu is more famous in Japan than fireplaces. But I really miss the cool, crisp air. […]

My father left us more than a year ago. It is still as painful as if it happened yesterday. I know that my mother is suffering the most, but the two children at home make her burden a lot lighter. It gets so noisy most of the time but there’s joy. […]
