I need a bicycle
Posted on March 10, 2010 - Filed Under Lifestyle | 1 Comment
One of the things that I had a hard time leaving in Japan was my bicycle. I no longer know what became of it. My sudden relocation to Singapore didn’t give me enough time to sell it to the bicycle shop. It helped a lot in preventing undesirable bulge in my belly, […]

Singapore has been very humid lately. This means oilier face, thus, I’m having worse acne breakout. How I wish there’s a store here in Singapore that sells Japanese toiletries. I wish I have easy access to the acne serum I used in Japan. Now, I’m shifting from one acne cream to […]

I only have a week to pack my things. Yet, it’s hard to do that because our place is already up for rent, so lots of viewing have been scheduled. Oh speaking of viewing, I was really annoyed to hear from my housemate that someone opened by cabinets! We did view units […]

Two weeks ago, I received a call from a fitness center here in Singapore. I was told that I have been granted free yoga sessions for two weeks, and that I could take along two friends at most. I was also told to bring workout clothes on my first visit. Hearing the […]

It’s been 18 years years since I’ve first worn eyeglasses. At that time, I did not want to but my vision compromised my grades. Even seating close to the chalk board didn’t help. The moment I became four-eyed, people often see me as serious, studious girl, when I was far from being […]

My first visit to a “real” hair salon was six years ago. By this, I mean those salons that are air-conditioned with the comfortable, rotating chairs. Since I was little, I always went with my mother to her hairdresser. That hairdresser did her job at her house. That was when I […]

Since I’ve moved to Singapore, I bought only a single pair of curtains. I wanted to buy one of those faux wood blinds because I want to sleep for as long as I like on weekends. But my curtain holder is just a bit elastic string, not even that good for hanging clothes. […]

I’ve read it somewhere, or somebody has mentioned it to me that it will be more difficult for women to lose weight when they reach 30, and I’m already there! I wasn’t able to make up my new year’s resolution but I definitely have a lot that I want to start working on when I […]

I’m really glad many banks and insurance companies have their website. Before I decided on which bank to open my payroll account with, I scoured the web, made comparisons and decided to choose Citibank. Why? Because for payroll accounts, they don’t require opening deposit! Most banks here require at least S$500. Now […]

I hate to admit it but I’ve recently crossed the border from being in my late twenties to early thirties! I’ve gained a few pounds from the festive holidays so I’ve felt so lazy these past few weeks. But it’s my face that’s always making me feel like I’m in my teens. Not because I […]

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 […]

Have you ever noticed that people who often wear eyeglasses have bigger eyebags? Or is it just because the eyeglasses partly cover the eyebags that the eyebags become very noticeable once the eyeglasses are taken off? I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was 12 years old that I have forgotten if I have […]

Ningas-kugon, a Tagalog idiom that means something that is not permanent, usually connotes a behavior or action not meant to last (definition taken from www.seasite.niu.edu).
“Ningas-kugon” is how I describe my effort in leading a healthy lifestyle. When I was still in Japan, I felt I needed a fitness equipment because it was cold at […]
Gotta pay the dentist a visit
Posted on August 13, 2009 - Filed Under Lifestyle | 6 Comments
How often do you go to the dentist? The last time I had my teeth checked was three years ago. Dentist fee in Japan is so expensive and based on my friends’ feedback, it is not worth it.
Now that our company pays for our dental benefits, it is time for me to take […]

Being the sole breadwinner, I often worry about my daughter and my family in then event that something happens to me (knock on wood three times).
So, I would rather prioritize getting a life insurance for me. One of the insurance companies here in Singapore offers a life insurance with savings. The […]

Singapore could be a paradise to those who love shopping and with extra money to burn, ofcourse. They just had the Great Singapore Sale, which usually happens from June to July. And now because of Singapore’s National Day, there are mega sales everywhere. That’s why I decided to just stay at home […]

When I was still a child, some agents approached my parents to introduce to them some insurance plans. At that time, they didn’t completely welcome the idea. For them and for most of the grown-ups, it is like wishing for one’s death. Most people got offended by the mere mention of life […]

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 […]
