I’m out of toiletries among other things, so I asked my mother to send me some from the Philippines.
Here are the things that I often have my mother send me here:
1. dried fish (Bisaya term is “bulad”)
I could find some “bulad” in the supermarkets here but they’re not salty enough.
2. junk foods
I was into “Chippy” […]

I came across NiqueHappy.com, a very interesting website and found these tips for us, ladies, on how to pamper ourselves. Let’s see if we’re already treating ourselves as we ought to…

It’s been more than a month since I’ve posted my last Thursday Thirteen. I’m glad I’ve got the mood to write my list again.
I’ll reveal some of the steps I’ve taken to battle off an enemy for over a decade: acne. I was so desperate (and still am), that I even did […]

Despite the deadline to catch, I sometimes feel so bored and sleepy. How do I usually overcome this? I either drink tons of coffee or observe the people around me. There’s no partition between the desks so it’s very tempting to do this.
Here’s a list of people who sometimes entertain me pique […]

“St. Valentine’s Day in Japan is a day when women give the special men in their lives boxes of chocolate. To balance out the one-sidedness of this practice, White Day was invented for men to reciprocate such gifts. While Valentine’s Day is an imported convention, White Day (on March 14) is a purely Japanese creation.” […]

I am an avid follower of HappySlip’s blog. Recently, she posted this vlog where she shared some “happy tips” and threw these questions:
What makes you happy?
What do you do to make others happy?
I wanted to make a vlog in response to HappySlip’s vlog, but I chickened out. So I’ll just list down my answers:

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Happy day for guys here in Japan because they’ll receive chocolates from the ladies. And no, we are not going to give out “obligatory” chocolates this year to our officemates. There are way too many guys at the office, the budget is low, and most of them are single! […]

I admit that it’s almost impossible to understand women. We don’t usually directly say what we want to say. We expect others, especially the one who’s dearest to us, to “feel” what we really need and want.So, for guys out there, here are recommendations on what to do best when…
1) When she pushes […]

An I.T. job becomes boring when…
1.) All you’ve been doing for over 6 months is read specifications and some were written in a language that you don’t understand!
2.) No “real” deadline to catch, or worse, you don’t even know the project schedule!
3.) No specific role assigned and you don’t have a specific module you can […]

These have been our family’s new year beliefs and practices. But we no longer believe nor observe many of these…
1. Wear something new so that you’ll have many new clothes for the whole year. If you don’t have something new, wear your best clothes.
2. […]

Here my Christmas wishes for those who are closest to me:
1. A trip abroad for my parents. My mother have always wanted to have a passport and a “stamp” on her passport. Also, they haven’t been to a holiday ever. So this would serve as their 30th year honeymoon!
2. Little […]

Time to self-inflict homesickness again, so I scanned through my memory bank for 13 gifts that I could still recall receiving. Truth be told, I haven’t received much “material” gifts from parents and family members because we didn’t really practice buying gifts for family members. But the love our parents shower us is […]

Aside from web mails and blogs, here’s a list of other websites that I often visit:
1.) Like many of the internet surfers, I am very dependent on Google. I have even set it as my homepage, both at home and in the office.
2.) If I’m sure that Google would just give me a link to […]
