Happy Birthday to me!

Last week, I turned another year older. At this point, age is really becoming just a number. Deep in my mind and my heart, I don’t feel like I’ve grown up much. Although I can’t deny the following signs of aging: I can’t drink as much as I used to, or my body takes an […]

Weekly recap (May 28 – June 3)

Here are the highlights of the week that was: Crazy karaoke at Megapro with LMN friends. This was supposed to be for Rep’s despedida but she was tired and sleepy. We still pushed through and sang/drank like it wasn’t Monday the next day. Jolo’s birthday salubong at Rue Bourbon. Got drunk after 3 bottles of […]

How to not lose friends on Social Media

Your social media account is your own space – I agree to that. But just like your life is yours to live how you want, you still need to consider the impact of your own action to the people around you. If I don’t believe in deodorants as a person, I would still think twice […]

Boracay Beach Wedding – #DeeNewlyWeds

I’m sorry for the long break – it has exactly been a week since my last post. I attended a wedding of a friend in Boracay last week, so that disrupted my blogging schedule. It was a lovely wedding by the beach – and I got to meet up with old friends. We had a […]

Buendia Extension

The old office’s back alley, where me and my friends used to get our afternoon snacks. Squid balls, hotdog, and kwek-kwek. There are also two jolly-jeep stalls that sell cheap meals and bananacue. Also known as “creek side”, this small street is super busy on the weekdays, and super quiet (haunting, even) on the weekends. […]

Sweaty Hands & Feet

I’m sitting on my desk, typing at my computer, the air conditioning blowing cold air straight at me – but my hands and feet are still sweating like crazy. As a student, I hated writing because my paper or notebook always ends up soaking wet. I had to insert another sheet of paper, or a […]

Weekly Recap (May 8-14)

I’m sorry for being a day late, but as promised, here are my highlights of the week (May 8-14): I have been going to work earlier than usual, so that I could also go home earlier. My friend (Ralph) and I were able to consistently get to the office by 7AM, and leave for home at […]

I Suck at Daily Blogging

I know, I know.  Even at studying for my upcoming exam this July. Just this week, I’ve blocked my calendar for these two main activities that I need to accomplish on a daily basis. I wasn’t able to follow this schedule the past two days, though! I’m still hopeful – slow progress is better than […]

Black Saturday in Makati

Holy Week is one of the longest consecutive holidays in the Philippines. A lot of us take advantage of the free time by going home to the province, staycation at a beach resort, or even travel abroad. Most of the times, I go home to Cebu. This year, I just stayed put in Makati. My […]

Roses are red, horses are too…

Valentines Day. The day when a clear line is drawn between people who are single and those who are taken.  Social media is infested with photos of flowers, chocolates and dinner dates. But, that’s not the only way to celebrate Valentines. While some of us have dates, some of us get drunk. After 6 1-liter bottles […]
