2018.09.17 – 月曜日 – WFH / Sick Brother

This will be a short one because I didn’t really do much today, other than WFH and tend to my sick brother. My brother’s fever got worst, which made me decide to stay at home instead of go to the office. He didn’t want to go to the hospital either so I had to watch […]

2018.09.16 – 日曜日 – Brother’s Birthday Salubong

Sunday’s main event is my brother’s birthday Salubong. We had a lot of things planned, like go to a buffet for lunch or dinner, maybe hit the casino after, or just go for drinks. None of that happened because my brother got sick. We were already at Century City Mall for unlimited Korean barbecue (dinner) […]

2018.09.15 – 土曜日 (Saturday)

Saturday is here and for a change, I stayed out for most of the day. Well, outside the house, but inside a mall because it was still raining like crazy outside. I just chilled at the newly renovated Powerplant Mall in Rockwell with Ralph and Ivan. We had late lunch/early dinner at Sumosam after so […]

2018.09.14 – JLPT N3, Utada Hikaru Lottery

JLPT N3 I hate myself! I totally forgot that yesterday was the deadline for the JLPT N3 exam application (for this December). To be honest, I haven’t really prepared for it, too. I told myself when I skipped it last July that I’ll resume my studies – and have even quit social media for it […]

2018.09.13 – Just another day

This week flew by so fast. Doing daily blogs but not having anything worth talking about is difficult. Today was just another day spent at work. I guess the highlight would be having my favorite coffee after lunch – Arabica’s Iced Latte (switched to Soy) is my favorite cup of coffee. It’s expensive and comes […]

2018.09.12 – Work from home

Wow, it has been a long time since my last work from home. This was mainly because of transitions and sort of adjusting to the new role. Since I only had one meeting today, I decided to take advantage and work from home. In the living room, I turned on my Christmas lights, put on […]

2018.09.11 – Pho Hoa/My Thai Dinner

This will be short because I am sleepy already. It was a long day at the office – partly because I had a spontaneous catch-up dinner with Debbie and Jolo. We dined at the new branch of Pho Hoa/My Thai, located at the ground floor of our office building! As can be deduced from the […]

2018.09.09 – Circuit Makati

My brother woke me up super early today – like 5:30 in the morning – for breakfast! I got up and prepared some coffee and just chilled like one would on an early Sunday morning. After breakfast, I basically just stayed in my room and spent time on the blog, watched videos on YouTube, but […]

2018.09.08 – Big Mama & Crepe Amelie

My brother woke me up at 8 in the morning to have some breakfast. Both of us have a hangover from the night before, but he had it worse than me and prepared breakfast, so I had to oblige. I got up, ate, and went back to sleep after because I was still so sleepy. […]

2018.09.07 – Good Earth Roasts (TCO Mini Reunion)

Friday night turned out to be a pleasant surprise with an unexpected mini-reunion of old TCO friends in one of my favorite bars in Manila. But first, Rico’s! Andrew invited Ron and myself to Diageo’s open bar, but he had to accompany Faye for a check-up, so we ended up taking a raincheck on the […]
