2018.08.17 – MSC Year-end Party

It’s that once-a-year event when we get to dress up and party to celebrate the end of a fiscal year. This year, the venue was at Marquis Events Place, and we were asked to come in formal attire. The yearend party is also where awards are given to deserving teams and individuals for a job […]

2018.08.16 – Lechon again

Before we talk about lechon, I have a question. Does the word business come from the state of being busy (e.g., busy-ness)? It has been a very busy week at work for me, but I don’t really feel tired or stressed. It’s the good kind of hustle that I have been missing coming from a […]

2018.08.15 – Birthday surprise fail (?)

I woke up with a bit of hangover from the night before. I was initially planning on working from home, but I found out that the team was planning for a late birthday surprise, so I went to the office instead! It’s funny how I found out about it. Our new hire just had his […]

2018.08.14 – College mode

So, I went out with my college friends yesterday. PJ is in town from Cebu (and on his last night), so we went out for our traditional “wanbotts” which is always never just one bottle! Our first stop was dinner at Big Mama (again)! Before stuffing ourselves with food and drinks Big Mama Fried Spicy […]

2018.08.12 – Part 2 – Welcome back Jingkay!

After I got home from playing Pokemon Go, I had a couple of hours to kill before Jingkay arrives from the US. We planned to have a mini reunion dinner before she leaves for Siargao the day after. Because I don’t have social media (FB, IG and Twitter) to kill time with, I decided to […]

2018.08.11 – Chill Saturday

So far, it has been an uneventful weekend, but I welcome the much needed rest. My gout is on its way out (if I may rhyme), and hopefully by tomorrow I can already walk normally. I need to get a haircut and play Pokemon Go (it’s community day) so I will be needing my feet. […]

2018.08.09 – Gout is hell on Earth

My right foot still hurts like hell. I’ve discovered the trigger for this week’s attack and it’s my attempt at intermittent fasting. Apparently, fasting elevates uric acid but the kidney is not able to excrete it because it prioritizes ketones. Umm okay, I got this info off reddit so I don’t know the exact scientific […]

Late Birthday Update

Hey guys! I know I haven’t posted for a long time now. I don’t really have an excuse other than not having any motivation to do anything productive in the past few months. As you may know (or not know), I turned another year older this July! Usually, I do a birthday post that talks […]

My 17 of 2017

The year 2017 was for me, a year of moving on. When my dad passed away last December of 2016, I realized that life is indeed very short and fleeting. I felt a kind of pain that I’ve never felt before – one mixed with regrets, what-ifs, and feeling sorry for myself and the family. […]
