Time flies faster at work
—
in LiveOne of the biggest differences of college life and “work life” (where I suppose I should start feeling a little more adult now that I’m earning money and have a regular (corporate) desk job, but the fact that I don’t really is a different story) is that time seems to fly faster. Some days it feels…

That one whirlwind romance
—
in LiveI believe in the whirlwind romances, and not just because I’ve been in one. While a lot of people believe in approaching relationships with a lot of caution and with the safety-net of knowing a person for a much longer period of time, I don’t really believe in lessening risks (or having greater certainty) just…

A carnivorous 31st
—
in EatHad a halloween dinner with a few friends at Cafe 1771 for the 31st, and I tried to go as River Tam, from Firefly. Too bad none of them have watched Firefly before, because only I got what made my clothes still sort-of River’s. Getting Zacky curious and interested in the series gives a point…

The first time for office halloweens
—
in LiveThe last time I celebrated Halloween (and went trick-or-treat-ing) was in high school. That sounds…kinda sad. So I felt incredibly lucky that at my first job, I got into a company that had such a fun culture that everybody just took that extra effort to turn the whole office into a haunted house complete with…

Midnight Mercato
—
in EatDon’t get me wrong. I don’t mind pigging out, but 10PM – 12MN is really not the healthiest time to go for a food-trip, unless, well, you have the metabolism of a hyperactive 10-year-old (or if you exercise regularly). Which I just obviously don’t. So I just try to watch what I eat (and how…

UCC with Gail
—
in EatThere’s a UCC Vienna Cafe at Podium, right across my office, so C and I have always wondered what the food in there was like (we’ve never eaten inside). Now I know. Expensive! Haha. And overpriced, for my frugal tastes.

Old Oven Art Cafe
—
in EatAfter seeing this post on the Old Oven Art Cafe, C and I decided to check it out and have dinner there last night. (It’s still past Katipunan Ext., across Pan de Americana, between BPI and Savemore). To put it in production terms (old habits!), the place was really PD-ed (production-designed). They made it look real…

It was never about deserving
—
in PonderFor almost a year now I’ve struggled with the idea of being deserving of some things. Deserving goodness, deserving happiness, deserving love. Being blamed and getting called names by people whom I used to think of as, at the very least, “old friends” was the worst and most painful (and freshest) memory I have of college.…

Kielbasa from Earle’s Delicatessen
—
in EatI’m sort-of on a diet mode (I say sort-of because I get pressured by other people to eat more sometimes, plus I still haven’t banned milk tea from my life) so last week I had lunch at Earle’s with C (the one at Emerald Avenue, Ortigas). He treated me to the Asian salad, which I…
