  • Hainanese Chicken and more at EAT!

    Hainanese Chicken and more at EAT!

    I don’t know how many people know about EAT! at Esteban Abada Street in the Katipunan area (the street behind McDo). I only learned about it when Peter brought me and C to eat there around March, but apparently it’s been there since forever. I ate there only two times after that, and we went…

  • Work insights – week 2

    Work insights – week 2

    1. Junk food is so tempting…AND addicting. Some people from the office sell food in our pantry, and it works through honesty policy: choose what you want to get (chips, instant noodles, chocolates, cookies, packed lunch, etc.) and then write your name. After a month, the person selling those things will go around the office…

  • Baon Series 1

    Baon Series 1

    Well, when you’ve been having lunch out for the last week, you’ll end up running out of money — like me! So today I had baon. I don’t know what it’s called but it has ampalaya (bitter gourd) and shrimp (not sure of the little bits are meat or egg). I am so addicted to tomato…

  • Work-day lunch date

    Work-day lunch date

    So, my fear of getting fat doesn’t stop me from pigging out when I want to try out good food. Unfortunately, this is also why I won’t save much money (at least for the first few weeks of work, while I still am in the middle of trying out every restaurant and food I have…

  • Stackers vs. Burger Avenue

    Stackers vs. Burger Avenue

    So the first week of work was still filled with getting treated out for good food by a lot of people, and for some reason I’ve had two burgers in one week already. If we consider how I just ate at Boulevard Diner at the end of July, and how all the movie dates I’ve…

    Work Insights – week 1

    I just had my first week of work, and there are some things (which are nonsensical at times) that I’ve realized after this first week: 1. Work makes me exhausted. Not even tired. EXHAUSTED.  I don’t even do anything tedious, and I’m definitely just sitting on the desk 95% of the time, but the only…

  • Shi Lin with the team

    Shi Lin with the team

    On my second day of work, my supervisor treated the UI Team (well, there are three of us :P) out for lunch where we ate at Shi Lin at PODIUM. I like Chinese food, so the lunch as a whole was very filling and I’d go back just for their Taiwanese tofu. Man, typing that down…

    Tired bee

    Saying “I have no time” is such a lame excuse and I’m proud to say that this week had been a week of making time for friends and family, despite the additional eight hours of work each day. I’ve been having lunches and dinners with different people every day, and I’m actually tired of feeling…

    Worky Worky

    I started my first day of work at Chikka yesterday (as User Interface Designer) and I’m blogging at seven-fifty in the morning because even though I didn’t do much at the office, I was just so tired and sleepy (but I guess waking up at 4.30am because of a nightmare has to do something with…
