  • My life is like a pack of Fruit Bowl Jelly Belly

    My life is like a pack of Fruit Bowl Jelly Belly

    I was with C the whole day yesterday, and both of us felt that it was such an amazing day even though we mostly ate, walked around, talked, laughed, and admired exhibits. It was a day of food tripping, window shopping, notebook shopping, and museum-going. (So, just as a warning: this is the longest post…

  • Sonic-screwdriving the Godzilla Burrito

    Sonic-screwdriving the Godzilla Burrito

    I went with some friends to Greenhills last night where we sonic-ed the Godzilla Burrito from Ristras Mexican Grill (J. Abad Santos corner Lopez Jaena, San Juan). I’m not that big a fan of burritos (because I prefer my rice soft), but hey, I wouldn’t mind trying out a giant burrito with a couple of friends.…

  • The NBI Nightmare

    The NBI Nightmare

    I had to get an NBI clearance for employment so I went with Rian on this one-day adventure. It’s so effing surreal, lining up at 3am in the morning for a government-issued certificate sounds so exaggerated until you’ve experienced it yourself. I’m not kidding. I’ve heard a few people have a similar experience (someone who…

  • Boulevard Diner with C

    Boulevard Diner with C

    Ever since I read about Boulevard Diner online (it’s at 23 Xavierville Avenue, Katipunan, QC. If you turn right before McDo, you just turn left at the next corner, then right again, then straight and you’ll find it!) I’ve been trying to get friends to eat with me here, just to try it. Finally, C and…

  • Subspace Coffeehouse with C

    Subspace Coffeehouse with C

    Ever since Valerie of Quietgirl.net blogged about the Subspace Coffee House, I’ve always wanted to visit it. Finally, I got to go there today with C after another job interview! There’s a storm today, supposedly, but for some reason we were lucky enough that while we were walking around Ortigas (we went to the bank…

  • Love is as sweet as baked dried apples

    Love is as sweet as baked dried apples

    Following this recipe, I baked apple chips for the second time. The first time was at C’s, when we made white sauce with white wine pasta (so, I know no better way of calling that), and aaaah, it’s so good. For some reason, apple tastes sweeter after being sliced and baked into chips like this.…

  • Today —

    Today —

    thelastbone: quoting Geoff: If you really want to make time for a person, you’ll stop what you’re doing for work, to be with that person. because we will ALWAYS be busy, and we will always just have to make time.

  • Song Do and Korean Cravings

    Song Do and Korean Cravings

    C and I had dinner at Song Do, El Pueblo, Ortigas which was definitely way better than the Korean disaster on our last Thursdate. Gail recommended the restaurant to me when she pitied us after I told her about that fake Korean restaurant, and we took the opportunity to try it out last night since…

  • When things are too good, they must be true

    When things are too good, they must be true

    My morning started with breakfast with my mom, with whom I always have interesting breakfast conversations with, then thrift-shopping with her afterward. I drove the car (with my dad on the front seat and my mom on the backseat) and really, I’m not that bad with the wheel. Got home past lunch time (alive and in…
