    Work insights – week 3: My life’s financial wellness

    Yesterday, the office hosted an hour-long talk by Mr. Rogel Morales entitled, “Pera, Pera, Paano ba Gumawa?” and in all fairness, there were a couple of things that I got from it. Such as: Instead of the formula, (Income – Expenses = Savings), it is much better to adapt an (Income – Savings = Expenses) formula for your…

    Bon Appetea is…weird

    There’s this milk tea stall at the food court area at Strata 2000, Ortigas, and last Monday I tried this. It disappointed me that they did not have normal milk tea. Instead, all of their milk teas are flavored. Heavenly Blush flavor I tried the lychee mixed with milk tea, and it tasted sour because…

  • 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

    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

    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

    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…
