In the Heights in Manila
—
in LiveI watched In the Heights (Manila, by Atlantis Productions) last night with C and a couple of friends. The play’s about these characters living in Washington Heights — immigrants mostly, who are in a poor community but struggles to get by and dreams of moving upward. C has made me listen to the music from the…

Where is my morning sugar?
—
in LiveEvery time I have to make my brain run a coding marathon, I just crave for sugar. Which was why my sugar sheep cookie was gone in an hour last Friday, despite my efforts to hide it in the drawer after each bite (a futile attempt to prolong its life). aria can’t remember giving me the…

The worst and best of baking
—
in LiveI like to bake, but like everything else in life, it comes with a lot of ups and downs. Like failed bake sessions. I tried to bake Ferrero Rocher cupcakes last week but only got the cupcakes part right. No gauche, and a horrible mess of an icing. It was so horrible, I can’t even…

A very late September the first
—
in LiveIt’s been a week since I last blogged and oh gawd, despite the fact that this week started with a “holiday” (and I didn’t even have plans then), I feel too tired right now that it’s so unfair C feels great (he’s supposed to be the tired one).

Work insights – week 2
—

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…

Work Insights – week 1
—
in LiveI 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…

Tired bee
—
in LiveSaying “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
—
in LiveI 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…
