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…

Omakase with family
—
in EatMy fingers are frigging aching after sewing for over an hour (somebody really needs a sewing machine badly. Wishlist. Ahem.) so I’m going to back-log a blog entry while on a break (which might be kinda stupid too, since typing needs exertion from my aching fingers. Trying to avoid using the achey ones right now). The…

Ganso-Shabuway at Greenbelt
—
in EatWent out with some friends tonight and had dinner at Ganso-Shabuway (near Gelatissimo). I’m sure Japanese hot pot is definitely better when you’re in Japan, but I found the beef at Ganso-Shabuway soft and really delicious, so this is still worth the money! I shared a large serving of meat with Angelica, while the boys…

Work insights – week 4: never forget photos can lie
—
in EatI had lunch with my team last week, and we were unlucky enough to be victims of false advertising when we ate at Piadina in Galleria. There is a very obvious lack of greens there. Needless to say, this turned me off Piadina for the most part. It’s a small piece of chicken, horridly overpriced…

Amici (Megamall) with C
—
in EatI ate dinner with C last Monday night, since he was going to Japan for a week-long vacation (what is lucky!) and we ate at Amici at Megamall. We both love fried mozzarella sticks, so we ordered Mozzarella Fritto as an appetizer. They didn’t have Crema de Zucca (which was our favorite soup), so we ended up…

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 3: My life’s financial wellness
—
in LiveYesterday, 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…
