XIN NIAN KUAI LE! Ever since celebrating my first legit Chinese New Year in Singapore, I’ve come to appreciate Chinese New Year as more than a day off work and have actually looked forward to CNY season. However, being back in Manila and not being Chinese (although my 6.4% Mainland China Chinese and 7.1% Broadly…
I’M THIRTY!!! (FLIRTY AND THRIVING??)
SO THERE IT IS, THE BIG 3-0. One of my good friends, Arnold, said my hashtag should be #thirtyflirtyandthriving in honor of the movie 13 Going on 30. I laughed and said no way, coz a) CLICHE and b) THIRTY, yes.👵🏼 FLIRTY, always.💃🏻 But THRIVING? That’s the big question mark. There are days that I…

TAKES MY BODY HIGHER
{Temt top, H&M pants, Zara bag, CLN sandals} Oh my God, what happened to July!? It REALLY whizzed on by! Who would’ve thought that we’d see Hiddleswift and Kim’s exposé!? Hahahaha Just kidding. That’s not the path I’d want to go into for this (long overdue) blog post. But if you wanna discuss it, feel free to…
WISHFUL DRINKIN’
Friday, Friday, FRIDAAAAY! Since it’s the beginning of the weekend, I thought I’d share with you 3 drinking spots worth checking out in Singapore. Because, Friday! But first, to get you in the mood, and because I’m listening to it right now, this song – I just wanna dance, I feel gooooooood ♬ AY, WAIT. The below…
AFTERNOON TREAT: CHOCOLAT CHAUD FROM ANGELINA
Day 3 of being unemployed, and I am actually feeling productive. Have been cooking meals, have done batches of laundry (and tidied up!), and my boxes have just arrived which means I should be packing soon. I am hoping my productivity streak will flow over into packing because to be honest, looking at these 2…
SINGAPORE BRUNCH FILES: SELFISH GENE, PRIVE, MARMALADE PANTRY
Because brunch is such a big thing here in Singapore (I’m not complaining, I LOOVE IT!), I figured I’d post about some eateries I’ve visited and share my honest reviews in case you happen to be in the area or you know, you need new brunch spots. Bon appétit! 1. Selfish Gene Cafe @ China Town Nestled…
MARINA MANDARIN STAYCATION PHOTO DIARY
Every time my mom visits Singapore, we dedicate at least a night for a hotel staycation. I’ll be the first to tell you that Singapore hotels are sooo expensive, especially when I convert it to Philippine Pesos, but there really is nothing like plopping into a very comfortable bed, preferably after a good bubble bath,…
THE BEST OF ME
Here’s a confession, I sometimes wonder if this is it. Or accurately, what if that was it. Was that it?! I look back on the previous years, see my huge ass smile in Timehop (or Facebook memories) and worry that I’ve already lived the best years of my life. Nothing wrong with cherishing the past,…
CEBU’S BEST KEPT SECRET: KANDAYA RESORT
Whoamygod. I can’t believe it’s been a year since my #MAYcation (aka: that time I took a month off work, went to New York, Cebu, and attended my best girl’s wedding in Manila). Even harder to believe is that my May Day Playlist is 2 years old! WHAAAT. Time flies, man. Anyway, you’re probably like, “Stop…
ONCE ON THIS ISLAND
It was soooo hot in Singapore today that I wished I could just submerge myself in water. Sadly, I have no tub nor pool and going all the way to Sentosa doesn’t really promise a dose of vitamin sea. So after grocery shopping (I am finally committing to doing right by my lung-infected self’s call…
