I should be sleeping. But somehow I feel that if I sleep, I’ll lose momentum (of what exactly, I don’t know) or that I’m wasting daylight (nightlight). I’m being haunted yet again by the desire to do so many things. I’m considering continuing my French classes but if I go to my previous school, I’ll…
DESSERT AND COFFEE IN NEW YORK CITY
“Let’s have coffee or something!” is my go to phrase when trying to schedule catch up sessions or even meetings. I mean, how can anyone say no? The coffee and dessert combo is only bested by coffee, dessert and good company. That “company” need not be another person, sometimes it can be yourself or a book. …
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…
MEET ME AT THE MET
I’ve finally come to the last of my New York 2015 posts. It took me less than a year, yay! Haha! My standards have dropped, man. But it’s okay, I’m working on my backlog. Anyway! Today, I’ll be sharing with you “How I Met”, or specifically how my solo trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art was. Instead of doing…
AN AFTERNOON AT MOMA
When I was typing up this blog post, I almost wrote that it was my favorite spot in New York. Top of the Rock was amazing, but the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) edged it out by 0.00001 points. It was exactly my kind of museum and not only was I surrounded by great, legendary works, it…
AT THE TOP WITH THE EMPIRE STATE
Some people do things for recognition. Some do it for personal fulfilment. Some do it for money. Some do it to pursue passions. Some do it for all of the above. Whatever you do it for, do it well and whole-heartedly. Understand that sometimes the recognition you are looking for will not come from someone…
HEYROCKETGIRL DOES CHRISTMAS
Wheeee! It’s a month to Christmas! My absolute favorite season. 🙂 Not only do I get to binge on Starbucks’ Toffee Nut Frappuccinos, I get to play Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe shamelessly too. Awww yeah! But aside from these, I love that Christmas means spending time with my loved ones. Ever since moving to Singapore, I realized…
WHITE SANDS’ CAR BOOT SALE & FLEA MARKET
One thing I miss about living in Manila (and vacationing in New York) is rummaging through racks and piles of pre-loved stuff. Whether it’s ukay, Bloggers United, or tables set outside the metro stations, there’s always a hidden treasure waiting to be found. Being able to inject new life to some of our favorite items is…
CURRENTLY NO. 04
Currently No. 04 – READING Internet articles on cutting your own hair. It started with cutting those pesky split ends, but now that I have proper hair shears (thanks to my colleague who just happens to have an unused one lying around his desk. Seriously!! He just shrugged “I’m an uncle, whaaat?” when I asked how come…
FOODIE EXPERIENCE: A MICHELIN-STARRED LUNCH
My New York itinerary was very much fluid and tentative except for two musts that I have pre-booked waaay in advance – Wicked and a meal from a Michelin-starred restaurant. For a Michelin-virgin, this was a bit tricky because a) there’s so many options to choose from, b) I have my finances to consider, and c) I wanted it to be…
SUMMER IN THE CITY: A FASHION PEG BOARD
All these posts about New York got me daydreaming that I was back in the city. Being the pro-daydreamer that I am, the scenarios I cook up in my head are of the intricate, detail oriented sort. Current subject? What to wear in New York during summer. Temperatures are rising in the Big Apple so…
