Are you a bath or a shower person? I’ve grown up without having a bath tub at home so I hadn’t been exposed to the supposed comforts of soaking in a tub until I was sent to Japan. I had my own room and own bathroom with a tub. I tried a few times but [...]
With the rising number of AH1N1 cases, occasional reports of food poisoning, personal hygiene must be observed at all times. I just hope everyone shares this same interest specially when using public utilities and when in public places. The first reason why I don’t really like taking the MRT is that it is just too [...]
I admit I got bored here in Singapore during my first few weeks. I was used to being busy on weekends in Japan that I sort of freaked out when left with nothing to do on weekends. Singapore could be boring if you do nothing about it. The most important step I had to do [...]
Did another visit again to the websites of some automobile distributors in the Philippines. If only I have at least enough to buy a Toyota Innova, I want to buy one now! Maybe because of the economic slowdown that there’s a decline in sales, and now they are trying to attract customers not only by [...]
I have been babbling about weight loss pills over and over again. But finally, I am happy with myself for overcoming three consecutive days of laziness and boredom. I have finally taken up my running shoes again and been running/walking a total of almost 3 kilometers per day. I know this is such a short [...]
Where did I get these photos? They do resemble Manila to me. We had the chance to visit a friend staying at a condo near the Al-Junied station. Above is what you see from the 17th floor. I wish I had a good camera, I could have taken a night shot. I bet it looks [...]
During my first few days here, I saw those ads at the MRT stations about Uniqlo opening at the mall near my place. When the new mall opened, so did Uniqlo, a Japanese grocery store, and a couple of Japanese restaurants. A friend told me that Singapore loves almost anything that is “Japanese”, which is [...]
As what I have often been told, I should take good care of myself. When I was in still in Japan, I religiously took my vitamin C. After all, prevention is the best medicine. I worked for a small company then, so the benefits including the health insurance, was not that good. Now, I am [...]
Have you ever bought a movie ticket without knowing the title nor the genre? I have not. But I had the chance to go to the movies without any clue as to what the movie was all about. A friend in the office got sick and she gave me her ticket to a “surprise movie”. [...]
I don’t have a car and I am far from having one, but here I am looking at websites checking out cars, SUVs, trucks, truck accessories, etc. Okay, let us just pretend that I have won millions of pesos. I would definitely buy a car not for my own comfort, when I stay for a [...]
I miss the “real” Japan taste, so I was ecstatic when I received a flyer about the Hokkaido Fair at the Tampines Mall from July 3 to 12. I dropped by last weekend and the venue was crowded. The usual comment that I heard from the customers? “It’s not so cheap.” If you’re used to [...]
Over the past few days, I’ve been eating like a pig. I’ve had complete meals but had heavy snacks in between. When I underwent a medical checkup for an insurance policy, I was not surprised to find out that I am now 2.5 kilograms heavier than when I first stepped foot here in Singapore. Desperate [...]
