I’ve always wanted to take a photo of the view from the sky train at the Changi International Airport. During the Airshow, my housemate lent me his SLR so I finally took a decent photo. Here’s the view when you take the sky train from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2:
Do you throw away things that you think have already served their purpose? I usually don’t. I don’t like to trash envelopes even if it means crowding my drawer more. I don’t throw away custom presentation folders, one of which I got from an employer four years ago. I still use it when I carry [...]
The other day, we received an email regarding this year’s dinner and dance. The venue has already been decided, at the newly-opened Resorts World Sentosa! Which specific hotel it is, I still don’t know. But the company’s annual big event will be in May and I’m already this excited. I was lucky last year because [...]
My family encountered a tough time when I was still a child. My father was finishing college at that time while supporting a wife, three kids, two siblings-in-law and a step-mother. We rarely had red meat dishes on the table. Most of the time, we had herring either fried or grilled for lunch and dinner, [...]
My mother is still in her mid-fifties. But she is already complaining about painful joints. In fact, when I was in my teens, she suffered a kind of arthritis that kept her bedridden for days. Thank God, she recovered from it. I didn’t know until I last came home that she had a little accident: [...]
My father was only 5 feet 4 inches tall. My mother stands at only 4 feet 11 inches. So, I’m not really surprised why I could not join beauty contests. As if I’d be qualified even if I get the minimum height requirement! Also, I don’t have the guts to wear a swimsuit in front [...]
My first visit to a “real” hair salon was six years ago. By this, I mean those salons that are air-conditioned with the comfortable, rotating chairs. Since I was little, I always went with my mother to her hairdresser. That hairdresser did her job at her house. That was when I was introduced to a [...]
The school year is almost over in the Philippines and I’m looking at few activity options for Shaynna during summer break. She once asked me if she could join in one of those ballet dance lessons. She might have been bored last summer, but what attracted her most to ballet is the tutu! She even [...]
Common TV advertisements in the Philippines are of hair products and food. Of course since the start of the campaign period and even way earlier, TV commercials are often those of the politicians. I don’t often watch local channels here in Singapore but when I do, anti aging products commercials are shown, like sunblocks. Must [...]
I actually had second thoughts about going to the airshow because I was alone. But having borrowed an SLR made me look forward to taking photos. I did not enjoy the aerobatics because I spent half an hour searching for a part of the camera that wasn’t there! (Ahh, in this case, ignorance was definitely [...]
I still couldn’t believe that I got to see the Singapore Airshow 2010 at the Changi Exhibition Center. I wanted to, but I found the tickets expensive. The Airshow is a 6-day event. February 2-5 were the “Trade Days” and during these days, only those who are at least 18 years old were allowed inside. [...]
It’s IT Show again from March 11- 14! This time, it would be held in Suntec. It’s only been less than 6 months from the last IT Expo, the third time for me since coming to Singapore, but I have not bought anything, have not taken advantage of the freebies. I hope that I could [...]
