Many stores here sell Japanese products, most of which are make-ups, shampoo, conditioners and hair-styling stuff. But I want those sprays, body soaps and roll-ons that help minimize sweating. Yes, I used to buy those things and they made summer in Osaka a lot bearable. The solution is either go back and work again in [...]
A friend is leaving for Australia soon and she’s selling me her 3 in 1 printer! I haven’t collected the printer yet but I’m really excited to install document scanning software and go over many stuff. But I left my old pictures box in the Philippines. It’s really fun seeing baby photos, those taken during [...]
Holy week is supposed to be a time for reflection, fasting, soul-searching. So I grew up knowing that during Holy Week, we are not supposed to go out, make noise, nor play. I used to tag along my grandmother who spends the Holy Week at the church. I thought that all people do the same. [...]
March 30, 2009. With only an 18-kg check-in luggage and a handcarry bag, I underwent a not so smooth trip to Singapore. Yes, I’ve been here for a year already! I should be glad. I’ve been planning to write a post especially for today, perhaps about Singapore. But nope. As I searched for a good [...]
“Do you want to save the earth?”. A Chinese lady cashier asked me when I told her to use the shopping bag I brought instead of putting groceries into plastic bags. I said “yes” because I honestly want to help save the earth in my own little ways. Often, cashiers just stuff everything into the [...]
One of the Filipinos in the company I’m working for got promoted. He was so kind to share his blessings with us that he treated us to lunch at Earl Swensens in Changi Airport Terminal 3. Rare occasion such as this one makes me postpone once again my plans to losing weight. But even if [...]
There was a company trip to Hongkong 2 weeks ago but I prefered to stay in Singapore. Why? Because I still had to pay SGD400++. Company subsidy became lower as the number of participants increased. Plus, the trip could eat up two days of my annual leaves. Anyway, when some of my friends came back, [...]
There are five Daiso stores here in Singapore. The nearest one is in Plaza Singapura, which is about 1-hour bus ride from my place, or 30 minutes train ride. I’ve just made my latest visit there last weekend to buy stuff that I need in the new apartment. New place means new stuff after all. [...]
Last year, before I joined the early-30′s, I convinced myself to be more health-conscious, to establish an exercise regime. But the first quarter of 2010 is almost over, still not one step completed. I don’t even have a to-do-list. I’ve just had another medical checkup for a health insurance plan application. My chances are slim [...]
Last night, I had to undergo another general checkup for an insurance company. One insurance company already rejected my application last year due to breast lumps. Even if I went to a specialist and that specialist issued a report that it’s nothing serious, they still rejected it anyway. My company’s life insurance is good but [...]
I’ve been ranting for quite sometime now how tiring it is to move out, that I don’t really like the new place, etc. But I miss my old room. Though I’m lovin’ the new one more and more Here’s my old room just before I started packing. Notice how low the ceiling is. Above is [...]
Universal Studios Singapore finally opens tomorrow, March 18! Last month, during Chinese New Year holidays, they had a one-week preview just to get the “feel” of being there. No rides yet, but the shops were open. And, I was a fool not to grab that chance. I rather spent the four-day vacation in the apartment [...]
