May 20, 2013 • So. I already work on an island and most people go to islands when they go on vacation. So where does an island girl on vacation? In an area with freezing cold temperatures of course! Am currently on a Seattle stopover before proceeding to Alaska. Wish me luck! Looking forward to seeing humpback whales and...
The booklover’s credit card is finally here! I was invited to the launch event last April 17 but was unable to go because of work commitments. Much sighs of disappointment were expended. But the important thing is that they finally released it - the Fully Booked-RCBC Bankard MasterCard! If you consider Fully Booked as your...

First off, a big WHOOHOO!!! for being included in The Daily Post’s phoneography favorites for March! The staff chose my “My Neighborhood” post to include in the roundup of their favorite entries. It always feel good to be recognized Second: one good thing about working in an island resort is that the water is only...

Mar 26, 2013 • Last March 22 finally saw Bloc Party playing a concert in Manila: the culmination of years of wishing, hoping, and crazy dreaming of even going abroad just to see them play. I was introduced to this band back in 2007 (they’d already come out with “Silent Alarm” and “A Weekend in the City”) and they’ve...

Another confession:...

Jan 12, 2013 • Definitely a bigger place but yes, something over the water.
After welcoming the new year with fireworks, our guides and their supervisor decided to pull out all the stops and do a firedancing routine on the boardwalk. They were originally supposed to do in on platforms in the water but the Engineering guys decided to ignore their advice and installed the platforms too far away...
What better way to welcome the new year than with photos of fireworks? These are my favorites from the bunch of photos I took, although I think my photos last year were better. And some words of wisdom from my favorite captain: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dec 26, 2012 • My long absence from this blog is due to my graduate thesis. It’s all my thesis’ fault! I took 2.5 months off work so that I could work on it full-time in Manila. Unfortunately, those 2.5 months were not enough as my adviser had me do more analysis work to get the results we wanted....
