nando's

i first had a taste of nando's peri peri chicken when we went to malaysia. ot: we were hopeful that we could shop for cheap clothes and shoes, but that didn't happen. it's a good thing nando, whoever he is, did not disappoint us. :) nando's opened in singapore some time ago, and this is the first time we tried it here. thumbs up for mang nando!...

ikea sunday

ikea will never fail to entertain and amuse visitors :) while i heard that ikea is not for the rich in europe, ikea always makes me (and anyone i tag along) happy. it only means one thing. i am not rich. and i don't have dugong bughaw bwahahaha! the downside is: it has the effect of making you feel that you suddenly "need" a lot of things. we usually go there to just waste time or buy sandwich bags hehehehe. we end up with a lot of "needed" stuff...

christmas and new year 2012

being an ofw means you get to spend christmas and new year differently each year.on 2010, my first year being married, we spent christmas in aklan with mike's parents, and new year in cavite with mike's family. papa is a seaman and he doesn't get to spend christmas and new year at home that much so he requested that we stay with them during the holidays.last 2011, i spent christmas in tarlac with mami, tito danny, wawin, and mike. new year was spent...

marina bay day

it was a friday night last december. the family (semi-complete with tito peps and mike here for the christmas break) thought of having dinner at glutton's bay. it was closed for quite some time last 2012 for renovation, so it was the first time we're visiting it after it reopened.here are some pics ;)auntie, keyla, and tito smiles galore!keyla and tito belatred and white doggies and kitties at the esplanadewe watched this combo. keyla loved it too...

dim sum night

still posting from last december. major backlog :)during mike's december visit, i did not file for leaves because i just joined a new job, and i believe that newbies don't just go on holidays during the first few weeks of employment. :p  to compensate for that, we just continued with our date-night-after-work thing. i'll go to work as usual, and after work, we'll try to go out on a date. we only get to do this when we are together like this....

food tiangge

these pics were taken during the last christmas break. there was a food tiangge at pasir ris and we had a lazy afternoon. mike had shawarma from this seemingly authentic shawarma stall hehe. i had a big potato on a stick - deep fried and bathed in cheese powder. and we had some deep fried stuff that were not so good. we bought bottled drinks from the nearby uncle store, sat down at the park, ate our super healthy  food, and had a real date....

2nd year and 2nd month

old and new

it's raining. i have nowhere to go and nothing to do. a perfect time to reminisce. :)it was the year 2007 when i first ventured into singapore. the bank had been trusting enough to hire me even if i didn't have background in financing. to add to my luck, my teammates in sg were all filipinos, who later on turned out to be my most reliable friends.jan and marco and caths - spectrum forever hahahachristmas party 2007 @ suntec cityshining bright like...
