I Heart Cebu
After the former co-workers visited in December, I found out that Starbucks released two new versions of the Manila and Cebu City Mugs and also created new mugs--Baguio and Tagaytay. Lilian ended up getting me the Cebu one for Christmas and I got it today. I'm so ecstatic that I even revamped the website. Check it out!

Chillin' Like a Villain
You know what I really miss about living in the Philippines? Tambayan: the ability to spend countless hours sitting around in a public place doing absolutely nothing productive with people that you love to hang out with. Promise, in the Philippines lang yan.
Last week, my two co-workers and I decided to go to Happy Hour to avail of cheap food and possibly eye candy. After venting about work and scarfing down my plate of waffle fries and chicken quesadilla, the girls started getting uneasy and wanted to leave because they thought the waitress minded us being there without ordering any more food. Sa Pilipinas? Walang pakialamanan dahil paying customers kami.
We window-shopped a little bit and we ended the night with a waffle cone full of green tea soft-serve (I've never used this phrase since the last decade, but it was absolutely "the bomb"). At 8:30PM, S quipped, "Should we start heading home now?" Ay nako, kung sa Pilipinas 'to, hanggang madaling araw kami doon.
Although unproductive as heck, I see tambayan as quality time. When you have already talked about the usual daily whinings and you're trying to find something else to talk about, you end up talking about real stuff to fill the dead air - real stuff that are rated R at times and are not for public consumption like in a blog. ;P

FREEdom
My current United Mileage Plus miles: 54,406
Total United Mileage Plus miles required for Japan: 60,000
Can you say, "Totally do-able"? I'm not sure about going to Japan with Co-worker S this summer anymore because I don't want to be all sticky when I finally hug the Little Twin Stars in Puroland, but it's nice to know that I can go to Japan for free...and spend all my money on useless things instead like a Hello Kitty wafflemaker. ;P

Lady in Red
It's been a little less than three years since I gave birth. I'm happy to announce that Papa and I have a new addition to the family. Meet Red:
It's the most adorable thing since...well, since Kulay. It's so small! The story behind this is that when I was walking around the neighborhood last summer, my pants kept falling down because Kulay was so heavy (remember, he's an iPod Color, waaaay before the iPods went on a diet). Hence, it was time for a new baby. Kulay will be used during travel and in the office while Red will be used during exercise. What's even nicer is I got a sweet deal on this: $48 including s/h. How sweet it is to be loved by you, Red.
