Imagine yourself driving home from work tired, hungry, and quite irritable. Your legs are aching from the traffic jam along Buendia which started right from the time you exited the carpark until you reached The Fort. It’s about 8pm already and the last meal you had was lunch, so you decide to drive through the [...]

Voglio mangiare ala Cucina Tegola
August 31st, 2008 
Iris During my recent trip to Cagayan de Oro (just for work unfortunately), my officemates and I made sure we sampled the best of CDO. We were not to let go of a great opportunity to try out the food there, of course. Hay, Filipinos talaga and their love of food. One of the best is [...]
10 years ago…
August 31st, 2008 Iris What was I doing 10 years ago? I had just celebrated my sweet sixteen birthday, and I was in the height of high school ‘bliss’, busy being a teenager and a bad one at that. What are 5 things on my to-do list today? Harass some people, brief some push girls, schedule my blog posts [...]
Ayoko maging ganito [lp]
August 28th, 2008 Iris Pag tumanda ako, ayoko magmistulang natutuyo, nalalagas, o nanghihina. Ewan ko kung bakit, basta ayaw ko lang. Sino ba may gustong maging ganon pagtanda diba? Hehe. Happy LP sa lahat! Tingnan niyo kung anu-ano pa ang ayaw ng mga LPers. — Kuha gamit ang aking manual Minolta SLR, b/w film, sa UP Diliman grounds para [...]
How to shop for shoes
August 26th, 2008 Iris It’s true what they say, having a girl for a daughter is like having your own Barbie doll to dress up — only cuter. I never fully understood my girl friends’ excitement over my growing tummy when I was carrying Mia (and we knew that it was a girl). They kept gushing about how fun [...]

August 21st, 2008 Iris It’s the highlight of my day. And especially if you get it for free! Starbucks had a survey promo where you get a free tall drink of your choice just by filling out an online questionnaire. When you buy at Starbucks, they give you a printed out code on the receipt which you use to [...]
Waiting in vain
August 19th, 2008 Iris What’s it like to wait for someone, or something, not knowing if it will ever come? It’s a killer. You exhaust your list of things to do, hoping that in the middle of watching a rerun of FRIENDS your phone might ring. But it doesn’t. You’ve finished a bag of 500-calorie chips and nobody’s still [...]

August 18th, 2008 Iris I am not an avid fan of animals, but I wouldn’t say that they don’t hit a soft spot somewhere inside me. I am also a casual paparazzi of the Tiendesitas collection of animals so when I saw a new tenant there, I was quite surprised. They only used to have dogs, cats, rabbits, and [...]
Toys for the boys… and the girls too
August 18th, 2008 Iris It’s one of those lazy weekends again, after one long, crazy work week. And crazy is such an understatement. So I just didn’t have the heart to bring out my laptop on a nice Saturday morning and borrowed my brothers’ Sony PSP instead. Since I couldn’t win over this German girl on a clay court [...]
I need to get a life.
August 14th, 2008 Iris This is my movie bucket list. Please don’t condemn me if I haven’t seen The Dark Knight. Yep, you read that right. I haven’t. Body of Lies – Just saw the trailer on 2nd Avenue (L. Dicaprio / R. Crowe / Riddley Scott) Hancock Wall-E – doesn’t he remind you of that robot movie back [...]
