Highlights of 2008 (Long post)
1. Being assigned in Davao for 10 months for my third job rotation. I moved in January and moved back to Manila in November– this is where I spent majority of my year. I lived in my own small apartment, did the groceries and cooked for myself, and spent the weekends alone. I was out clubbing [...]

The first week back
I’M BACK!!! :) Got here last Saturday afternoon, still sleepy from Friday’s despedida for me at Marugen Dream in The Venue compound, where almost all of the Davao staff attended:
The place was small enough to fit all of us to hog the karaoke machine, so it was just good times, doing the thing I loved [...]

A day of firsts and lasts
If it were not for some bad news I received this afternoon I’d say my day was pretty good. I woke up, chapped lips (from eating 2 bags of junk food last night while watching Grey’s Anatomy 3), hungry for some warm, home-cooked food, and I flicked the TV on the Lifestyle Channel. Man, the [...]

So here goes Part 2 of my tribute to the place I called home for about 9 months. I’ve only got 2 more weeks to go starting Monday– and though I’m excited to go back home to be with my family and friends again, I will definitely miss this place which taught me more than [...]

In Davao, I… (Part 1 of many)
As I oh so gleefully announced last time, I’m coming back home to Manila!!! I’ll still be working in the same company, but this time for the domestic business– doing projects in Customer Service. I didn’t really like Customer Service when I was there for my second job rotation, but this time is much better [...]

My Friday night was pretty cool. It was Rex’s birthday eve so we had a bit of a celebration at the office, then went drinking, first at Pescado, then Jickong’s. Pescado had a nice ambiance but it was quite humid and they didn’t serve ice cold beer (bad if you’re here in Davao), so we [...]

Plans
I’ve been here in Davao since January but I haven’t really done much, especially in my free time. Believe me, when you’ve got a laptop and free wifi at your place, time just passes so quickly when you’re in front of the computer and have communication to home back in Manila right in front of [...]

The weekend
My horoscope for today (well, it’s not surprising that it’s very very true again): IF YOU WANT SOMETHING NOW, BETTER ACT NOW BEFORE SOMEONE SWOOPS IT UP.
Am I supposed to be alarmed??? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
(Don’t worry, this week… this week. I will make sure I get through, even if I have to spell it out.)
Anyway I spent [...]

… and I’m tired from studying Logistics the whole day today (I actually just started at lunch and then slept for 2 hours after lunch)…
I saw this movie “Little Manhattan” (from 2005) on Star Movies today while I was having my Mr. Chips + Yakult breakfast (I know, eeeek, unhealthy! I haven’t done my grocery [...]

Food Trip: Pista Lokal
My fave cheap food in Davao! Located along F. Torres St., they serve even better chicken barbecue than Banok’s… only for Php 65. Tuna belly at 150. Chopsuey at 150. Cool acoustic band. And they serve ice cold beer too!
Jane, after our prodding, sang “Power of Two” with the band last night. Cool! Other pics [...]
