cravings
Posted by: grace on: November 12, 2008
My last trip home to Manila had been last August so it may sound exaggerated to say that I really miss Pinoy foods. Since I’m also trying to cook Filipino dishes at home, I couldn’t say that I am that deprived. BUT… I do miss Filipino food and whenever I try planning my itenerary during [...]

First of all, it’s too foggy tonight.
And too cold to go out.
The Americans in our apartment are partying at the rooftop.
But I still prefer the old school New Year celebration at the Philippines.
With watusi, pla-pla and kwitis at the road that makes passerbys afraid would explode anytime, anywhere.

While in transit at the Hongkong airport last May 17, I lost my k600i Globe Roaming handyphone. I didn’t remember how I lost it. All I remember was being able to call my mom and my sister who were then at Lyle’s baptism (my super poging inaanak) from the ladies’s room of HK airport minutes [...]

I had been living here in San Francisco for more than a month now and I had never been treated badly by anyone until today. I feel so bad about it that whenever I see her face…I couldn’t help but be annoyed. She’s older than me maybe in her late forties (so it might [...]

when I went to St. Paul last year, I asked my siblings before I left Manila what do they want for me to bring back from the Unite States. Back then it was ipods, digicams and all sorts of gadgets.
this year, I told them I’m not buying ipods and digicams anymore. so i asked, what [...]
too much

I’m having trouble not thinking about something that is bothering me for around 3 hours now.
So I’m blogging instead of working. I just wanna pour this out and I think when I go back to the application that I’m supposed to be working on after 15 minutes, I’d feel better. And be more productive at [...]
San Francisco vs. St. Paul
Posted by: grace on: May 22, 2008
This is my second time in the US. Last October, I was sent to St. Paul by my previous company (which I love because that was my first trip out of the country, my first plane ride, my first time to experience working in a totally strange environment). It was quiet an experience for me.
And [...]

San Francisco is beautiful. The weather is perfect (at least for me, my teammate complains about how cold it is). The buildings and infrastructures are breath taking, the view from my apartment is indescribable.
I’m starting to get a feeling of homesickness. I had been away from my family and my boyfriend for almost a month [...]
