Facials are not only for women!

August 27, 2009 Personal by Gim 2 Comments

I was in Manila last, last week visiting Fli when I heard that Pond’s was currently having a big beauty sale with up to 70% on selected items! I am a firm believer of facial skincare (I even once went out of my way to check out the best wrinkle ...

The Cost of Getting a Driver’s License in the Philippines

May 28, 2009 Uncategorized by Flisha Leave a Comment

Hey, I should start searching for free car insurance quotes! Because I might be able to drive one again! A car, I mean. See, I lost my driver’s license card (along with my ATM, credit card and a wad of cash) a year ago when I stupidly placed my...

A Netbook for Travelers

December 21, 2008 Gadgets by Flisha 1 Comment

Nanobook, netbook, UMPC, it goes by many names. I call it a mini laptop. My mom just bought an Astone UMPC laptop for herself for Christmas and it’s soooo tiny! She’s not a geek like me (or anything remotely close!) and she only wants the thing so she can bring...

Turning Domestic

October 10, 2008 Dapitan by Flisha Leave a Comment

My academics are done, woohoo! Now all I’ve left to do to complete my Masters is my thesis software and paper. Easier said than done, but for now I’m treating myself to a relaxing vacation! I’ve left Manila and settled down (pretend) with my boyfriend in Dapitan. It’s been so...

Bohol Tour Part V: Panglao Island Beach Resort

September 23, 2008 Bohol Tour by Flisha 7 Comments

Infinity pools. I only see them on MTV Cribs. But someday, when I am filthy rich, I shall have one too! Of course, a pool can’t really be infinite by itself (can it?). It needs the help of a larger body of water, like the ocean, so you can pretend...

Yes I have got myself a new phone. Does the happy dance! It’s the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone, W960i. Not my first choice, but I couldn’t afford the W980, hehehe. It’s my first high-end phone, and I am very excited to start making Java applications for it! 🙂...

Lunches at Big Joe’s

September 4, 2008 Dipolog, Foods by Flisha 7 Comments

The first time Gim and I ate at Big Joe’s in Dipolog City, we only snuck in for a quick snack of siomai before embarking on the bus that would take us to Dapitan pier where we were to take the ferry bound for Cebu. We ordered milkshakes for take...

Portable Firefox, KeePass and Flash

April 18, 2008 Apps by Flisha 3 Comments

Like I said in my last blog post, I am out of a laptop. I am having it repaired by HP, thank goodness it’s still under warranty. But I have been advised that it might take up to 8 weeks before I can get it back. OMG, in my...

Barkada Christmas Get-Together

January 1, 2008 Personal by Flisha Leave a Comment

Three days before Christmas, my best friends and I reunited over lunch and chocolate cake. Raquel, Jotie, Chris and I enjoyed a buffet at Lantaka, a restaurant with a very beautiful sea view. I was unchaperoned by Gim, who had doctor duties at General Hospital, but managed to escape for...

Feeling Phony

August 24, 2007 Gadgets by Flisha 2 Comments

I’ve had bad luck with mobile phones. They always get lost, or stolen, or broken… So I haven’t had a new phone for the past 2 years, in fact I was only forced to use a phone these last few months because I’m in Manila and Gim’s in Zamboanga. Before...
