Summer is the best Razon to eat halo-halo!

I really hated having to bring my car in for repairs. I hate it even more when I have to spend so much money on it. But I would hate it the most if my car would conk out in the middle of EDSA traffic. So to save on a little money, I trooped to Banaue on Valentine’s day and had my car healed of its aches and pains. As a consolation, I treated myself to Razon’s halo-halo and Pancit Luglug. The Kapampangans really know their food.

My sister has come home

20 January, 2008 (13:48) | Uncategorized | By: Arpee

This week Tess, my sister, came home. It was truly good to see her again, somehow back in her usual form. The tragedy of my Mom’s untimely passing has left us both emotionally in shambles. Somehow work has kept us both too busy to think or do anything stupid. For a change, my sister comes home and lets her hair down while in the company of the only family she has left, me.

She always pays for dinner and for me, it makes the desserts a bit sweeter, the steaks a bit juicier, the pasta, a bit more tender. I decided to bring her to Bonifacio High Street’s New Orleans Restaurant, the one beside Claw Daddy. I wanted her to see how much High Street has changed, and on a Saturday night the place was packed with people. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for us to find a table for five.

Cool cool Avenue Q!

My apologies for the unannounced blogging hiatus. December is the indeed the month of deadlines, overspending, rushes and impossible tasks. Now that we are a few days before Christmas day, I decided to give myself and Noreen a gift; a break from all the holiday spending and chaos we had to subject ourselves to. Yes, we saw Avenue Q.

A pair of ticket I bought through my friend, Khursten (thanks pala ha!) as far back as October, when the P500 seats (US$12.00) were still available. I had a good view of the musical from the balcony area. Kinda far, but wasn’t much different from the view of those from the Loge, where each seat was worth P1,000 (US$24.00).

Happy Birthday Boss Mel!

7 December, 2007 (12:59) | Uncategorized | By: Arpee

Our boss, Ana Melissa Martirez celebrates her birthday with Lawson PSSC for the first time and her team is more than happy to blow the candle alongside her. Boss Mel, as I fondly call her, is from Lexmark, the printer company, based in Cebu. Armed with a degree in Mass Communication from the University of St. La Salle, Melissa brings her years of writing expertise to Lawson PSSC, and how happy are we that she is our boss!

To show our undying love and support, we surprised her with cake and some pancit palabok to which she retaliated with pizza from Yellow Cab, he he.

No reviews here just happy memories from a good day at the office. Our bosses from the US were also treated to some good old-fashioned Lawson merienda. We had Red Ribbon’s pancit palabok, coffee crumble cake and Yellow Cab Pizzas.
