Disney “Shanghai Tang” Cardholder

May 19, 2010 by Janey

Karen tossed something on my worktable.

Nonchalantly.

She’s always like that when she gives me something.

She doesn’t make a big deal out of it.

What perfect timing.

My cardholder is giving out on me. It has this tear that I keep on fixing.

Hooray for my new Disney “Shanghai Tang” cardholder.

It’s so cute.

I lurve it.

I’m down to my last 10 pieces of Between Bites card.

New sets are beckoning.

Will retain my old design. The oh-so-simple one.

I’m thinking of another set with a BB logo and my trademark.

😉

Thanks K for my new cardholder!

Melty Kiss Rum

June 25, 2009 by Janey

My colleague and good friend KZ is back in town. She was in Macau, Hong Kong and Shanghai for 2 weeks plus the company policy of 7-day quarantine made me miss her all the more. Of course, she doesn’t miss the work.

She loved Shanghai. She beat me to it. I’ve always wanted to go. I guess a trip to Beijing is first on the list, that being more a cultural trip. But Shanghai is definitely the next stop in China.

KZ brought home a favorite of mine again, Meiji Melty Kiss. A lot of people grope about how good Royce chocolates are (including me!) but it was Meiji that started my affection for Japanese chocolates. The thin Meiji Black Chocolate bar was my first Japanese sweetheart.

It’s my first time to try Meiji Melty Kiss Rum and it is so sinfully good. It reminded me of this blueberry-flavored melt-in-your-mouth-chocolates that I bought in Japan (I bought two bags of chocolates from Japan, cocoa addicts raise your hand!!!). I didn’t realize rum could taste similar to blueberry.

Thanks KZ!

F1 Viewing Party

October 2, 2008 by Janey

I’ve been looking for a driver who’s qualified
So if you think that you’re the one
Step into my ride
I’m a fine-tuned supersonic
Speed machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

Around 10pm on Sunday, Formula 1 capped its first ever night race in Singapore. Renault’s Fernando Alonso marked his 20^th career victory and first since 2007’s Italian Grand Prix with McLaren. He won after starting 15th on the grid. Second placer Nico Rosberg scored his best Grand Prix finish, giving Williams its best result since the 2005 season. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was third.

So if you feel me let me know
Know, know
Come on now what you waiting for
For, for
My engine’s ready to explode
Explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go
Go, go, go

50,000 tourists attended the first night race by F1. Part of the historical night race was my friend and officemate, Karen Zabaljauregui, Jan Dela Merced with friends.

Back in Manila, people who didn’t have an airline ticket to Singapore last weekend had an alternative as Alchemy, alongside Sky Cable, opened its door to an F1 Viewing Party. Pia Boren hosted the event and gave F1 goodies for contest winners.

There were 3 track crashes that evening, Piquet, Fiscichella, Barichello –yea, I can’t pronounce those names too. Massa had a pitstop disaster.

Got you where you wanna go
If you know what I mean
Got a ride that’s smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves?
Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy
Then we can go all night

Alonso did a round of cycling at 3am before the race day to probably get a feel of the track. That photo is glaring brightly as Karen’s desktop wallpaper.

’Cause I’m 0 to 60 in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Now shut up and drive
(Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive
(Drive, drive, drive)
