Kat's Notebook

Actually school starts next week. It has been postponed due to the Influenza A H1N1 virus hitting the schools right now. In the news it was reported that 5 or so students have the virus already. Earlier when I went to school for enrollment, I passed by La Salle University and was surprised to see [...]

This comes with big regret but I’m going to kiss a Coron vacation goodbye for now. With the constant rainy weather over at Coron, it’s better to postpone the trip. I wouldn’t like to go island hopping when it’s raining/stormy. Our boat may capsize and also we wouldn’t be able to get a good shot [...]

Well I reverted back to not wearing my retainers. I got over the pain of wearing it but unfortunately the position of my teeth are more complicated than I’ve originally thought. The space between my 2 front teeth, which is called diastema, can’t be simply closed by wearing retainers. So here’s the dilemma… My lower [...]

I went to China last week to visit my sister and tour Shanghai and Beijing. Of all the airlines Cebu Pacific Air had the cheapest fare at roughly 14k PHP/pax. I wanted to go to Beijing directly but the airline only stops at Shanghai. So my sister decided to meet us in Shanghai and tour [...]

Last night, I went back to wearing retainers. Darn it hurts! I had orthodontic braces when I was in high school. Back then it was so cool to wear them. It’s an “in” thing. I don’t know why I needed braces but I pushed my parents to let me wear them. However I was aware [...]

After finishing up all the stuffs that I need to do in school, I went to the library to catch up with some news. I’ve been out of touch lately and my crossword-ophile brain is getting rusty. Among the news that shocked me were: Bobby Dacer’s murder is finally getting some answers. It was on [...]

I love Chinese new year!  Since I’m half-chinese in blood, we always take time to remember the chinese new year. For me it signifies the days of the tikoy! Yes I love tikoy!!! It’s a round sticky sweet rice cake that you fry in oil. It can be cooked plain or dipped in beaten eggs. [...]

Our school had an early Christmas break which began on Dec. 16, 2008. I thought I would have the only one with a long break. But because holidays fall on middle of the week last year, a lot of offices had closed until the 1st week of the new year. So surprisingly  I was able [...]

What do you do on a New Year’s Eve? As for me and my sister, we always head straight to my aunt’s house to stay the night becuase it gets too polluted and noisy at our place. Spending new year’s eve with my aunt and her family (my cousins), we ate and just do nothing. [...]
