  • Filipina ka ba?

    So I was perusing the Internet when I came upon this page titled, The Filipina and “Yan ang Pinay”. “Yan ang Pinay” is the de facto name of an informal campaign to change the top search engine results for the word “Filipina.” This is being done because the top results do not reflect the many…

  • Gosh It’s Late

    Currently at my parents house in Port Orchard now; I fly out to Chicago tomorrow morning to to attend my cousin’s wedding and spend the weekend with relatives. After work today, Ryan and I had sushi for dinner. I’m a new fan of “the crunch roll” at Sushi Express. It has tiny rice crispy-like balls…

  • Splah!

    Ahoy there. I haven’t been writing as often as I’d like but I haven’t really made time to sit and visit my Internet haunts much, let alone update my blog. I thought life after school was supposed to be filled with more down time but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how happenin’ things have been.…

  • Untitled #17

    Today was another nice day out. For the first time since I started working at NC, I had lunch by myself. I had a usability webcast to watch at 12:30, so I took my lunch early where I went to the foosball table room and read my book. It wasn’t til I was sitting on…

  • Untitled #16

    It was really gorgeous out today. Hooray for summers in Seattle. Today during the usual lunch hour, I went out with my co-workers to Chinoise to celebrate a birthday. I was excited because I’ve always wanted to try the place because it looked so nice but I was promptly disappointed. The service was pretty terrible.…

  • Yay Chinatown

    As many of you know, I now work in International District. And as such, I eat out a lot. It’s pretty freakin’ sweet. I mean, I imagine that one day I’ll tire of the cheap, delicious, plethora of Asian cuisine I have to choose from everyday. But for now it seems pretty inconceivable. Usually during…

  • Fourth of July Weekend

    Jules! Here’s that Fourth of July weekend entry you were lookin’ for: Fourth of July weekend was pretty cool. Muy long. On Friday, basically got out of the office after lunch and went to a work team building event. So Friday was a pretty chill night hanging out with the co-workers playing Catchphrase and Mafia,…

  • Only 14 Days

    So it’s a mere 14 days til Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is released and oddly enough, I’m not really excited about it. Even Ryan noted that I hadn’t even posted the date on my July calendar. In contrast, for the previous book release, I counted down the hours and pre-ordered my book a…

  • Reflections of a Newbie

    After work I decided to go check out that Capoeira school on Capitol Hill that I’ve been balking on attending. My body was aching to move. So I printed off a map, hopped on a bus and wandered around until I heard the sound of drums that told me I was at the right place.…

  • First Week of Work

    On Tuesday I started work as an Associate at Atlas NetConversions. So for the most part, things have taken a radical change in my life. Ha, well not really, more so in that I can no longer sleep in five days a week and I spend forty hours a week with a nifty name badge…
