Cinderella at SG

Broadway Asia’s Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s Cinderella will have the final leg of its tour in Singapore on January 2 to 22. This makes me want to pack my bags and start my year by rewatching this musical. My bestfriend, who’s working as a veterinarian in Singapore, has been inviting me to come over and this seems to be the perfect time to do so. I was promised free board and lodging, where else can I get a travel deal like that, right? I don’t know, I’m still a bit shy to impose and it’s not as if I’ll apply for payday loans just to realize my travel aspirations.

But if you’re in Singapore anytime in those dates, be sure to check out the musical.

Living the Cliche

It’s December. It’s Christmas. It’s the gift-giving season. Everyone’s headed to the mall, with pockets brimming with cash from 13th-month pays and bonuses. Except it’s not exactly true these days, right? I received a forwarded mail from a friend highlighting the effects of recession. Among the things listed are “pay any existing loan ASAP,” “don’t leave your current job as companies will be cutting down employees on a last-in/first-out basis,” and “do not apply for new loans.” Sounds like good advice, economic distress or no. There’s nothing I can no more wrong these days than make a cash advance on a credit card to buy unnecessary and expensive things. But, hey, I’m not saying don’t buy and give away gifts. I’ll wholeheartedly take whatever you’ll drop my way.

Anyone for McDonald’s?

I love McDonald’s. Mostly because I live near one and it’s the first place I call or run to whenever I run out of food in my apartment. But did anybody else felt the sudden increase in their products’ prices? I used to have a hard time trying to fill the minimum amount for delivery whenever I order for myself. Not so much these days. My sister and I noticed that the chicken parts are somewhat bigger, but it’s not always so. Well, of course retail franchises are not immune to price hike. Too bad my salary is never going to go in that direction. Boo.

BoZ Is Back (Again)

Ok, so I don’t know if it’s only I who notice that this site goes offline quite frequently again (whole weekends even). My blog host’s problem, is what it is. I’m actually starting to be accepting of it. Nah, I’m still pissed. Sorry.

Anyway, so the weekend went by without much fanfare. My eyes are hurting from too much DVD watching, still hoping I’ve got a pop up tv, but I still have a lot on my list of movies and episodes of TV series to watch. But for now, I’m still stuck with Buffy, especially now that talks have been circulating about a possible big-screen revival. I’m keeping my eyes and ears open for that.
