When I was 18...

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - November 6, 2005 - 12:00am

I wish that Bench had its sexy underwear line when I was 18. Then I would’ve looked better, I think. During my time, underwear was more of a necessity rather than a fashion accessory. Your underwear was used...

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - July 28, 2004 - 12:00am

I like writing for the Philippine STAR because: 1) It has 100 times the circulation of the newspaper I used to handle for 11 years and which I eventually sold. 2) Max Soliven is my Confirmation ninong (sipsip!)....

Why I need a facelift

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - April 4, 2004 - 12:00am

One Sunday morning I had to decide which was more urgent – writing an article (as I had not written for the past 60 days), or getting a facelift. I figured that not writing an article would get me ejected from...

Beaching around Sydney in a ’50s swimsuit

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - January 11, 2004 - 12:00am

I created history for myself when I finally flew out of town last Christmas with hubby and son, and without bringing a yaya. I am too embarrassed to say how old my son is because it will show my skills – or...

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - June 8, 2003 - 12:00am

I can’t figure out where or how this article fits in – is it about graduation (where as usual, I’m months behind when I write about special occasions), or is it about school opening (for once, I am...

Memories of a Chinoy student in the ’70s

by CHICKEN FEED By Robina Gokongwei-Pe - February 9, 2003 - 12:00am

If this article is going to sound like a press release for our 25th high school homecoming this November, then I must admit, it is. But this is not a press release as much as a story on how it was to be Chinoy studying...
