Accidentally found this blog containing “blind items” about life at Trend Micro, my previous workplace.

Okay, so it’s not really a work blog, and the posts will leave outsiders totally clueless, but yes, it does reflect the “colorful” life at TrendLabs HQ Manila. (In the US Corp and 24×7 Premium Support teams, at least. My team, the European Technical Support Center, is much more, er, sedate.)
