“There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that’s important.”, Jim Rohn
Another very important lesson I have re-learned this week is to give everyone and everything a fair chance. There are many sides to people and circumstances. Nothing is ever perfect, no one is ever p...
One of the unplanned, and probably unforeseen adverse effects of the current boom in technology would have to be the way almost everyone who owns an account in social networking sites (myself include...
Someone who’d bring you your favorite food and dessert when you’re sick. And someone who’ll suffer through a chic flick about makeup and clothes, and actually enjoy it (or successfu...
A few minutes into sleep, just as I was about to hit REM, my mother went into my room to tell me that they were bringing my aunt to the ER. She’s been in bed with the fever (and chills) for 6 d...

Last night, the traffic was so bad, the commuters were more aggressive, and the buses were more scarce (scarcer? doesn’t sound like a word, too lazy to spell check hehe), and my feet could not...
Went shopping with Mikko today at the Mall of Asia. He basically did most of the shopping, I just tagged along. But I did get to buy a couple of stuff for myself … and all on budget! Woohoo. We...
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” – Oscar Wilde
Sometimes I try to remind myself that there are still genuinely good and well-meaning people in the world. Not everyone you meet will always have your best interests at heart. In an environment where...
Had a really tough day at work today so Mik & I decided to grab some dinner and have a couple of beers before going home. Somehow things don’t seem to be as bad as they are when you have so...
My cup of warm chocolate, despite the spoonfuls of sugar I put, tastes a bit more bitter. The skies, a bit more grayer. Everything, a bit more gloomier. (And my sentences a bit more redundant to pro...
Just suck it up and work. I think this is one of those moments where I should just shrug everything off and say, ‘it builds character’.
Just suck it in. Message was pretty clear. Got it.
Today, I have come to terms with the fact that at this point , I have no idea what’s going to happen in 5 years. In 2 years, even. And for someone who’s used to having plans all the time,...
Refreshing peppermint, creamy vanilla, and spicy cinammon mixed with rich green tea! Hazelnut in Caramel with Creamy Nougat and Chocolate! Creampuffs, muffins, and mallows! It’s Christmas in J...
Today, we celebrated my sister’s 25th birthday at home. This post shall serve as a digital photo album because I am too tired to write. All in all it was a good night. I love family nights like...
It’s my sister’s 25th birthday on Sunday so Mikko & I decided to cook her a hearty meal instead of giving her a store-bought present. I have always been a firm believer that presents ...
Meet my tea buddy, Ann. Ann has introduced me to the wonderful world of Ingrid Michaelson, Emiliana Torrini, and livestock. Here is a playlist made especially for my wonderful tea buddy. 1. Dead Duck...
One of the many conveniences of technology that I take the most pleasure in and find most handy (as it is fascinating) would have to be that which is brought about by my trusty set of earphones. It t...
As Stein spoke Ernest’s face fell for a moment, but then he recovered himself. She’d hit on something he’d recently begun to realize about directness, about stripping language all the way down. “When...
My head is throbbing. I’ve been in bed the whole day watching TV – a luxury I haven’t been able to afford for the past few months. While the calm is relaxing and the absence of work...
My mom found this old picture of my brother and me in one of our albums. I noticed how I always had that look of mischief in most pictures. Haha. Oh to be a kid again.
Despite all the criticism, I still like reading Gwyneth Paltrow’s blog (http://goop.com/). I love her!
“Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better – and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things t...
The house smells of fresh paint. Newspapers are strewn all over the floor. I bend my head to avoid hitting the wooden planks conveniently placed right below the ceiling. It was a good day for the car...
While short articles, blog entries, and occasional funny status updates/tweets provide entertainment, they still can’t quite fill the void left by a substantial reading list. One thing I apprec...
The best way to deal with rush hour traffic … is to avoid it. You gotta know when to put up a fight, and you gotta know when to fold. So, instead of braving impossibly grumpy commuters, bus dri...
