So sometime during the holidays, and even some instances before that, I’ve noticed a lot of people playing this card game on their cellphones and on their computers. It wasn’t Mahjong, and it...
Because I had to say this, even if no one out there is listening… I’ve seriously fallen in love with Wang Lee Hom (王力宏), an American-Taiwanese singer currently living in Taiwan. It may just be a...
Hello 2013, this being the first post of the year, and the first blog post in about 3 months. A lot has happened since I last reminded everyone that I was alive. Today is the 2nd day of January,...
50Leaves 1. Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto (January 27, 2012) 2. The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan 3. The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan 4. My Country, My People by Lin Yutang 5. Mansfield Park...
I’ve loved autumn since I first discovered that the leaves turn yellow and red and the weather becomes cooler, and the fashion requires people to wear coats and boots, a long long time before I...
Weekends are at times my favorite days of the week, despite the noise at the Nanputuo Temple, because these are the days I can relax and do my chores and sleep in. Today I was awakened by a loud...
So recently, it’s like I’ve been working from 9-5. Some days it’s 8-5, and some days it’s 10-5. The new semester has begun and I’m finally feeling what it is to be studying and doing part-time work...
And to think, the only time I remember being robbed outright was back in 2006 when I was still studying in Ateneo and while I was with my blockmates, my laptop was stolen. Considering that I’ve...
As the title of my blog entry says, it feels like I’m back from the dead. One, because I have left this blog empty for the past couple of months, which is a bit unlike me since I used to write...
If you’re a foreigner looking to take the medical exam (because you want to get a residence permit for a multiple entry student [X] or working visa [Z]), living in China for an extended period of...
Lent is never really that hard in the Philippines (in general), because we’re a predominantly Catholic/Christian country. It’s only now that I’m on my 2nd or 3rd time away from the Philippines...
Today, the world celebrates women everywhere. Happy International Women’s Day. Here in China, it’s called 三八妇女节 (Sānbā fùnǚ jié). In my 23 years of existence as a woman, I had yet to experience the...
I’ve always found myself to be a person with weird sleeping habits. I find myself the most productive nearing midnight to around dawn. Whether it’s cleaning, or writing blog entries, playing...
Banica River. Picture above taken by my aunt. December 17, 2011. Around 11am. Just a few minutes ago, I spotted Dumaguete (where I’m presently living) on the news. Why? We, together with places...
Because I’m more or less ignorant to the local happenings here in Dumaguete, and I’m not really familiar with fiesta days and the like, I had to hear the sound of the parade and my aunt insisting...
Sometimes I just like to add links to my sidebar but forget to actually go through the sites, even the ones that belong to friends. And yes, I don’t exactly know how RSS feeds go, but I think I’d...
分心的我，你现在哪里？ 孤独的你，请找到me。 浪漫的我，不要想多的梦， 王侯的你，请不要让我等。 ♥黄绮思 – Pinyin version of poem above: Fēn xīn de wǒ, nǐ xiànzài nǎlǐ? Gūdú de nǐ, qǐng zhǎodào me. Làngmàn de wǒ, bùyào xiǎng duō de mèng, Wánghóu...
I don’t know if most of you know, but back in my days in elementary school…I hated studying Chinese. It was one of those daunting tasks you had to do at school because it was a class. It was one of...
Don’t get any wrong ideas from the title. Haha, I’m just dropping by for a while to say hello to any friends and readers out there. I’m currently out of Manila, living in the province with my...
So, ever since I got back from Beijing, I’ve had this sudden fashion frenzy phase with shoes, bags and clothes. I was a huge Bayo fan before I went, but I rarely went shopping for clothes or shoes,...
Though I constantly frustrate my friend by not choosing a macbook for my laptop last year and not really considering an iphone as a cellphone of choice while I was reviewing what new phone I should...
Stripes Top from Beijing; Blue and Brown bag from H&M Beijing; Soft black boots from Westlink Beijing Hello Manila and Hello Xiamen. After 7 years of being away from my ancestral hometown….I am...
Going off to Xiamen in a few hours. I’m very excited since I haven’t been back there since 2004, which was my first trip to China. I’ll only be staying for a few days, so no worries with regard to...
Oh the first of September. The first of the BER months. To some people, it’s a hurried reminder that Christmas is approaching, and christmas gifts have to be prepared. To some, it’s just another...
Marvel comics top from Samuel and Kevin Beijing; Cargo pants from UNIQLO Beijing; Velcro flats from Bench Manila; Hoop earrings from Beijing; Headband straps from H&M Beijing Last Monday, a friend...
Mascot Drawing Contest After the inauguration of its new offices in Makati last September, the Confucius Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University takes another step in crafting a stronger...
Insomnia. It’s what greets me as each day comes to pass and another comes to greet me. Yesterday was unbelievably bad, much worse than the usual. Instead of falling asleep somewhere at 6 in the...
Never knew that losing my Beijing weight and fat would be so hard. I thought it would be as easy as going back to my diet from pre-Beijing, plus Manila weather, and my natural metabolism. But it’s...
You know how when you were a kid, and you thought you knew what you were going be when you grew up? That was me then. And then, there’s the me now. Unemployed and not exactly sure what she wants to...
