The couch potato in me has been very happy watching my choice shows of the season these past few months. Do you ever watch a series and just follow it for the sake of seeing how it would end even if the show isn’t your thing? There are several shows that I’ve been following but […]
Have you ever had that moment when you revisit a place from your childhood and you’re surprised that everything seems smaller? A friend of mine and I were talking about that and although we agreed that it had a lot to do with the fact that we are older (and bigger) now, I think it […]
A friend of mine and I were talking recently about how single girls at our age would most likely end up with someone younger because the guys are age are mostly married already (or gay). I often joke that I’m a puma (a younger version of the cougar, haha) because most of the guys I […]
After six years, I am finally ending my subscription to Smart Bro. I’ve had enough of the service interruptions that we’ve been having these past few years and I’m tired of having to complain about the service so I am officially ending my subscription this month. The service is so inconsistent and I just can’t take it anymore. One […]
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I ended up where I needed to be. – Douglas Adams Being on “post-surgery-rest-and-recuperate mode” has given me time to do a lot of things I normally would not have time for if I were working. Mostly it’s been limited to […]
Who isn’t familiar with fairy tales like Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, etc.? I think all of us have had these stories read to us as a child. I think Disney has also made sure that we’re familiar with these stories with the movie versions they have made of them. Not everyone […]
One of my favorite things to eat is chicken. I can literally live on eating chicken every day if I could. There are so many ways to cook it and every recipe I’ve tried has been very good. One particular favorite for me is Hainanese Chicken. Whenever I find a place that serves it, I […]
I remember getting tagged to make a list of the 15 movies and 15 books that have made the most impact to me. I never got to make that list when I was tagged to do it but I did it for this blog so that my readers can get to know me a bit. […]
This was from a party from a few years back. I met all these people because of a common interest and although that interest of mine has already faded, I appreciate the fact that a good number of these people have remained my friends who I keep in touch with. I loved this night because […]
If you have been reading my blog(s) for a while now, you’d remember me posting an entry about wanting to finish a 1000-piece puzzle. It’s one of my goals for the year because it’s something that I had enjoyed doing with my father, who passed away last year. I bought a puzzle last February and […]
OK, so it may not have been four days for me (it was five), but I still wish that it lasted a bit longer. I have a day and a half to go and I really feel like it isn’t enough. I wish I could say I’ve been productive. Apart from the disastrous family trip […]
Velvet Channel has been airing season 1 of The Sing-Off hosted by Nick Lachey and I have become a fan of the group The Beelzebubs, otherwise known as The Bubs. Here is a video of them with their first performance that really made me stop and notice them: I love how they make the whole […]
I was pleasantly surprised to a get a positive response to my last post inviting Azkal and Kaya FC player Nate Burkey to a sing-off. Here’s what his mom said to me via Twitter: To say that the response from him mom encouraged me to try contacting Nate himself with a link to my post […]
As a friend of mine once said on Twitter: My happiness largely depends on the happiness of the people I love. If you know me personally, you’d know that I can be generous to a fault, especially when it comes to people that I love. I may not literally give the shirt off my back […]
