For as long as I can remember I have always had an interest for all things Irish. One possible reason for it could be because of how I was brought up and how it often involved someone Irish in one way or another. I grew up attending Sunday mass in a church run by Irish […]

…I bought this contraption from Sports House. If you know me personally, you’d say “Uh-oh, here we go again…” because I try these infomercial thingies every now and then.  I tried the vibrabelt (didn’t work), the sauna belt (almost burned my skin) and Timeworks (which made my heart palpitate so much in less than 4 […]

The latest season of The Voice in the US was something that I was not particularly excited about. It marked the return of original coaches Christina Aguilera and Ceelo Green after a season of having them replaced by Shakira and Usher. I liked the latter rather than the former so having the original coaches back […]

I don’t know if it applies to everyone but to me there is a certain degree of distinction in terms of what role a person plays in my life based on what name that person uses for me. Almost everyone who knows me personally calls me by my nickname, Clare. My family, from what I […]

If I could do anything else with my life right now I would like to be a writer.  I would like to write books like Meg Cabot and Nicholas Sparks and see them become movies or TV shows in the future.  I would like to stay in the comfort of my home wearing my most […]

I was out at the mall when I first noticed this new Ponds Facial Wash that was in a black tube/container. I didn’t know what it was about so I didn’t buy it. I was already using their Anti-bacterial Facial Wash so I figured that it probably didn’t have much of a difference. A few […]

I got tagged by my friend Ida to do this. I remember answering a lot of these things back when I was still a newbie blogger ten (gasp!) years ago. Amusing to do this again after so many years! A: Attached or Single? Single…for now. B: Best Friend? I don’t have one specific friend I […]

There has been a lot of talk in the country about the Reproductive Health Bill and about whether or not the government should implement it. According to Pro-Life groups, we are taking away the right of life from unborn children by having this bill. Pro-RH Bill groups, on the other hand, argue that it is […]

I absolutely loved this! Tessane Chin, one of the members of Team Adam on the singing competition The Voice, recently performed her version of No Doubt’s old hit, Underneath It All. This song is one of my all-time favorites. I could listen to it over and over and never get tired of it! I love […]

Lately my weekends have been about catching up on the movies that I didn’t get to see in the cinemas. Being from the province and at least an hour or two away from the nearest movie house, watching these films at home has been my regular option. Lucky for me I have people I can […]

Back when I was younger I loved to read. I read just about anything I could get my hands on, even the old issues of Reader’s Digest in my grandmother’s house. As I grew older I still enjoyed reading but it’s something that I haven’t had much time for lately. This year I thought maybe […]

Over the weekend I recently had some repairs done around the house that were badly needed during the start of the rainy season. When we bought our house in 2007 we weren’t really thinking about all the work that needed to be done after we bought it. We just knew we needed a new home […]

These days one thing that makes me happy is watching football…but it’s even more fun when you watch it with friends.  I only met this group of people through a Twitter friend but since meeting and getting to know them, watching the game has been more fun and I’m honored that they have welcomed me […]

One of my recent discoveries online is the website Alive Not Dead. It’s an online community for fans of the Asian Entertainment scene. Alive Not Dead is networking site where artists and other people in the entertainment industry in Asia along with other Asian artists who are based abroad can share their updates with their […]
