I’m watching this video on how real reality TV catfights can be? Reflecting on my limited experience, I’ve realized that there are many ways that what was said in the video is true. Whereas men would just roll up their sleeves and take/give the punches, women act a lot more cattily. We women tend to […]
Received last March 16, 2011 from a very very good friend in Hong Kong: Dear Friend, As you read this, I will be on my way to New York. It was a long time coming, but I am finally starting the next chapter of my life. However, one can not go forward until one looks […]
Dear Bonita, Mom is happy for you because if Trader thinks that way, he is a responsible man. Trader wants 2 to 3 children. For us, we wanted you to have four kids with 2-years interval. Like now, we are regretting why only have you and your little brother. Actually for you to be able […]
I have earlier talked about the benefits of taking a full-time MBA at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) here. Though many of the points are still valid seven months into the program, there are also harsh realities that I’ve discovered on my academic journey. To balance off all my praises for […]
2010 had been a year of new beginnings and many changes. Here’s a brief rundown: January 2010: Trader and I had already been together for the last eight months and our relationship is rocky. We fight a lot because he somehow makes a lot of hirits (underhanded comments) about other women and my weight. It […]
Three couple friends in 24 hours. Two breakups. One on the way. Inasmuch that summer is moving towards autumn, breakup season signals its dire return. “Hon, can you please call me?” I asked Trader today after his work. There is just something about breakups, especially when the issues on why the couple broke up that […]
Yes, I am what you may consider an iPhone addict. Though my trusty iPhone 3G (NOT 3Gs) has been dropped a gazillion times, gone vibrator on me before, and hung a couple of times, it’s still working and I cannot do without my silly iPhone. So this is for my fellow iPhone users. Below are […]
I’ve just finished watching An Education starring the upcomer, Academy-nominated young actress Carey Mulligan, and the suave charming Peter Sarsgaard. It was such a pleasure to watch, and really hits the bulls eye on the type of education we’d like and hope to have. Are we to pursue education in the real world, or be […]
This may come as a complete surprise to you, but HKUST’s MBA program is the only one I’ve applied for. Why HKUST, you ask? Actually, quite a few of my colleagues raise their eyebrows when I tell them that yes, I’ve resigned to go back to school, and yes, it’s a small campus in Hong Kong […]
There’s just something about the Married Man which makes some girls swoon. He’s powerful, brilliant influential, high up in the ranks of any organization and yet despite his hectic schedule, pays attention to YOU. He takes you to the nicest restaurants. No longer do you have to be embarrassed when you suggest a dining venue […]
Traderr and I had a fight the day before yesterday because I was too stressed out when he shared his wish for me to be a home-maker once we get married. Not that I’m discounting the hard work being a home maker entails. I have much respect for them. However, I did not feel that […]
Trader asked me what my New Year’s resolutions are. His were to sleep earlier, play less video games and read more books. He’s just started getting addicted to video games and wanted to curb this time-wasting endeavor. “To be better than I was last year,” I told him. “Am not the type of person to make […]
