People always think its better to date a nice guy. At least, he would never really hurt you. He can’t. He’s just too “nice.” Well, I did actually dated a guy because he was nice. Of course, the cute factor was there too. He was Chinese, clean, very intelligent, and someone you can present to […]

This is so true… Tried and tested… if you like someone: Step 1: Find a way to “connect” with them. In the Philippines, it’s easy enough so long as you have her number. Be non-threatening and start with a simple, “Hi, how are you?” If the woman ain’t a b*tch, she will at least be […]

A month after my breakup… wow, how time flies. It hasn’t been an easy journey but oh, how invigorating the process was. Over the last four weeks, I’ve done a lot of self-reflection, making changes where I saw fit. And there were many. My life path for 2012 for example has radically changed from what […]

This morning, I awoke early at 6:30 am to be at the American Chamber’s Women in Business awards at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. The half-day conference started off with a bang with Ms. Angelina Kwan, MD of a regulator/compliance advisory company, jokingly quipped that if Lehman Brothers were led by more women (e.g., if […]

It’s funny – a month after starting MBA, some long-term, long-distances are starting to unravel. Whilst many people came into an MBA in a relationship, for some reason, a handful are now either “on a break,” or reverted to a status of “it’s complicated.” It does make me think though — what is it about […]

I met a new friend whose story is made up from those seen in soap operas. It’s quite complicated: She was dating a guy in Europe for a few months when she also met someone online in Hong Kong. Hong Kong guy gave her an airline ticket from the Philippines, prompting her to decide whether […]

Trader and I will meet the parents this weekend. Boy, is this going to be so much fun! 😀 His mother has grudgingly accepted the invitation though Trader has yet to come back to me on the deets. While my parents are already cautiously asking me not to “take the first offer” and play a […]

DragonStalker rightfully asked whether it’s good that Trader and I had been fighting all the time. Actually, I wouldn’t call these as fights but rather as arguments which I blow out in proportion when reporting them on my blog. 🙂 That said, I’ve thought about my previous relationships and wondered if I fought with my […]
