Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
…comes great responsibility. …or a bigger brain. A friend I haven’t seen for over 10 years visited Taiwan for the long Labor Day weekend and we met up for coffee and a chat yesterday. He asked me this question which made me think, “Now that you’re in Taiwan with nobody to control you or follow […]

It makes me sad when people have some misconception about me. I was having a great time at a party when a guy who knows I have this blog told me, “I know that you have a blog. Please don’t blog about me.” “You’ve read it?” I asked, surprised. I’ve taken care not to tell […]

The weirdest place I’ve ever met a guy in was at the Alexander Gym. Back when it was still in operation, Alexander Gym was a place I frequented three times a week. Sometimes, I’d go to their pilates classes, while others, I would do some crunches, weights and jump some rope. It was there where […]

Raven: “Thank you for taking care of me last week. In return, please allow me the pleasure to take you out to dinner.” Guy: “No need to thank me. Dinner would be nice, but not this week. Full schedule. :)” Raven: “You’re lucky am polite and would like to thank you properly. How about next […]

Yesterday, I did all I can to avoid Barcode, everybody’s perennial hang-out place because I wanted to avoid “him” to which we have yet to call by any name save for M. For one, he has already extended an invitation last Friday night so I knew he was going to be there, and two, I […]

SimpleGuy jilted me and told me the very last minute that he couldn’t climb with me today. No big deal as have already successfully distanced myself from feeling too happy/disappointed whenever I receive any news from him. I get it… you’re not interested! No expectations, no disappointment, me thinks. And I still went climbing despite […]

I’m slightly melancholic after the long weekend. Not because I had no company — I had tons. However, sometimes I wish I can just keep the company of a single person all throughout. Anyway, it was a pretty eventful few days. To start off, on Friday, my friend and I tried out brunch at the […]

Flute’s comment reminds me of the Ladder Theory. In his comment, he writes, “Please forget the idea that these guys see you neutral. You may have put them already in the friend zone, but they don’t, I am sure. Personally I see EVERY woman with this bipolar filter: I could IMAGINE having sex or “no […]

Honestly, I am slightly disillusioned by how some of my relationships have been faring these days. Relationships which are not limited in the romantic sense, but also spans through friendships and otherwise. I’ve always considered myself as a good friend, pledging by the Golden Rule. However, it frustrates me at times when friends who I […]

Okay, I succuumbed. I’m a sucker for deals and after getting the second letter from Chunghwa Telecom that I’m one of their platinum subscribers (guess all those NT$1,000++ bills paid off) and deserve a fresh mobile phone at a NT$1,500 discount, I finally gave in and bought this beauty: Sigh, so I’ve been on a […]

Today was weird. Every friend that I met today had warned me against SimpleGuy. Not because he ain’t cool, ’cause Top Climber who knows SimpleGuy personally thinks the world of him. “He’s a cool kid, Raven,” Top Climber commented. “But I just don’t see you two together.” Argh! Why’s that? “Well, you’ve always been picky […]

I’d like to believe I’m a pretty easy going person. Most of my friends have no qualms hanging out with me for a longer period of time. I would like to think I can listen well, am open to feedback, I generally keep my word, and extremely generous to those I care about. Geez, even […]
