I made it!!! And before I roll up my sleeves and get back to work, I just want to take this moment to breathe deeply, pray to God for His many blessings, and thank you all for your prayers, especially on those extremely stressful November weeks. I don’t know how it happened, and am still […]
2007: An Amazing Work-Centric Year As I look back and recollect the highlights of my year, it surprises me that most of the ups and downs were almost related to work! For example, here were some of 2007’s most notable figures: * Countries visited: 5 — 1 work-related and the rest to de-stress myself from […]
…that moving forward often seems as if you’re moving alone? Aside from a brief luncheon with Top-Climber last Tuesday, I’ve been a hermit the entire week, holing myself up in an airconditioned room for hours to come poring through a book. There’s a 60-40 chance that I pass, leaning towards the pessimistic view… and yet […]
*Backdated October 16 — so do forgive me if a few things are already outdated: In light of this blog’s annual tradition, a brief rundown on how my year of being 26 is in order and what have or have not changed over the past year: I spent 26 completely single. There, I said it. […]
I think one of the reasons I like placing my thoughts down on paper (or via a blog) is somehow, ideas that were formed in my head suddenly become a lot more real. From their formlessness springs reality, and everything just became a lot clearer. Case in point, this was a week where our entire […]
Since last Tuesday, I’m 27 years old! *Shudders* NOT a good thing when a day before your birthday, you bump into an acquaintance, who after finding out you’ll be turning 2-7 the next day nonchalantly comments: “Oh, so you have 3 more years left…” I shot her a look. “3 more years of what?” “Well, […]
It’s typhoon day and I found myself finishing this list — at long last! It’s been over a year since I’ve come with a list — and at a point of being uber-narcissistic, am again recording my legacy by listing down another 100 things about myself. Hate it or love it — it’s my blog […]
Today, I discovered a fellow food lover, AT. We were supposed to have dinner last Thursday to no avail. So we made a date to see each other today and it was really fun. So what is a food lover? Not only shall they love food, but food lovers should actively seek trying out new […]
This manga talks about Japanese women, but seem to relate to Taiwanese women as well. Heck, it relates to women around the world. Period! Haha, this is funny — Career Woman sounds so much like me right now, minus the moolah. 😉 Sometimes, I wonder, is it better to just act feminine, weak and cute. […]
Sometimes, Taiwan just drives me nuts. Despite being here for over 4 years to date, there are still things that I can’t understand about this country. Therefore, ignoring the risk that you’ll be pummeling me with rotten eggs and tomatoes in exchange for my right to free speech, here goes: 1) The attack of the […]
Enough is enough. I’ve reached the end of the line with all the partying. My lil brother who never gets out because my daddy’s super strict will kill me for saying this, but too much partying is truly bad for your health. As I was walking home alone once again last night after a night […]
I sometimes wonder what’s it like if I didn’t come to Taiwan. Would life would’ve been any different? My guess is, thanks to my Atenean degree and my rich leadership background, it would’ve been possible for me to be employed in some of the leading multinationals in the Philippines. In fact, a day after I […]
