Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
Listening to the “Moulin Rouge” soundtrack… State of being: Pretty much bored. Just 40 minutes before I can go hoooooooome! Wait, no. Not really. I still have Chinese classes to go to. Boo. Hoo. I don’t even know why I go. I mean, I never even review my lessons. Usually, I just go there and […]

When I was a kid, my parents had such a kick in making my little brother and I dress in the same outfits. It’s kinda scary though when adults wear the same outfits… Twins?! No, just a regular Asian couple…I see a lot of these in Taipei. Maybe it’s a global thing; I just don’t […]

I didn’t write this, but I wish I wrote this… Ambiguity * They are closer than good friends, but aren’t lovers. * They have a brother/sister relationship, but are afraid to call each other brother/sister. * People notice this relationship is not as simple as a brother/sister relationship. * They wait online to make contact […]

Just something that caught my fancy that I’d like to share… Eeeew… disgusting, isn’t it?

I joined in […]

All right, getting far from the topic of moving on. So the question, HOW was I able to move on so fast from my breakup? I think there are just three realizations that helped me move on… One, I gave myself time to mourn. I mourned for a week. My poor friends. I’d call them […]

It took me around two weeks to move on after I broke up with my ex. I can see you guys raising your eyebrows now. Just two weeks!!! Yes. Two weeks. Then comes the question, Did you love him? I guess, for some people, the amount of love you give someone is correlated to the […]

I came across an interesting poster at the Taipei Main Station last weekend: A don’t-commit-suicide poster: Regardless of what problems you have, there are other ways to resolve it…I found this poster quite interesting because back in the Philippines, you don’t see such posters around. You have posters targeted towards the youth that tells them […]

Every time a guy asks me out, I totally freak out. Imagine my thought process: “OMIGOSH!!! He likes me!!! OMIGOSH!!! But I don’t like him that much!” Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! This thought process seems to be normal here. In Taiwan or even the rest of Asia, if a guy asks you out (and this according to my […]

I’ve been duped again. Why is it almost the same story?! I meet this guy, with whom I have a fantastic connection. And after a thrilling emotional roller coaster ride of two weeks with constant flirting, great conversation and more, suddenly… It just stops. Just like that. It first starts out real hot, and then, […]
