A Whole New World

Last night, I had the great chance to view my friend David T. perform his first and last performance with his band, “Requim Birth” at the Living Room. He’s the drummer, and it’s their first and last because their guitarist is moving to Taichung. They composed their own song, and they were so good. My […]

Do nice guys finish last?

Do nice guys finish last? I’ve talked about nice girls before… and if they finish last. My answer? No, they don’t. In actuality, guys like nice women. But nice isn’t enough. To be attractive to men, nice women also have to take care of themselves (at least stay fit), come with a personality (no boring, […]

Nothing beats the blues by spending time with your best friends… They’re those who are always looking after for your best interest and tells you as it is, even if the truth hurts. And, when you start feeling bad or cry, they’re always there to give you a big ready hug, and tell you the […]
