"Socializing" Queen

This weekend was as busy, yet was as relaxing as ever. I’ve done so much socializing my head would burst, and yet, I feel happy on how my weekend went. FridayFriday was taking part of the Canadian Society’s Social Hour at the Brass Monkey. Some friends and I went there to promote our organization’s Holiday […]

Partying Up a Storm!

Went indoor wallclimbing last night at the YMCA-managed Shipai gym and it was so much fun. We usually go wallclimbing at Y17, somewhere near Ren-Ai Road, but decided to try this one out instead “for a change.” Shipai is a bit far from downtown Taipei, hence there were less people. However, we managed to get […]

More Lessons…

As you can see from my blog entries these past couple of weeks, I have been down on the dumps due to stress and pressures caused inside my organization, and the surrounding confusion in my personal life.

Too Many Singles!

I wrote this on September 15, 2005 — too busy to change the entry so I’m publishing this as is… My friends complain they haven’t found their significant someone yet.

A couple of friends have reacted negatively/positively on my “No More Miss Nice!” attitude/behavior/change of perception (whatever you may call it). A friend MSNd me a two days ago citing, “No […]

No More Miss Nice!

Don’t you see that you’re more agreeable when you’re younger? You want everyone to like you… You smile a lot more, leave your heart out on the open and speak your mind whenever you want. Think of a wild horse running in the green fields… unbridled and free… But after people hurt you a couple […]

ENOUGH!

I’m so glad that we went to Green Island a week ago. It gave me the break I desperately needed. After the pressures of life, my work and my organization, it felt great just to get away from it all! Here’s a rare picture of me asleep: The blue sky, the shining sun and the […]
