Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
While I was having dinner, a thought went into my head: “My gosh, it’s really dull and boring here.” Maybe it’s because I always need to accompany my parents everywhere they go, but I can distinctly feel the lack of freedom back home. It’s even a thing of comfort as I drink a Vodka Mudshaker […]

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Sunday was spent going to church where I hobnobed with some old friends. I find it surprising that people I used to be really close to and hang out with are limited to mere hi and “hellos. It’s the distance — after you lose touch with people, it’s inevitable that […]

How do the Chinese get rich? They split a sandwich into four and share it among themselves. They park in a subdivision and walk a longer distance because it’s free instead of paying Php40 at a parking lot. They make full use of their senior citizen cards so they can get 20% discount from food […]

It’s my third day in Manila, and it passed by my having my first fight, este “discussion” with my dear sweet brother, ending with us both not sleeping till 430 in the morning and my crying into the night. Like any fights, it started pretty small. It was already midnight, and we only had one […]

Hey guys! It’s been two days since I’ve written, and just to give you an update… I’m back home in lovely Manila with my family and lil’ brother! The upside or downside, depending on how you look at it is that I’m being fed at least five times a day with yours truly eating breakfast, […]

I got this email last Friday, January 20, from my mom, who has listed down her and my dad’s plans for me after I wrote her inquiring about my future prospects. When I read the email, I cried a bit because it’s scary knowing how my parents are trying to control my life. In particular, […]

I’m going back to the Philippines for a 10-day vacation this week. I can’t wait! I miss home, and I can’t wait to finally touch my parents and my little brother and hug them tight after a year of not being able to do so. I can also meet up with old pals and see […]

I remembered my ex and I were walking in the park (haha, I love walking home) and he was being the devil’s advocate asking, “It’s not that I’m not for marriage… I’d like to get married again. But what’s a marriage certificate for anyway? It’s just a piece of paper! It’s no guarantee of happy […]

I am now at a crossroad. I wonder where life is taking me? I can’t really go back. My mom just sent me a sad email on how things are at home. I know if I go back permanently, I will not be happy. I’ll lose my spirit. But where else can I go? At […]

Hey guys, guess what crazy Raven did in the heart of winter?! She checked out an amusement park in Taichung! 😉 I’ve been to Yemay (Global Music Village) over a year ago with my Japanese friends. At that time, I was so down in the dumps because Ex# 1 have just left for Japan. The […]

Ally, one of the readers in this blog has asked me about monthly living expenses in Taipei. I was just going to answer via the comment section when I thought that other people may be interested on how much I spend here in a daily basis, just in case they are thinking of moving Taiwan. […]

*I can’t believe I wrote this almost two years ago on March 30, 2004 and found it on my email archives. I wrote this at the height of my feelings for Ex #1. What’s funny about this is that now I read it, it’s still applicable now with Ex #2! My gosh, when should I […]
