Last night, I went climbing with David T. at the Shipai gym. It was just the two of us this time, because both of us want to climb as much as we can. If I went tonight, there will be tons of people, and we’ll just find ourselves sitting on the bench most of the […]
Never tried this before in my blog as there’s always something that I can rant and rave about, but this seems like fun so here goes — a survey! Marital status: Single and ready to mingle! Shoe size: 8… I have big feet. And you know what they say about big feet… wait, am a […]
Written on October 5 from the Raven archives: Everyone tells me that I’m one of the more popular people in our organization. They say that given my shining personality, a smiling face and (ahem!) a hot attractive body, people are naturally drawn to me. They all think that guys are banging down my door. *scratches […]
Last Friday, I was so excited to watch “Memoirs of a Geisha,” the movie adaptation of my favorite book, starring Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Watanabe and Gong Li. Suzuka Ohgo, who played the younger version of Zhang Zi Yi was at her best, am sure she’ll be famous soon enough, while Gong Li portrayed […]
I am so tired. It’s been a long day. Imagine this, I managed to clock in around 6 hours of climbing today! This afternoon, my friend Mike S. and I “discovered” a bouldering gym at the heart of Taipei. You should’ve seen Mike’s face — it was pure ecstacy. He’s been so out of shape, […]
I’ve been looking at my friends’ blog. They’re the same couple I’m talking about who’s been married for almost 8 years come May. Reading their blog makes me smile. They talked about how they’re adjusting to their stay in Taiwan, their students (they’re English teachers) and it impresses me how much they do things together. […]
Last night, I talked to my girlpal, whose marriage is one people dream of.She and her husband married at a young age of 20 (19 for him), and have now been married for 8 years. But here’s the clincher — whereas people usually divorce after 7 years or so (hence the term, 7-year itch), my […]
Super busy morning. I have so much to say though since I’m upset with a friend, and it takes a lot to upset me. Last night, I was thinking whether I was right on being upset or not. Did he deserve it? Was I being fair? But while showering (I seem to think a lot […]

I have a confession to make. I’m a “schedule” freak. My office is in shambles… my room is messy. and I haven’t done my laundry in a while… but I like to organize my week in such a way that I’m doing something everyday. I think it stems from a fear of being alone. Living […]
* I wrote this last September 28, 2005 — one of the hardest days ever — and just posting it now because I’m too lazy and brain dead to write a new entry. Hopefully, it can shed some light on how I feel about being totally out of control of a situation at that time, […]
Weekend’s been relatively quiet. Well, for one, Ex #2 is back in town. And Raven bangs her head on the wall. After over three weeks of “distance” and having dinner with a friend at a nice Turkish Kebab restaurant, Raven found herself hanging out with him and his friends because it’s their friend’s 41st birthday […]
