Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
Hai ho… hai ho… It’s off to Burma I go… La… la… la….la…! La… la… la….la…! Hai ho… hai ho hai ho hai ho…! Wheeeeeee! It’s GREAT to travel again! Get out from the office… Escape from the dreary Taipei weather… See the temples! Sigh, even though I’ll be tens of thousands bucks poorer. Raven’s […]

First, there was DR, who worked with me in the organization; Max and his girlfriend Emily, a long-time friend Enrique and JF. So where did Raven go this morning? Here are some pictures to give […]

What do you do when people are starting to talk about your ex? Last night, I attended the dazzling ORIENTED Happy Hour that was held at the Grand Hyatt poolside that’s located at the 5th floor. Because we travel around the same circles, of course, my sociable ex was also there, minging around and pouring […]

This morning, I read an article written by Kristin Armstrong (world-reknowned cyclist, Lance Armstrong’s ex wife) that’s entitled, “What I Wish I had Known about Marriage.” It would be nice if you, women especially could read the entire article, but if you’re just breezing through, here are some excerpts and my stand on it: She […]

This week I went to the driving range with some friends. As I’ve raved about it two Tuesday ago, you can really say that I’ve absolutely enjoyed the experience. Regardless, I’ve also noticed one thing while at the driving range… I’ve noticed that while I was concentrating hard on whacking the balls to fly high […]

Well, just to finish my report on my exciting/relaxing weekend, on Friday, I had a nice dinner at this divine Japanese restaurant called Peony Japanese Cuisine at Hsin-Yi Road, just at the back of Taipei 101. The ambience was great, and even the tableware was impressive, made out of stone and rock. The food was […]

My colleagues and I just came across Tealit.com’s page for personals last week. We just couldn’t help ourselves… some postings were just hilarious! Take for example, surprice… surprice, this woman believes that life is full of “surprices!“ An online ad is like your resume — Using a few words, you try to sell yourself and […]

Here’s Chinglish at its very best, thanks to a notice posted by the elevators at my colleague’s apartment last night: Umm… it uses all these English characters, but I just don’t get it. They seem to use a lot of complicated words as well! Can you make any sense out of it? 😀 Going crazy […]

Shhhhh… Last night, I got wet and wild with the French cutie. It was raining so who could blame us? 😉 After a night of climbing (walls my dear, not each other… ahem!), he took me home on his brand-new puma-like motorcycle. Punier than a Harley-Davidson (of course!) BUT way tougher and more bad-ass than […]

Okay, I admit it. I get extremely jealous whenever I my friends/acquaintances tell me about their interesting adventures around the world. From daring to hike up the snowy mountains of Tibet… Going horseback riding in the acrid deserts of Mongolia for days… Spending a whole month learning how to surf in Australia and enjoyed the […]

If you’ve lived in Taiwan, you’ve definitely seen them. I’m talking about T.G.F.s — a buzzword I’ve learned this weekend. What does T.G.F. mean anyway? According to my friend, Top-Climber, T.G.F.s stand for “Taiwanese Girlfriends.“ They’re hot… Look good… But the stereotype is, they lack substance necessary to sustain a long-term relationship. “Do you know […]
