Henri Nouwen was right when he said, “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The […]

Last weekend was sooooooo tiring. It was so tiring that on two consecutive days, I collapsed in bed after arriving home and went straight to sleep (on Saturday, managed to stay awake to take off my makeup, wash my face and change into my pajamas so that didn’t count). Nevertheless, it was fun, as always. […]
Sigh, sometimes I ask myself why I subject myself to such torture? Instead of finding an agent to help me do the legwork, I am instead the one taking steps to help myself find an apartment. My specifications are simple: * Big room with big closet (to fit all my clothes)* Walking distance to any […]
Most of you know how much I love trying out new restaurants, and I’ve had my share of nice restaurants to try around in Taipei. Hence, from this day on, I’ll periodically post a brief review of the restaurants I’ve recently tried out, and liked just so you yourself can give it a try. They’ll […]
As promised, here are some of the pictures of the COMPUTEX girls that I promised the boys. This was from my trip there last Friday afternoon. With 4 exhibition halls, this year’s COMPUTEX is one of the biggest COMPUTEX exhibitions yet: NVIDIA women were pretty cute, although their games were pretty lame: Renesis’ were pretty […]

However, since I promised you guys at least one entry a day, here’s something I’d like to share with you. […]
My life’s about to change… As it’s been changing the past couple of weeks… There’ll be additions, revisions and cancellations in my life right now… Frankly, it’s scary. Change puts a fear in our hearts, I don’t really know what to expect. But challenging as well. And yet, oh so liberating. I feel alive. So […]
Just want to break my commentary on my Myanmar trip to just say that I’ve been very busy recently with work and am going to COMPUTEX late this afternoon, and so this will be one of my shortest posts ever! Brought my camera, so prepare to salivate over pictures over hot Intel, ATI and NVIDIA […]
At the Sule Pagoda, we met this nice man. Haha, that’s what’s good when you’re a foreigner in a foreign land, there are always friendly locals who would want to strike a friendship with you: He explained that he works for the government as a woodcarving teacher, whose hometown was situated in Mandalay (Myanmar’s 2nd […]
Hello, hello! Sorry for the blogging hiatus again, but the bird’s back from her magnificent trip to Burma/Cambodia! The entire trip was great! Definitely a place that one has to go to in his/her lifetime! Hence, even if this Raven’s already a couple of $$$ poorer than she was before, this trip was still able […]
