Email Etiquette

What’s it with people? E-groups is for everybody’s eyes. Private email is just for you and the receiver. If the issue is merely between two people, why broadcast it to the rest of the world?

This Weekend — Exciting as Always!

What did I do last weekend? Well, aside from the eat-all-you-can Korean BBQ dinner and social party at the Shannon that evening, after an hour’s sleep, went to Yangming Mountain to check out the sunrise and the hot springs… Drove across the North Coast to see the eroded rocks in Yeliu… Checked out the morning […]

Sunday

It’s Sunday and am in the office slaving away… But don’t think that all this work makes Raven a dull girl! Yesterday was a B-L-A-S-T! Shoot, my muscles are super sore though. Am in serious need for a massage! What did I do? Well, you’d just have to wait for it, but guaranteed it’s not […]

Raven’s mad

I abhor conflict. I avoid it like a plague and I don’t deal with it unless necessary. I know it’s not the way you deal with things, but it’s my life, and I deal with issues MY way. So who are you to tell me how to live MY life? Honestly, conflicts don’t bother me […]

Restless weekend — Literally!

The weekend was a marathon of fun and sleeplessness. On Saturday, I was representative for my Toastmaster Club for the District A Humorous Speech Contest and won second place. Didn’t really think I was particularly funny — my speech was entitled, “Dating: The Taiwanese Way,” and people may have found it hilarious as I shared […]

An Inconvenient Truth + Guessing Game

Guess what’s so special about tonight? I’ll give you a clue: If anybody can guess right what’s so special about this ticket, I’ll treat him/her to a movie of his/her choice.

26 and a Happy Birthday to me!

Boo hoo, one year older at 26!!! 🙁 Wow, how time runs SO fast, and again, I look in awe on how my life had changed 180 degrees in just the past couple of months. I’m much different from the woman I was before. Exactly a year ago, I was broken, confused, lost and unhappy. […]

F*ck!

Lost my wallet — again! Total damage? Around NT$7,300, plus the hassle of applying for ANOTHER ARC and credit cards. F*ck, f*ck… Fuck. As they say, if the same shit happens to you all over again, it’s not you, it’s me. I’ve gotta learn the lesson sooner or later before I lose any more money! […]

Age matters?

When I was still with Ex#2, you can’t imagine my surprise and happiness upon finding out that the husband of my dear friend and Chinese tutor, Iris, was 18 years older than her — that’s the exact age gap Ex#2 and I had. They got married when she was 25, and he was somewhere in […]

Mind your own business!

I don’t f*cking care what people think. This evening, a good friend of mine told me that some people were starting to talk about me. Or in particular, my very good friend MS, who was recently divorced. “The thing is Raven,” my friend said, “He got divorced too fast and too soon. All of a […]
