Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
Recent research from Italy showed that reasonable drinking prolongs life. In glass-terms, it’s 3-4 glasses for men, and up to 2 glasses for women (imbalance is due to how male and female bodies process alcohol). On a good night out, my average is prolly two drinks, which I nurse the entire night. So I guess, […]

Do you believe in superstitions? People who read this blog know that I pretty much believe in horoscopes. After being asked what my zodiac sign is for the millionth time in a row, I looked in it and decided that there were some accuracy in discovering what that person’s horoscopes is. *Haha, should’ve listened earlier […]

My half-siblings are pretty sad — they live miserable lives and blame my dad, but force a smile and kiss my father’s ass in the hopes of getting a piece of the financial pie. What’s even sadder is there’s a likelihood my father is falling for it. Personally, I don’t really care about the $$$, […]

I’ve always raved about food in my blog, but never really collated a list of my top dining picks in Taipei. So here you go for your viewing pleasure: 1) Ruth’s Chris – If you don’t mind the $$$, it’s the best steak in Taipei. As a steak-lover, am in meat heaven. Kill me now. […]

Phew, it’s been such a bizzy weekend that I don’t even know where to start. We held our company party at Agora Garden Hotel with the theme of “Tai-Ke” last Friday. It was pretty fun, and didn’t really win the NT$50,000 grand prize (though happy that somebody in our department did), but heck, I was […]

Today’s our second office Christmas party for the entire bank (We had our first on a lovely French dinner and wine-tasting event at La Petit — more on that on later notes). And with every Christmas party, there’s also a corresponding theme to the event. This year, it’s Tai-Ke. OMG. What the heck is a […]

One of the perks in working for a prestigious bank — dining in a fine French restaurant (arguably the best in Taipei) and sipping uber-expensive Burgundy wine. Total cost of the meal per head: NT$6,000 (Php 9,000) That’s approximately the cost of my month’s rent, gone in just 4 hours and less. Last night, our […]

It’s lightly drizzling outside, emphasizing the fading rays of daylight. Feeling the pitter patters on your skin, the rain feels like snow. Reflecting the towering structures, the entire landscape is just beautiful. My gosh, I’ve been turned into a sentimentalist. Next thing you’ll know I’ll be jumping in the rain barefoot and singing. Sheesh. But […]

Oh no. Here we go again. The uncontrollable non-stop emotional roller coaster ride. This time, it’s NOT the Aussie guy, though he finally did send me a message last night while I was in my semi-date that left my heart thumping hard afterwards. Great timing, Aussie guy. Great timing. Okay, so I kinda like this […]

After finally having the time to think, it dawned to me that there were things that I felt bad about lately. The feeling stemmed from last Thursday where I attended the last Oriented event at Cosmo Grill. There I bumped into friends of friends whom I felt didn’t like me at all. Now, usually I’d […]

I have a few days of break during Christmas time — 10 days in fact. India came under consideration, but upon seeing that half of the days are spent in a car traveling from one point to the other, as well as its higher costs (do I have around NT$60,000 on hand?), the idea was […]
