3rd Time’s a Charm

My blog is my journal. A way to express my deepest thoughts, my secret fears, my constant insecurities. It’s a venue where I can freely show who I am without judgement, talk to myself with nobody thinking I’m bonkers, and to see and chronicle my thoughts out in a white blank page, hopefully to last for […]

Going Through Life Alone

This week was a great mix of work and play. Despite working my arse off all week, I managed to spice up my social life by dropping by Barcode for a friend’s bye-bye party before grooving to the music at Room 18 till the wee hours of the morning. Sure, waking up on Saturday sucks, […]

Ugly Duckling

Allow me to let you in a little secret — I was butt ugly as a child. Some kids were cute because they looked fat and adorable. Meanwhile, with my round face, small eyes and pug nose, I looked more like a pug than a doll. So when people asked me if I was cute […]

Real

I wish there was a person with whom I can totally be real with. I’m tired of pretending. No, I’m not as confident as you may think. A lot of times, I doubt my own capabilities as well. Some people intimidate me, and at times, I fear about being and staying alone. I am tired […]

Ramblings

2.5 weeks

2.5 weeks. That’s the amount of time that I gave my assistant before calling him into a conference room, and telling him that unfortunately, he isn’t a good fit for the job. My company has never let a temporary employee go before, and my case should be the first time. I feel like crap bringing […]
