Evenings at Home…

Despite the rain, evenings at home are made so much better with some flowers on the table, some nice smells, and this: Amazing what a few touches from Ikea and other cheap stuff can do to your mood! My vase from the other day only cost me HKD10 from Jusco (Hong Kong’s HKD10 store) while […]

Summary & Analysis: DB’s View on the Dodd-Frank Act

Guess what I found from Sorzi’s blog which I’m a complete fan of especially when he updates! It’s a summary of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed a few days ago. If you’d want to read the originals, provided that you can get ahold of it, it’s a whooping 2,319 pages! That’s enough for a doorstop […]

WTF, Apple?!

Apologies to all the Apple fans out there, but what the hell is going on with your products? Yes, I do appreciate the convenient touch-screen screen, the ability to download thousands of apps for free to my device and your very cute photo-attach-to-my-contact capability. Now I do know that other smartphones may have the same […]

Why My Days Are Perfect…

Though I’m super sad that I’ll soon be moving out of my lovely apartment, I enjoy the last few days of it by reminiscing of all the memories I’ve had of this place in the past. What’s more, thanks to my friend JM whom I’ve met in my Singapore trip, I’ve decided to freshen the […]

Giving Up on Taiwan

People who know me personally know that I’m an avid fan of Taiwan. For example, I don’t think that Taiwan will ever return to the Mainland China fold though they’ll work more closely together, economically. The Taiwanese are far too nationalistic to accept being seen as Mainland Chinese. I also believe that Taiwan is just […]

Prioritizing your Love Life

I just came out from a lunch with an old university friend. We were having a catch-up chat from last month’s lunch when we were discussing on how she can further improve her business. You see, she quit her corporate job about a year ago to embark on an entrepreneural mission. “It’s for the experience, […]

Doubts – and hope

When people find out that I’m nearing the big 3-0, the inevitable questions start… “Do Trader and yourself have plans of getting married?” “Had your parents start pressuring you to get married? I know mine am…” And who can blame them, seriously? Back in the Philippines, my friends on average started getting married by the […]

Is it really all about the money?

Last night, I read something interesting off the Net. Is it really all about the money? He wonders that men do not really choose women based on how much they make. Whereas for women, a man’s earning power is a huge factor on whether they would like to date someone or not. The article is […]

I Feel Like James Bond

There is nothing scarier than hiding the truth. Or stretching the truth for that matter. Actually, my parents do not really know that I’ve already resigned from my firm and had been traveling for a month and counting. The most knowledgeable of them all, my mom, thinks that I’ll be doing Egypt later in August. […]

Getting to know each other… more.

I am lazily lounging about having a fresh cup of coffee. Trader is right by his computer watching a show. He’s taken his medical leave today given his severe backache (not my fault at all) and is just relaxing after several weeks of tiring work. Life with Trader nowadays have revolved into a routine. He’s […]
