Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
Okay, so I am one jealous chick. There, I admit it. It all started this weekend when Trader tells me that he has been exchanging chats with random people to get market rumors that will help him make the right trades. All I heard was a name of a woman who was part of the […]

The first week before semester starts consist of our Residential Program (RP) and Experiential Learning Program (ELP). And all I can say is, we survived. I think that RP truly meant to be RIP, while ELP meant HELP. 🙁 Here are some interesting tidbits about the program: 1) They group you in the worst group […]

Thanks dee for teaching me not to sweat the small stuff. And that getting ahead doesn’t necessarily mean that I’d have to kill myself first to get to my goals. As I am with him longer, I gradually realize that he is such a smart man that I would love to follow. Yes, we are […]

MBA life is starting to feel overwhelming. Forget the small dorm room and the single-sized bed, which by the way has enabled me to wake up consistently the past three nights days at 9am since the bed is so small and hard, but the feeling of being with similarly competitive people and fast pace of […]

There are times when we’re stuck, with no solutions in sight. Today is one of those times. The ultimatum just arrived: Trader’s parents hate me, and they want Trader to break up with me. He is of course, sad about all these. Through these years, he’s always been a very good boy and an amazing […]

More frills and pastels. Lovely bows and soft chiffon. Twinkles and stardust. A woman can show her strength in her delicacy. It’s an art, me thinks, and I don’t really have that ability to pull it off. I find giggling difficult. Mingling with females predominantly is not really my thing. Though I love to shop […]

Day 3: Edfu Temple We wake up in a more forgiving 5:45 am to travel on horse driven carriages to the Edfu Temple in where else? The town of Edfu. The town itself lies in the middle of Luxor (100 kilometers south) and Aswan (115 kilometers north). A simple town, most of the shops are […]

Though I’ll be officially moving in my dormroom later this Sunday after I send my parents to the airport (yes, I do spoil them), I’ve already managed to clean up my place and load it up. My first thought after I entered the dormroom: “My gosh, it’s tiny!” The distance between the door to the end […]

My parents are here! They arrived yesterday afternoon and we’ve been together ever since. Here’s the shocker though: After suffering from pneumonia a few weeks ago, my 75-year old father is such in a weak state. He finds it difficult to walk long distances (e.g., he shuffles more than he walks) and my mom tells […]

Before you move, you have to deal with terminating your contracts with your internet/cable, gas and electricity companies lest you seek to forgo your deposits and be penalized for the new tenants fault. Since I have already spent over an hour on the phone talking to various customer service representatives, I’ve thought of sharing with […]

Last night, I was having dinner with a good girlfriend of mine. Her story later. But my tired Trader needed to go to bed earlier. He was recovering from a cold and was hoping to be asleep by 10:00 pm for maximum outcome. “Bonita, I’m going to sleep,” he SMS’d me. I had asked him […]

Featuring the best son-of-a-bitch (literally) Donald Draper, who can basically charm the socks off from your grandma. 😀 I especially love the work of Joan, the catty chief secretary of Sterling Cooper who for some reason manages to sleep with many of the men in the office. Have you seen her curves and her diva […]
