Business. Relationships. Love. Life.
Trader and I visited Taiwan last weekend and gorged on its cheap eats at the Night Market. Boy, Trader was like a little boy let lose in the candy store. He LOVED everything! I took him to the cheapest place there is for terrific food. Here are our favorites: 1) Spicy Wantons (TWD40+ an order) […]

Last week, I joined Trader and his friends on a week-long trip out of town. Trader and I had traveled together before but this is the first time we’ve gone out together for this long. People say that couples who travel together can either 1) get even closer, or 2) kill each other. You can […]

Last year, my parents told me that I can now officially date. Now turning 29, I’m dating this really nice guy, relocated to a new country and are celebrating by parent-sitting this week. My dad is constantly in my back about Trader. “Can he support you? Maybe I’ll need to support him?” He takes great […]

Just got back from a terrific weekend get-away with Trader, and coming back, I really think WE could work. 😀 “That’s what I’ve been telling you for the beginning,” my sweet love patiently reminded me. “What?” I murmured as I was trying to book my flight back to the Philippines come Christmas.

After over half a year of no vacations, decided to cash in and join a Canto-speaking tour to Turkey. No, I cannot speak any Canto but figured that I can easily get by with a reliable tourbook in hand and I was right. Not only were the tours reasonably priced, but given that Turkey’s such […]

2008 passed by so fast — where has it gone? In a way, it seems that 2008 was the transitional year. It was the year when I deepened my expertise in project and relationship management, in addition to actually making a mark in the institution I worked for. It was also the year of many […]

21 boxes of boxes — that’s what it took to pack a whole lot of memories in these six years. In a few hours, I’ll be leaving Taiwan. Sayonara, cai jian, bye bye baby. Last night, I had a relaxing farewell dinner with colleagues at People and then caught up for some drinks with a […]

I’m back! Okay, I admit it… Sri Lanka was different from what I expected. I went in with a lot of misconceptions that were debunked as early as the first day. In fact, my real draw of Sri Lanka was that it was as messy as India, as historical and archeological as Cambodia and the […]

I am at the Changi Airport in Singapore as a stopover to Sri Lanka. Earlier this afternoon, had stopped over in the spanking new Hong Kong airport. Oh, I feel exhausted after having travelled to countries at the same time. The ironic thing is, wasn’t even aware of my Singapore stopover until we landed in […]

Feeling a bit blue, I need to pop myself happy a bit. And what better to do than to make a slightly more narcissistic post than before? 🙂 As I was riding the MRT home, I asked myself, what made me different from most women? Given that everybody’s beautiful and special, there should be a […]
