Give and Take

There has been a lot of giving and taking after I got married. Husband is out now with wannabe entrepreneur good friend as they tinker with toys that will hopefully make them millions. I’m at home blogging, waiting for him to get home so I can brush my teeth, take a shower and go to […]

I have never been Ms. Popular

I am your typical firstborn: arrogant, bossy and a know-it-all.  As the only child, I felt that the world revolved around me. That didn’t last long. When my sibling was born, I felt he was a pest and only existed for me to learn how to “share” things which were supposed to be only mine in […]

I’ve become one of those moms…

Welcome to my worst nightmare. I have become one of those moms who… …Post constant and annoying updates about their offspring.  It has come to this: Almost all of my status updates on Facebook and Instagram are about my daughter.  Whaaatt?! I simply find her cute and I want to record the moment for posterity.  […]

When you’re pissed and you know it, write a post

Someone set an appointment for which I had to go to Makati for. Anyone who understands the traffic condition in Manila knows that to get anywhere, you have to allocate at least two hours of travel time. Consequently, I had to cancel my morning meetings to accommodate this request. The person didn’t show up. And […]

Short Talk: Eye Problem

I scratched my eyes too roughly this weekend that a blood vessel popped, resulting to a half-bloody right eye. Trust me, I looked like Frankenstein’s evil queen. 🙁 Given its relative seriousness (it doesn’t hurt or isn’t really itchy, but admittedly, I do look terrible), my colleagues told me to go and see an opthalmologist. […]

When I’m happy in love…

…my best entries don’t come out. All I have are sappy “I’m-so-happy-and-he’s-so-wonderful” type of posts and I know that my readership goes way down. Haha, down from a peak of around 800 readers at my emo peak, to a measely 100 in a day. Bah. Nobody even comments anymore. 🙁 Oh well, that’s all fine […]

Reprint: Decisions

The Moment to Decide by Paulo Coelho: The warrior of the light is terrified when faced with important decisions. “That is too great for you,” says one friend. “Go on, be brave,” says another. And his doubts only increase. After some days of anxiety, he withdraws into a corner of his tent, where he usually […]

Sometimes…

…it’s more courageous to actually do something about it, than just to stand there, follow the status quo and do nothing. Which is why I came to Hongkong, as uncomfortable as it may seem. Which is why I am alone, though every pore of my being yearns to be with someone. Which is why I […]

I’m a fan

This woman is so talented that it’s crazy. She learned how to play the piano at the age of four, wrote her first piano ballad at 13, and began performing at open mic nights by the age of 14. Her songs, “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” has reached the top of charts in multiple countries. […]

“Watchmen”

Interesting new movie from DC Comics directed by 300 Zack Snyder was watched by your faithful blogger this evening. The movie features a deconstruction of the superhero genre and used a lot of wordy dialogue that left me more confused than intrigued. Nonetheless, it was a movie that I had to watch as 300 is […]

TGIF

Gosh, this week has been quite exhausting! Fortunately, someone gave me a good jolt of reality to bring me back to my balance. Is this woman unbalanced? Absolutely. My mind’s stressed out. My body’s screaming and aching. My stress levels are high. I need to balance, right now before I go out of my mind. […]
