I was referring to literal bed stuff – you know, pillows, bed sheets, etc? Why, what did you think this post was going to be about?? My bed is without a doubt my most favorite spot in our flat. I moved a couple of months ago and got upgraded from a single to a queen […]

Happy Year of the Wooden Horse!
Happy Chinese New Year! CNY is the biggest holiday in Singapore, so almost all the malls and establishments are closed today (the equivalent of Holy Week in the Philippines). Normal offices are closed too, but since our office caters to non-Singapore-based clients, we have to work. Most of our Chinese colleagues are on leave, though, […]
7 Ways to Save Money
“Dee, let’s be thrifty buddies, okay?” my roommate suddenly pleaded with me last night. “I need to save money for my trip.” “Okay, sure!” I replied, because saving money is actually on my list of new year’s resolutions this year. I also want to save enough money to go on a trip outside Asia soon. […]

Beauty Talk Shop Eyelash Perm and Facial
One of the problems of Asian women is that we usually have short, straight eyelashes. So much so that falsies and eyelash extensions are common here.

The biggest holiday in Singapore is coming up next week – Chinese New Year. Malls and stores are all decked out in Chinese New Year decors and peddling mandarins, lucky charms, and red underwear (for good luck). Meanwhile, salons are charging additional “Chinese New Year” fees for haircuts and pedicures, because everyone is getting them […]
My Bestfriend’s Birthday Surprise: “Open When” Letters
It’s one of my bestie’s 30th birthday today so I decided to surprise her with 30 “open when” letters. I got the idea after reading Tiffany’s blog about doing it as an anniversary gift for her boyfriend. Let me explain what that means and how I did it. First, I took 30 plain mailing envelopes and […]
It’s Okay to be a Damsel in Distress Sometimes
“What happened, actually?” the doctor asked me after he had tended to my wounds. “I… ummm… fell,” I explained ruefully. “So clumsy.” You’d think there should be an age limit for bloody knees, but no. Bella* struck again yesterday. I was just walking back to the office after eating dinner when I lost my balance […]
What Does Your Name Mean?
They say that each name means something and that the name you are bestowed with shapes your life. Now my father had changed the spelling of my name to accommodate his numerology beliefs, so when I use normal name meaning books or sites, I won’t find an accurate meaning of my name. But then I […]
7 Trivia About Prince William and Kate
Since it was the Duchess of Cambridge’s birthday last January 9, I thought I’d repost this blog which originally appeared as a guest post on The Home of the Twisted Red Ladybug. I am a huge fan of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I am as old as them both, actually, and my brother is […]
