First things first. What is a “meet cute?” This is how Wikipedia defines it: I first encountered this term in the movie The Holiday and have been enamored by it ever since. The term usually refers to a scene in fiction, but sometimes it does happen in real life, too. Here are some of […]
Riddlers Reunited
My friend Ngangi had a layover flight in Singapore, so we met for breakfast in Changi airport last Saturday. She and I are called the riddlers because of a funny story involving a mutual like for a giant book of riddles during our childhood (when we weren’t friends yet) which you can read about here. […]
Then and Now (vol 2)
You know those before and after pictures wherein people recreate their old photos? I like doing those. Here’s one we did recently… college edition. 😀 Here are a couple of pics of my family that we didn’t recreate but have similar backgrounds – flower gardens. There’s a 20-year gap between pictures. In case you missed […]
7 Favorite Romantic Comedies
Ooh it’s February, Valentine’s month! I’m a hopeless romantic, so I thought I’d kick off the first Sunday Seven of the month with my favorite romantic comedy films. It was so hard coming up with only seven because rom coms are my favorite movie genre and I have a bajillion faves, but after much soul […]
Bed Talk
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. […]
Funny Friday: Instant Communicator Edition
If you think Finance folks are boring people who spend most of their days just frowning at their Excel files, you’d be wrong. Sometimes, these happen in our Microsoft Communicator instant messages. ******* Mission Impossible Me : You can try S’s keyH : Oh where is it?Me : Here with me. Quick come get it […]
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. By some freak of nature, though, I was blessed with long lashes, so I have only one problem left to correct. Shue Uemura eyelash curler does a great job, […]
The Dog’s Horoscope and Peach Blossom Luck
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 […]
