Polin

July 7, 2024 by Dee Leave a Comment

Dearest Gentle Readers, I have a new ship. It’s POLIN – or what the Bridgerton season 3 couple Penelope and Colin is known as. Now I’ve shipped a lot of fiction couples in history, but this is probably the one I relate to the most because I am like Penelope in a few ways: not […]

If You’re Single on Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2018 by Dee Leave a Comment

Today is Valentine’s Day aka Single Awareness Day, and I have to say that it is definitely the worst holiday for singles, with Christmas and New Year rounding up the big three. A character in the movie Love Actually says: “Christmas is a time for people with someone they love in their lives.” Well, Valentine’s […]

Cute Valentine’s Commercials

February 2, 2018 by Dee Leave a Comment

Well hello there, February, Valentine’s month! I have just the thing to start off this month of romance – cute romantic commercials. Most people hate commercials nowadays, but there are actually some commercials worth watching. Jollibee, the most famous fast food restaurant in the Philippines, has just released a new one for Valentine’s – as […]

My Maid of Honor Speech (plus Trash the Dress Photos)

December 29, 2016 by Dee 4 Comments

I was asked to be a maid of honor for the second time, this time by Flisha. This time around I didn’t panic so much about the speech, because based on my first experience, I knew I could probably write one last minute if need be, and I had witnessed another friend write hers in […]

The Worst Hangover {Fiction}

June 14, 2016 by Dee 4 Comments

“Wow what a coincidence, Sasha,” the blonde handsome potential client greeted Betty. She wanted to die right then and there. This was the worst hangover ever. And to think, the drinking had happened a week ago. “Sasha?” her new colleague Macy said in bewilderment. “Her name is Betty.” “But you told me your name was […]

The Fellowship of the Engagement Ring

July 30, 2015 by Dee 4 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, almost our whole team helped a colleague shop for an engagement ring during lunch break and it was super fun! There happens to be a lot of jewelleries right next to each other in Tampines mall, so it was easy to go jewellery-hopping and compare and contrast. After going to 4 […]

My Maid of Honor Speech (and Tips on How to Write One)

June 2, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 10 Comments

When Zenie first asked me to be her maid of honor, I was elated. What an honor! Then I got scared. OMG, what was a maid of honor supposed to do? And wasn’t there a speech involved? So I googled how to write such a speech, and tried drafting one in my head. Then I realized that […]

Kisses from the Future (Fiction)

April 13, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 8 Comments

Dear Love, I know you’re hurting right now and I’m so sorry that I’m not there to put my arms around you and wipe those tears from your eyes. It’s more painful for me to see you in pain than to be in pain myself. But I have no choice. God says you have to […]

Happily Ever After: Yen’s Fairytale

April 9, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 28 Comments

The last time Yen was a title on this blog, she was in a sad relationship. She was so sad, in fact, that while I was touring her in Sentosa island, she poured out her story with a heavy heart. “Maybe I should talk to the merlion about this,” she sighed. “What do you think of […]

An Inspiring Love Story: The Love That Gay Deserves

February 14, 2015 by Dee @ A Deecoded Life 8 Comments

I was going to try and write a short story for this Valentine’s day, but then I thought, why write fiction when I can just share the real life story of a friend? Real life stories are more inspiring, anyway, because they could actually happen to you and it’s not just another unrealistic standard set […]
