The season 4 finale of Modern Family, “Goodnight Gracie,” made me think. In the episode, Phil’s mom died, so everyone flew over to Florida for the funeral. Alex said she and her grandma had a special bond, that the latter had always said that Alex was a lot like her. But she didn’t get why […]
The Great Gatsby {Movie Review}
I read The Great Gatsby as a child but that was so long ago that I forgot what it was all about, so I went in with no expectations. And how was it? I loved it! It lived up to its name: GREAT. It’s one of the best movies I have seen this year. Well […]
Favorite Films
Our beach date was not going as planned. “It’s about to rain,” he pointed out, gesturing at the dark clouds. “Can’t you ask Mr. Sun to keep it at bay?” I pleaded. “You’re close, right?” I was referring to the fact that part of his name literally meant the word sun. “Yes, and he told […]
Star Trek Into Darkness {Movie Review}
First things first: I am not a hard core trekkie. I have never seen any of the TV series episodes nor any of the older films. The only Treks I’ve been on (pun completely intended) are the latest incarnations, and I loved them both. Here’s the thing: I never would even have watched them if […]
The Mother
“I am going to kill The Mother on HIMYM,” Chi typed in our chat room of four, after three of us gave our opinions about The Mother. “I don’t understand you!!” Poor Chi doesn’t watch How I Met Your Mother. “Hahaha. Sorry! But after 8 seasons of waiting, they finally showed The Mother,” I explained. […]

Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you
May the force be with you. If you’re not familiar with that iconic line, you must have been living under a rock for the past three decades. Star Wars is so famous that it’s referenced everywhere. So even if you hadn’t seen it, you’d still know about it. In books. In memes. In spoofs. In humor […]
Iron Man 3 {Movie Review}
Iron Man 3 finally made it to Singapore’s big screens and we watched it yesterday. Mildred and I were most excited because he is our favorite Avenger. I even programmed this into my calendar so we wouldn’t forget to buy tickets. Iron Man 3 follows not two but three prequels – Iron Man, Iron Man […]
Worst Weakness
My friend once described me in a lengthy post which ended with this line: “Greatest weakness and strength – Love.”Oh boy. Is it ever. One of the most painful moments of my life was when I first got my heart broken as a teen. He was my first love. I was so crazily, unhealthily in […]
Valuing Vincent
Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer’s day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Do you know that song? It was one of the songs on our multiplex tape when I was a child. I didn’t like it then. Whenever the tape came around to […]
