A blogger’s best friend is someone who loves to read her blog and appreciates it to the point that she loves being featured in it and sharing it with all of her own friends. My friend Dred is that for me. She is the self-proclaimed #1 fan of my blog. Just recently during her 5th […]
How to Get the Attention of an Actor Staying in Your Hotel
My friend Arlyn is in Manila for a business trip. The night before her flight, she, her brother Armar and I decided to go out for dinner and ended up at Munch Saladsmith & Rotisserie in Paya Lebar Square, because I had entertainer app vouchers for their salads. We thought the salads were a tad too […]
My Roaring Twenties
Our company is having its yearend dinner and dance party at Alkaff Mansion, so now that I’ve been asked to rejoin the social committee, I checked out the place with some colleagues last Tuesday. The courtyard is quite pretty. The marquee is bare at the moment but it has the potential to look beautiful at night, […]
My Maid of Honor Speech (and Tips on How to Write One)
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 […]
Blogger Problems
Are you familiar with the First World Problems meme? They are frustrations and complaints that are only experienced by privileged individuals in first world countries. It is typically used as a tongue-in-cheek comedic device to make light of trivial inconveniences. Well I guess blogger problems are sort of like these, aren’t they? So let’s get […]
How to Escape the Friend Zone
“How do you escape the friend zone?” a guy colleague of mine asked during a drinking session one night. “You should not be such a Mr. Nice Guy,” a girl colleague replied, coolly blowing smoke into the air. She was the kind of girl who knew what she was talking about, I supposed. She had […]
You’re* (Woes of a Grammar Nazi)
Sometime ago I saw this post which had me giggling. I confess that I am a bit of a grammar nazi. I know my grammar isn’t perfect, but I can’t help it. It irks me when people make simple mistakes, like misspell words such as “lose” as “loose” or “shucks” as “shocks.” Another main gripe of mine is when […]
eXpat Problems
Are you familiar with the First World Problems meme? Well I’m taking a stab at it, but on expat problems instead. (1) I got invited to another wedding the month after a wedding that I am already attending. I don’t have the budget for the double plane fare, so I’m sorry but I’ll have to pass. (2) I don’t understand most of the posts on […]
7 Reasons Why I Kissed Online Dating Goodbye
Unlike some people I personally know, I don’t frown upon online dating as a way to meet significant others. Also, I think people who do are way too judgmental. Hello! Welcome to modern times! Most single friends I know have dabbled in it. I have a couple of cousins who met husbands this way, so I […]
The Perks of Being a Blogger
(1) You get to “taste life twice” thanks to your archives which allows you to relive memories. I know everyone else takes pictures these days and can do that through those, too, but believe me, pictures do not capture everything. It amazes me how I can read my old posts and go, “This happened? I had completely […]
