When the movie Before Midnight came out last year, I realized that perhaps it was time to finally watch the first two movies that came before it, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, before I watch it. (Wow that was a lot of befores in a sentence.) As I watched the first movie, I was hit […]
Unhappiness is…
… reality falling short of our expectations. That’s what I realized from watching 500 Days of Summer. It’s true, though, isn’t it? So I guess the moral lesson is to not have high expectations? Like with me and that movie. See, years ago, a close friend of mine said she didn’t like that movie, so […]
Pain is a Necessary Evil
Recently I had some unpleasant news. As I cried about it to my friends, one of them said something profound. “Maybe, just maybe, this pushes you to get out of the situation,” she said. “Like me, I cried several times, because of my job, and that was what pushed me to finally quit it to […]
Monopod Selfies are the Best Selfies Ever
Last year, I bought a hand held monopod, which is a gadget you attach to your camera to allow you to kind of extend your arm and take a shot of yourself using the timer function. Think tripod but with one leg, hence the name. Since then, life has never been the same. Okay, I […]
Jamie Lived at the End of A Walk to Remember, Right?
When I was in college, my friend Tope introduced me to Nicholas Sparks. No, not in person, I meant his book, A Walk to Remember. I remember reading the first chapter on a Saturday afternoon, taking a nap, then waking up and continuing the book only to never let go of it and finishing it […]

(This happened twice to me this week. I will be secondary sponsor and maid of honor. I feel so honored!) 3. Taking the perfect picture. 4. […]
Great Expectations

Fitspiration: How Jefrey Lost 15 Kilos
“I’m really excited about this,” my friend Jefrey admitted as he sat across me on his living room couch. “I really wanted to share my story, so it can help other people who are going through the same thing I did.”I felt a surge of pleasure when he said that. I had been the one […]
Apps Worth Downloading
“So what are your favourite apps?” was a question that I got asked in my last first date (sounds like an oxymoron, I know). Welcome to dating in the modern day. Here is my answer to that question – the top 15 apps I love to use. Clicking on the app names leads to the […]
The Pros of a Macbook Pro
I can still remember when I first realised that I wanted to own a Mac. My friend Rey was in Singapore for a layover, so we met up for dinner and somehow ended up walking into an electronics store. I told him I wanted to buy a laptop and was thinking of getting a pink […]
