Recently, my friend May shared a reel made by Justine Luzares that made her feel kilig (giddy). Her sharing about feeling kilig made me realize something. When you make new friends as an older person, you don’t really talk about love lives anymore. This isn’t the first time I realized this, actually. I had this […]
Is it Bad That I Look Young?
“My boyfriend can’t believe that you’re over 40,” my friend told me recently. Apparently he could believe it about our other friend, but not me. This isn’t surprising to me. I’ve been getting the exact same reaction from many people who met me for the first time. My reaction was always to be flattered. I […]
Eyebags are Apparently Cool
I unearthed an old picture of me during the time I was sporting a “fob” with bright red ends. That was such a terrible decision that I immediately regretted. I couldn’t stand all the negative attention; I immediately had it dyed black in a few days. 😅 I realized something else, though – oh yeah, […]
The Friends Reunion Trailer Made Me Cry
The Friends Reunion trailer dropped last week and I was surprised at all the feels I got while watching it. Here it is in case you haven’t seen it: https://youtu.be/HRXVQ77ehRQ I think I was emotional because first, they were all so much older compared to the last time I had seen most of them. I […]

People in Relationships Need Friends Too
I was listening to an episode of The Moth podcast called Radio Hour: Brand New YOU and at around the 07:38 mark is an amusing story of a girl named Kristin Lawlor who, when she was 28, discovered to her dismay that she was “the only single girl in New York.” All her friends were […]
Soul {Movie Review}
I’ve read good things about Pixar’s movie Soul, which won an Oscar for best animated feature and is highly rated. I finally got the chance to watch it today, and I loved it, too! The story: a jazz musician, stuck in a mediocre job, finally gets his big break. However, when a wrong step takes […]
When Fear Holds You Back
I was chatting to a friend some months ago, when somehow the topic got to how he had never really taken any major risks in his life. “Well, I can’t say the same about myself,” I said rather proudly. “I took a major risk when I left my hometown to try to look for a […]
What Would You Do For Free?
Over the weekend, my flatmate Dred and I decided to watch some feel good movies on Netflix. The first movie we chose ended up as the opposite of feel good, to be honest. It was Due Date which starred Robert Downey and it pretty much stressed me all throughout. The next movie we picked piqued […]
Be Open-Minded (an Eye-opening Experience)
Today I am very grateful for the internet. During the weekend, I woke up one morning to find that my left eye was red and exquisitely painful and constantly tearing. It teared up so much that I filled up a small trash can with wads of tissues from wiping it. It cried so much that my flatmates jokingly […]
