Three days ago, when I went down to my apartment building’s lobby to pick up food delivery (our building has not allowed any delivery people to go up the lifts since 2020), the guard handed me this package which the HK government had sent to everyone. Inside the package are some Chinese medicines for Covid […]
Why It’s So Hard to Read Books Now
Last week, we had an episode on Banana Q: a Filipino-flavored podcast where I interviewed Eliza Victoria about what it’s like to be a Filipino author. Aside from talking about her writing process for Wounded Little Gods and After Lambana, she was also very honest about how she doesn’t really earn that much from her […]
Burga’s April Fools Prank
It’s April Fool’s Day today, so be extra cautious about taking everything you read/hear today at face value. For example, Burga just sent me an email with the subject “95% OFF everything?” but when you open it, the message says: First of all, I couldn’t possibly stock up on 10 years worth of phone cases […]
Bin and Jin are Married!
My ship sailed today. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin – stars of Crash Landing On You who had mad chemistry and fell in love in real life – tied the knot today. Soompi and a bunch of Instagram accounts posted the pictures below and I’d also like it here because few people make me […]
Bucket List 2.0
A couple of weeks ago, we released a podcast episode about bucket lists. You can listen to it below or look for episode 80 of Banana Q: a Filipino flavored podcast on Spotity, Apple, or wherever you listen to podcasts. In the episode, we discussed the origins of the bucket list (it was a term […]
Back to that First Blog Post
It just suddenly occurred to me that today is the 17th anniversary of this blog. So I made a note to blog today because of course I have to. Sure, 17 is not really a nice round number to celebrate unlike 10 – when I made that whole post and even bought balloons and a […]
Lucca Vudor Comfort Shoes Review
When you reach a certain age, you simply can no longer bear to go with the “vanity over comfort” principle when it comes to footwear. But what if it’s possible to have both on equal footing? This is where Lucca Vudor shoes come into the picture. Lucca Vudor brags that they have the the world’s […]
Unico Gato
“Can you imagine life without our pets?” My friend Chi asked in our WhatsApp group chat a few days ago. This was after we had spent a lot of time gushing and giggling over videos of our pets – each other’s “godpets.” I read somewhere that Millennials treat their pets as their firstborn child, and […]
2020 Too
Earlier this year, when news about Omicron came along, a friend joked that 2022 was looking like 2020 too. Wow, she is so right. Especially for Hong Kong. Since 2020, Hong Kong has been holding on to a dynamic zero infection strategy, which means they imposed the longest quarantine in the world (21 days) and […]
Hong Kong’s Cold Snap
Today’s date is a palindrome – 22022022. How cool! But I’m not here to just talk about that, but the cold. Unlike Elsa, the cold does bother me. I just found out from Twitter that we have now is called the cold snap. Yesterday it was 7 degrees but felt like 1 degree – according […]
