Some people do things for recognition. Some do it for personal fulfilment. Some do it for money. Some do it to pursue passions. Some do it for all of the above. Whatever you do it for, do it well and whole-heartedly. Understand that sometimes the recognition you are looking for will not come from someone…
READY, STEADY, GO
As much as I am tempted to complain about how I haven’t been getting “proper rest” for the past month and a half, I know better. All those choices, I’ve made on my own accord and had I known then how tired my body will be, I’m pretty sure I’d still be making the same…
THE MONDENIAL THAT WAS
After how many days of rest and spending time with family and friends, I was in Mondenial aka: in denial of the first Monday of the year. I started training (more of observing) for my new role in our Manila office yesterday, and as excited as I am for the challenges ahead, I wasn’t really so…
LOOKING BACK ON 2015
First off, major EEP! It’s the last day of 2015! The year went by so fast! Sure there were days that were painfully slo-o-o-ow, but damn, I need to get used to time going so quickly. Looking back, 2015 was the year I chased my passions. It was when I actively chose to “live the…
2015 MOMENTS: ARTICHOKE X COCOTTE COLLAB BRUNCH
I love to eat. I think that’s the main reason why I’ve gained so much weight here in Singapore. But before you all give me a collective “DUH!!!“, let me elaborate a bit. Living on your own means you’re in charge of taking care of your own meals. As much as I love the place…
HELLO FROM LONDON
I can’t believe we’re already on the latter end our London trip!! For some reason, now more than any other holiday, I am having major vacation withdrawal days before even stepping on the airport. Can I stay longer, please??? 🙁 The weather is cold, but not too cold – or maybe I came better prepared…
TAKE IT LIKE THE WIND
I’ve been pretty bummed about what I feel was uncalled for nitpicking when someone I looked up to advised me to shrug it off and just take it like the wind. I got so used to being told that “if you have nothing good to say, or nothing productive to add, keep your mouth shut” and I…
COMING UP ROSES
I think it’s time I try to stop defining what category my blog falls under and just continue filling it with things I like. Sometimes it’s food, sometimes it’s clothes, sometimes it’s travel, sometimes it’s books.. different aspects of me but all me nonetheless. I mean, you do love me as “me”, right? Not just…
SATURDAY CHECK-IN
Hi, guys! Just a quick update before I nap then prepare for Halloween! I had a good 10 hours of sleep and was in bed til around 10am this morning. It felt soooo good coz not only did I not have any alarm going off, I only had 2.5 hrs of sleep the day before.…
COOL BLUES
Sometimes I feel that I should’ve been born somewhere with a cooler climate. I love dressing for the cold – coats, jackets, scarves, boots, tights, the works! Freezing my butt off would be another story, but hey, I guess if I were born there, I’d be somewhat assimilated to the cold.. or not? Friends in…
HEY, BUDDY!
I am far from having everything figured out. But if there’s one thing my twenty-six years of existence has taught me, it’s to listen to my body. Four years ago, I would’ve pushed myself to my breaking point before slowing down. I know better now. Take that, germs! I lost one day but at least…
