I met Allan Houston last night! In case you don’t know, Allan Houston is one of my biggest celeb crushes. I was crestfallen when he retired, but was always ecstatic to see him do correspondence work on ESPN. I always told people that I’m convinced if he ever met me in person, he’d leave his wife and marry […]
The Worst Break-Up
I was reading an article about how break-ups via emails, IM’s, and text messages are on the rise. This made me think back to my worst break-up… The year was 2001. I had just decided to take some time off from school. I had just gotten out of a draining relationship with my first boyfriend (and first love). There […]
The Anatomy of a Photogenic Face
I admit that I’m very un-photogenic. Even my own mother tells me so. “Why do you look so bad in pictures? Practice how to pose in front of the mirror!” Perhaps it’s my natural awkwardness and/or low self-esteem manifesting itself on film. Or maybe I just don’t have the face for it. Being an artiste, […]
Pho32 & Shabu
Last Friday a friend and I had planned to have lunch at BonChon Chicken. However, upon arrival, we were disappointed to see that they weren’t yet open for the day. Walking around K-Town for an alternate restaurant, I noticed Pho32 & Shabu: It’s a tiny place on 32nd St, and we wondered why we hadn’t noticed it before (did […]
Kept Women
This month’s Elle magazine has an interesting article titled “The Smart Girl’s Taboo: Wanting to be a Kept Woman.” In it, the writer contemplates the success of the E! television show The Girls Next Door and even spends some time with Hef’s three main ladies. She then asks why so many women are attracted to the show – can […]
Chicken Scratch
This is yet another incident that can only happen to Jenny. “Doctors’ sloppy handwriting kills more than 7,000 people annually,” according to an article from Time magazine earlier this year. And who knew I would be a victim of poor handwriting as well? (Before I continue, no, I am not dead, as I am — […]
Nip Tuck
Lately, I’ve been having more and more conversations regarding cosmetic surgery. With the rising number of people electing to go under the knife and the increased social acceptance of plastic surgery, I guess it’s only natural that we start to wonder how a certain tweaks here and there could improve our appearance. Would you ever have cosmetic surgery? If […]
SK-II Air Touch Foundation
I had read in last year’s August issue of InStyle and the September issue of Vogue about a new foundation that SK-II was releasing: the Air Touch Foundation. A description of the product from the SK-II US website: At a touch of a button, the amazing ionisation technology delivers foundation one particle at a time for […]
Don to Earth
One of the many blogs I subscribe to is Get Rich Slowly, a personal finance site written by a man who was successfully able to dig himself out of major debt and want to help others do the same. Today, he posted a link to Don To Earth, a “blog written by a 93-year-old-man. There’s […]
Sony Ericsson M600i Review
When I first watched Casino Royale, I instantly became transfixed by the smartphone used by Vesper Lynd in the movie. Since I had been in the market for a new phone, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase an unlocked version from eBay. Being a gadget/techie geek, I had done some pretty extensive research before making the decision […]
