“Be Afraid… Be Very Afraid.”

I love, LOVE scary movies. Even the cheesy, stereotypical fares dripping in red corn syrup. So when I finally got my hands on 2009’s phenom Paranormal Activity, I immediately curled up on the couch with a bag of microwave popcorn and pressed “play” in anticipation of high horror. My verdict: ‘Eh.’ There were some scary […]

Motorola Droid Review

J isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: […]

The Not-So Lovely Bones

The highly-anticipated Peter Jackson flim The Lovely Bones hits theaters today. I read the book when it first gained popularity in 2002. I did not like it. I thought it was boring and bland. I couldn’t understand what the big fuss was all about. Now, I can’t even recall how the book ends. Did you […]

Yu-Be Mine

Last month the skin on my face became extra dry and flaky. I immediately panicked, because this has never happened to me before. Call it aging. Blame it on the harsh weather. Whatever the reason, I knew that my regular moisturizer just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I dove into my bag of samples and found […]

I’m Not a Fertility Fiend

Following yesterday’s post, I received several comments and emails telling me that I need to chill out. All of them came from well-meaning people who are concerned on my behalf, so I did not take offense to them. However, I felt that I needed to write this post to clarify my position on the subject. […]

Putting Things in Perspective

I must really live in a bubble, because I only just found out about the Haiti earthquake. More than 100,000 died in yesterday’s 7.0 quake 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince. The powerful earthquake flattened the president’s palace and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of homes. Thousands are still trapped. […]

Traitor!

My sister came to visit today, and Comang has not left her side. He’s been ignoring me for the new two-legger the entire day…they’re taking a nap together on the couch as I type this! (I’ve blocked out my sister’s face because she values her privacy a lot more than I do. Plus, I’m quite […]

I Was a Cookie-Cutter Bride

Recently I have even been called out (in the wedding blog world) for advocating creativity and individuality when my own wedding was so “cookie-cutter.” I know that making your wedding one-of-a-kind and unique is the trendy thing to do these days. However, J and my wedding was fairly traditional and conservative.  Thinking back to our […]
