The 1000 Most Popular Sites in the World

Today, Google released a list of the 1000 most popular sites in the world. The list isn’t entirely accurate, as they left themselves off the list (they would’ve been #1). However, it comes to no surprise that Facebook and Yahoo easily take the top two spots by a large margin. Browsing through the list, I […]

Teabag Coasters

Being Chinese, J and his family are the ultimate tea snobs. My in-laws bring with them fancy, expensive tea whenever they come to visit and rarely does a day go by without their drinking at least a few glasses of an infusion. They even specify which types of tea to drink with different dishes, and […]

One less thing to plan, one less vendor to deal with, and one less thing to worry about. We chose our cake from an album of “typical” wedding cakes, […]

Makeup Magic

A guy friend once told me that he would never date a girl until he has seen her sans makeup first. “You never know what you’ll wake up next to in the morning,” he said. “And trust me — club, bar, and lounge lighting is cunningly deceptive!” I personally don’t think my girlfriends and I look […]

19, 20, and 21 Weeks

I’ve been majorly slacking on my weekly pregnancy updates. I have no excuse other than the fact that I got lazy. Sorry! Remember that nasty case of round ligament pains? Well, they certainly contributed to a major belly growth spurt — just look at the difference between weeks 18 and 19! …but then again, my […]
