I’ve been sooo lazy these days.  I keep on complaining that I’m gaining weight, but it’s no one else’s fault but mine because I really don’t like going to the gym.

I’ve been trying to develop my web development skills for quite some time now, just trying to learn as much as I can in the company that I’m working for.  This is only my second paid commission work, and I must say that compared to the first website I’ve developed, this one is much much [...]

It’s been a while now, and I still haven’t gotten use dto wearing high heels here in Hong Kong. I know that it’s pretty and that I should make more of an effort to dress up – especially when going out – but all the walking just makes really nice high heels impractical to wear.

After living here in Hong Kong for almost three years, Miguel and I finally visited Disneyland last saturday with some of our friends from Manila. Since a lot of people ask me about the place (just because I’m living here) I figured I might as well blog about it.

I was talking to my intern this afternoon, because do occasionally step back from our work and just chat about things.  Our conversation wandered into the territory of talking about school and university, and we ended up comparing the British education system (what she grew up with) to that of the American Education system (what [...]

Ever had one?
The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

Well, it’s already August, and the thought of taking a vacation this coming December is already making me sleep less because of the excitement.  Miguel and I have decided to just go to the States this Christmas to hopefully attend the wedding of one of my best friends, Mutya Bose soon-to-be Roldan!  Wow, those guys [...]

It’s my grandmother’s birthday tomorrow, and I can’t help but miss her.  I feel a little bad for not calling her as often as I should, but I constantly think about her and really do love her.
There are many things to love about my lola.  One thing, she’s an awesome person to be with – [...]
