  • Friends and Lovers

    An old couple visiting Venice My mother once said, “you are the one living with the person you love. So why worry if someone else loves him?”

  • Digging For Diamonds

    Salt rock chandelier at the Wieliczka Salt Mine, my boyfriend sent me this photo many moons ago from his travels Diamonds don’t fall from the sky, my mother used to say. If you want something, you’ve got to get dirty and dig for them.

  • What’s in the Past, Stays in the Past

    It’s a real time machine! If I knew what I know now, would I go back and do things differently? Would the path I’ve taken change or would it be the same path? Would I always end up in a complete circle of my own life?

  • Traveling

    Curiosity seems like a natural thing when you see babies giggling and following mobiles and playing with simple block toys. They crawl to reach for things, for places they don’t know. It seems so natural to want to learn, we want to know and we want to grow. So when I hear that someone dislikes…

  • A Challenge: 30 Before 30

    At 18 years old, staring at the ocean, never imaging I could get this far I’ve been challenged! No, not to a duel. If it were so, then a duel of the mind and the pen. In this case, a keyboard. I’ve been challenged to write one blog post a day leading up to my…

  • 2013 New Year’s Resolution

    It’s that time of the year again where we can say “let’s start a new slate!” Last year, I made a very short list and I made through with a few hiccups. This year, continuing with last year’s resolution (health, money management, vacation), I tack on a few to help move me in my career.

  • Being a Conscientious Fashion Lover

    I adore fashionable items. I love buying clothes, shoes, and accessories. My walk-in closet is overflowing with things that I don’t even remember buying, some still with price tags on them. Why do I buy? Sometimes, out of boredom, sometimes out of need, sometimes, I don’t even remember why except at one point, I really…
