  • Lesson 1: Recognizing and Acknowledging Anger

    As part of my new year’s resolution, I had decided to learn to control my anger and in turn, started to look out for ways to approach it: through reading, finding a meditation class, and taking time out from work. I’ve recognized that my anger comes from a direct contact with stupidity, ignorance, laziness, and…

  • What Is A Job But A Game?

    A job is a job is a job. At the end of the day, you know you need it to pay the bills. Growing up, my parents never talked about being happy or fulfilled at their job. They only worked to feed us, to have a roof over our head, to have a car to…

  • Reasons Why I’m a Quiz Addict

    A quiz I helped designed for an old job. That was the fun old times. I love quizzes. I can’t get enough of them. If I could, I would spend all day taking all sorts of quizzes. Once I start, I cannot stop. It’s such an addiction. Worst is when I find a quiz I…

  • Empty Compliments and Empty Pockets

    I always believed that love would be enough to keep a relationship binding. I believed that if I loved him enough, maybe even more a smidgeon more than him, I could keep the relationship together. I would shower him with compliments, praises, and gifts, and all my love. Isn’t that what all the movies have…

  • Turning 30 in less than 24 hours

    Technically, I finished my writing challenge already. However, I haven’t quite hit 30 so this is my last post as a 29 years old!

  • Goals for 30

    My goals for 30 are simple mostly because I want to enjoy life spontaneously and not constantly with a planned out list. If you don’t know me by now, I love lists. I love making them, checking them off, re-reading them. When I feel lost or bored with life, I go back to my lists…

  • Have Happiness, Will Travel

    My goal in life has never been to have a family or get married. And it’s still pretty true. I want a child, I want love, but if I don’t have any of them, my life doesn’t end there. It goes on.

  • If I were…

    As I am nearing the end of my writing challenge, I find myself blocked. It’s one of those insanely awful road block for the creative mind. And worse, work has completely fried my brain for the week. So to keep up with some creativity, I always do some writing practicing, using metaphors to create a…

  • How I Met Mr. Darcy

    I love listening to couples recount their first meeting, especially those with mileage. More often than naught, the stories are retold with an element of comedy. One man said he would never marry an Italian woman but his wife of 40+ years is this soft spoken, gentle Italian woman, one-of-a-kind! How romantic that their first…
