  • Dinner is Important to a Relationship

    For a normal 9-5 person, most of us spend 1-2 hours of daily commute. We race out the door in the morning to get to work on time. We race out of the office to get home to spend as much time as possible with our loved ones. But it never feels like enough time…

  • Packing in Two Hour

    I have a dog that at the sight of a suitcase, he will have the worst explosion, of the stinky sort. He is absolutely notorious for getting sick, getting anxious, and sad and depressed, wallowing in the closet somewhere when he gets the slightest sense that I’m packing up to go somewhere. So I had…

  • Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

    One of the things I love most about my boyfriend is that he’s well traveled. I’m a traveler at heart, a dreamer by day, and a writer at night so I always knew the person I would end up with would enjoy traveling as much as I would. Traveling is not just about hopping on…

  • Are You Ever Ready?

    It seems apropos that I read an article by Sasha Sagan on her father, Carl Sagan, the day before learning of the death of someone close to me and my boyfriend. I think, in part, we knew that her time was coming to an end. We both know time is not a fixed object, aging…

  • 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…

  • Busy is a Decision

    Debbie Millman: 10 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner Rather Than Later Recently, I went to a talk about rejection—in particular, how rejection can shape your life, hosted by Designers + Geeks. The speaker was Debbie Millman, the president of AIGA. She spoke candidly about her experiences that led up to her role, with lots…

  • “Ring”-ing the New Year

    I had never doubted my feelings for him nor his towards me. But I would not go so far as to say our relationship is a dream with roses and happiness all the time. After all, a relationship is about growing and changing with someone and like many changes, it’s hard and often scary. But…

  • 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…
