I love, LOVE scary movies. Even the cheesy, stereotypical fares dripping in red corn syrup. So when I finally got my hands on 2009’s phenom Paranormal Activity, I immediately curled up on the couch with a bag of microwave popcorn and pressed “play” in anticipation of high horror. My verdict: ‘Eh.’ There were some scary […]

Motorola Droid Review
J isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: […]
The Not-So Lovely Bones
The highly-anticipated Peter Jackson flim The Lovely Bones hits theaters today. I read the book when it first gained popularity in 2002. I did not like it. I thought it was boring and bland. I couldn’t understand what the big fuss was all about. Now, I can’t even recall how the book ends. Did you […]
Yu-Be Mine
Last month the skin on my face became extra dry and flaky. I immediately panicked, because this has never happened to me before. Call it aging. Blame it on the harsh weather. Whatever the reason, I knew that my regular moisturizer just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I dove into my bag of samples and found […]
I’m Not a Fertility Fiend
Following yesterday’s post, I received several comments and emails telling me that I need to chill out. All of them came from well-meaning people who are concerned on my behalf, so I did not take offense to them. However, I felt that I needed to write this post to clarify my position on the subject. […]
Putting Things in Perspective
I must really live in a bubble, because I only just found out about the Haiti earthquake. More than 100,000 died in yesterday’s 7.0 quake 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince. The powerful earthquake flattened the president’s palace and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of homes. Thousands are still trapped. […]
Things I Have Learned While Trying to Get Pregnant (Warning: Entire Post is TMI)
I have been poring over pregnancy, miscarriage, fertility, and TTC (trying to conceive) boards for the past few months. Here are a few things that made me go “huh” while clucking my tongue in (disgusted) surprise: 1. The woman’s body is (usually) a toxic environment for sperm. The vaginal vault has a very low pH […]
Traitor!
My sister came to visit today, and Comang has not left her side. He’s been ignoring me for the new two-legger the entire day…they’re taking a nap together on the couch as I type this! (I’ve blocked out my sister’s face because she values her privacy a lot more than I do. Plus, I’m quite […]
I Was a Cookie-Cutter Bride
Recently I have even been called out (in the wedding blog world) for advocating creativity and individuality when my own wedding was so “cookie-cutter.” I know that making your wedding one-of-a-kind and unique is the trendy thing to do these days. However, J and my wedding was fairly traditional and conservative. Thinking back to our […]
