Are you reading too much into things? Reading too much into things & reading between the lines are two different things and are often interchanged. It’s just funny that when certain phrases are thrown at us, we sometimes react very quickly (or not so pleasantly) depending on the issues we may have 😉 Do you […]
Everytime I See You Everytime I see you, I age & my wrinkles get more defined. I’ve had a very stressful week at work this week having to deal with twisted truths and some dirty corporate politics. Everytime I had to work on two particular projects, my heart beats fast, my vision narrows, I find
Get organized! Well, the first step in organizing your life is organizing your stuff. Hehe. Just imagine the amount of time you’ll save not having to look for things when you need them the most! The new school year is just around the corner (at least in this side of the world) and aside from
Have you ever been showered with compliments to the point that you didn’t know how to feel because as the conversation progressed, the more and more it became awkward? Orrr, did you ever find yourself giving compliments not even realizing how tactless, politically incorrect or inconsiderate you were? With the digital age, it’s so easy
As requested, here’s the illustrated version of the How Will I Know Lyrics :)) I was supposed to illustrate a couple more songs but let’s see what I can do. When the time permits & the mood arrived, I’ll do more of these. I first heard How Will I Know while I was driving. I
“They don’t like me.” It’s easy to know how a person sees him/herself based on his/her explanation to that statement. Others will wallow in sorrow and go for, “Why don’t people like me?” Some people will even go further by asking, “What is it that I have to change so that they’ll like me?”. Someone
The value of honesty in a relationship has been stressed so many times by older people and a number of magazine articles and talk shows. Then again, there’s a very fine line between being honest and being brutally frank. The other night, I told him that he was
You may or may not have probably noticed that a recent post was about counting calories. My friends and I each have created an account on My Fitness Pal. The thing is, we’re always together on food trips: from pizza nights, Japanes food, Chinese food, street food, or just plain ol’ fast food happiness, we’re
I’ve always been so clueless about beauty products. Yes, Tipsy the pink goo may be wearing mascara and and cheek tint all the time but the truth is, she wears more makeup than me. Hehe. I would always come across makeup on magazines but I just usually get distracted with the pretty packaging or lay-out, simply
Optimist versus Pessimist: This is one of the usual conversations that Ponggo & I have. I accuse him of being negative and he accuses me of being too happy sappy. He claims he’s a realist while in my defense, I tell him that I just want to see the best side of all things. It’s
My tummy’s sensitive to coffee and I find blended drinks too cold so I always end up ordering a cup of iced chocolate. For some reason, I never really thought of opting for non-fat milk until the barista offered it. I gladly said yes but I always can’t seem to let go of the whipped
You Just Did: Isn’t it amazing how people say that they’re not going to tell you anything when by doing so, they just did? People also ask permission to ask a question when in the process of doing so, they just asked a question. It’s like asking people to respond to your question “Are you
Lessons Learned: (This post is dedicated to our good friend Aina Banana who gives the best advice ever! Low fat milk for the win!) If you’ve been following our blog, you will see that as a couple, we have our great and not so great days. Usually, we argue but now we just keep quiet
Big Gestures: Well, there are different types of gestures: kind gestures, romantic gestures, iconic gestures then there are the big gestures that I make–the awkward kind. I end up hitting the people behind me or beside me. I usually end up accidentally swatting a stranger while walking backwards and talking to someone in a crowded
I used to say “Awww…That’s so sad” all the time Ponggo asked me to change my expression since, according to him, it sounds annoying and a bit indifferent and shallow. I changed it to “Oh wow” and after saying it so many times, he said I sounded as if I’m not really amazed and that
He Says She Says Our house is such a mess right now. He just love love loves leaving his stuff around the house. If he chooses to remove his shoes in one corner, then you’ll find it there for days. Then if he removes his socks near the bathroom, it will be there for days.
I don’t know how many times I’ve been through this cycle: 1) I find myself saying yes to a friend’s / ex-officemates’ request 2) I feel happy I’m helping them & that it’s another opportunity for me to learn new things & experiment with arts, props, pictures and colorful things I love. 3)
Predictably Unpredictable: People tend to expect consistency but you also have to have a good amount of predictable unpredictability.

A Gazillion Times First of all, my source of happiness today is the fact that I’m finally able to include those colorful washi tapes as (part of my useless) props behind Tipsy! I don’t know what is it with washi tapes. Staring at them makes me happy. (Me & my color fixations…) I think I
