Almost every day I find myself browsing my Instagram feed. Â Aside from designers, I also try to follow food bloggers like @ladyironchef & @talesfromthetummy. Â Since they post lots of food porn, I no longer know if I’m really legitimately hungry–not that I’d be breaking any laws according to the constitution. Â I wish that my type […]
Hello, hello! Â We’re back once again! Â Ponggo & I had a tough but very productive and fulfilling working weekend. Â We ended it nicely with a filling dinner and a quick skate at the rink. Â Since were were sleep-deprived and tired by Sunday night, we were didn’t necessarily in the cheeriest of dispositions. Â [May I also
Happy 4th Birthday to the Googly Gooeys! Four years ago today, (and I totally sound like a historian slash grandparent,)  I was having such a bad afternoon.  I sat down and tinkered with my laptop and played around with this circle and started pushing it in random directions. It looked like a blob of goo
The other night, Ponggo & I were working on a project. Â I was telling him to use another software but he won’t budge. Â Then, he was asking me for instructions from time to time. Â Years ago, one of my bosses told me that the best way to teach someone is by helping them discover stuff
Did this ever happen to you? Â This is how I lost my piece of heirloom. Â X years ago, I placed the a ring inside a tissue inside my bag so that it would look inconspicuous. Â It looked just like some normal used tissue paper…so normal I threw it away. Â *Yikes!* Â These days, I try to
There was a time when we were preparing for a wedding and I kept on suggesting Chartreuse and Fuchsia as the colors of our motif and Ponggo said, “Char-char-char-what? Can’t you just say yellow green? And that other color’s a bit hard to spell too!” Â I really really love colors (..and I’m really really
For this post, we collaborated with Richard Co of Tales from the Tummy, a must-read food blog especially if you’re the type who loves to explore places to eat! 🙂  From the first crack at the newest resto’s to travel adventures and out-of-the-country foodtrips, you’ll find it in his oozing with food porn website 😉
It’s the love month so please allow us to abuse the topic of L-O-V-E. Here are some pre-relationship woes. While it’s fun to look back at them, these things can be a pain in the head (and heart!) while these were happening (enter dramatic music): When Someone’s Too Dense – While others can be
It’s Valentine’s day! Well, at least in this side of the world 🙂 As much as 1/2 of me (or more accurately, 48.3452%) would like to make your eyes bleed red, pink & hearts, hearts, hearts today, we interviewed some our homies from the blog-o-sphere (Forgive me.  I just really wanted to use the word
Most of the time I have to check something on Facebook: details of a trip, a friend’s address, what time my friends & I are supposed to meet…et cetera. Â However, I’ve never been successful in doing nothing else but that. Â Before I get to what I’m supposed to do, I always end up taking a
I’m not so great with titles, huh? Well, I just realized that the original text for the blog giveaway was supposed to be a big thank you to all our readers but I got so caught up living in my own happylandia styling and taking pictures of all the prizes instead.  *doingk* Why isn’t the post
Try reading the title again when you’re done reading the comics! 🙂 This is how I am each time I’m talking to someone on the phone & (a) I’m at a dead spot or (b) when the lovely lovely (*sarcastic*) cellphone network is acting up.  I would start the conversation with a good mood then
If there’s ever anything constant on Facebook, it’s change! Â Recently, it just rolled out its new format and now, the status bar attempts to coax our lazy fingers into flooding our friends with itsy bitsy details of our lives. Â There’s a study somewhere (how credible!) that if you ask questions online, people will tend to
Gift-giving is probably not the most exciting part of our relationship.  After so many years of trying, Ponggo has finally given up on me.  I have way too many comments about all the presents he has given me.  One year, he tries to guess the clothes I might like.  Last Christmas, he bought me stuff that
I don’t know what is it with me these days but all I can think about when I’m not designing is f-o-o-d :O Muffins are not really my top of mind / go-to food but last week, someone bought a box of 4 and placed it inside the fridge. Â I really had no plans of
As the song goes, ♩♪♫♬ Oh the truth hurts! The lies worse! ♩♪♫♬  Well, that has been my theme song lately.  Nope, not for my married life but for my relationship with the weighing scale.  Ever since I injured my knees, I’ve been in a losing battle to keep that number from going up.  I’m so tired
Ever shopped for Christmas stuff with a back-up plan? Â Did you ever go, “Hmm…I’ll buy this notebook for my sister but if she doesn’t like it, I’ll have it! It must not go to waste”. Â Ponggo always sneakily buys stuff for his dad hoping that (a) they can share it or (b) if he doesn’t
My best friend (who lives on the other side of this world) & I were just chatting and this topic came up thus the workaholic cartoon: I think I’ve already written here a lot of times that I cannot not work. Â Even when I’m supposedly “resting”, I have to be busy in some sort of
If you’re aspiring to replace Rubeus Hagrid as a gamekeeper at Hogwarts then follow these steps for effortlessly tangled, frizzy, unruly hair! Â Then again, come to think of it, in this day & age whene our hair’s constantly exposed to pollution, our love for a quick lifestyle where we can’t even wait for our hair
This post is dedicated to @_PurpleRose_ on Twitter–a fellow Rusher & Netizen 😉 I promised her months ago that if I ever come up with an elevator post, I’d dedicate it to her 🙂 Elevators have now become an integral part of my life. *How dramatic and formal!*  Through the years I’ve had (more than)
