I've been asked a couple of times why do I even pay money to run on the road. Well, since lots of people are doing it so perhaps there's something different about it. Hence, I won't reject the idea until I've experienced it for myself. The adidas Sundown is the first run event I've participated. Despite the boo-hoos of the 2-hours wait for the shuttle bus, the intrinsic …
1.) Having your own business is much more work than having a job. You're everything rolled into one. 2.) As an executive role, you're a part of a company. Essentially, you're big and spoilt. Your own business is tiny and nobody cares. There's a lot of pride to swallow. How do you make people care? 3.) Having flexible time is only sweet when there's income rolling in. 4.) …
I'll like to keep this space nice, clean and unpolluted. So I'll unleash my angst (cum pet peeve) of unprofessionalism here. The choice of vocabulary is also more unfiltered. On a side note, it's funny how we create alter egos for blogs these days too. Owning different blogs represent different facets of our personalities, taste and preferences.
I was watching Ruby on Style Network, a reality TV show about a severely obese adult who strives to live life to the fullest and make attempts in weight-loss. I must say I am hooked because Ruby's life is so full of sunshine and fun. Although she's fat and has lots of trouble climbing up the stairs, she tries her best and takes control of her life. I really like that because …
Besides being firm on myself to keep time (I even track the number of times I've been punctual or late this month, and I'm proud to say I'm sharp on the dot 4 out of 5 times), I'm building the habit to keep learning. Every night, I learn Spanish through books and audio tapes. I'm not eager to pass any language tests, I just want to speak Spanish. Why Spanish? I don't know. …
Fridays are the kind of days I take it slow, because I work on Saturdays. I spent the morning developing products (not very happy with them, but i'll improve on it tonight), had a quick lunch and now my job of the day is to plan a one-week vacation for July. I feel the need to get away and chill...and my last holiday was in April. What's your weekend plans?
Had a pseudo wine-buffet on Friday night and I drank till I almost threw up. They were gorgeous wines, I tell you. Greek wine, Spanish wine, French wine...not that I am able to tell the difference at some tipsy point in time. Hell, not that I am able to tell when I am sober anyway. But the night was fabulous. I just wish more friends were with us so we can do stupid stuff …
I've browsing channels and found The Apprentice (UK) on BBC Knowledge. I thought it was another time wasting effort of entertainment but I gave it a try. Not bad really. I must say I took something away from one hour's worth of time. Lesson #1: Check your pricing. It was a girls versus boys challenge to bid for a laundry job at a hotel. The girls priced each item (think …
Few days ago, Bryan came to my place and sat at my study table. He took a book from my table, then sat at a corner to read. I was at the living room, and I took a book from the sofa to join him. I opened the book, but the page that was folded was not where I stopped. Creepy fact was...we were reading the exact same novel, but taking each other's book thinking it was ours. …
Let's sum it up. Here are some inputs from friends when I asked what I can do for my life: Being a DJ, an events organizer, being on TV show, a fashion mogul, a full-time blogger, a martial art expert and "go and get a bloody job" (my favourite one). I know I am supposed to know what I want to do. I thought I did. But what I really want is to wake up each day, jump out of bed …
I've a good-for-nothing left knee, ever since I've mildly tore my ligaments twice when I was training competitive ultimate frisbee. At times when I run, the pain is unspeakable of. First it feels a bit wobbly, then it feels slightly out of place and that's when I get the sharp jab of pain. Then I'd stand to let the knee rest before I continue. I noticed that the frequency of …
I would say, 2010 is the year of fresh perspective for me. Some highlights include 1. Building an apparel & printing business into a somewhat successful business, considering it's only 12 months worth of work. 2. Having a professional relationship with Bryan, my boyfriend of 2.5 years, that gives me the opportunity to know more about him and communicating with him in a …
Yesterday at the Borders Clearance Sale, I ran around the hall like a superhero on mission. So many books, so much ideas packed into one convention hall, such a wealth of knowledge. I splurged close to a hundred. Here's some of my lootsLearn Spanish CD + Book pack Learn Spanish Phrasebook How Starbucks Saved My Life Marketing Calculator : Measuring and Managing Return On …
I've always wanted a tattoo. I don't know why. I've talked about it since I was in secondary school. It's something I never really stopped talking about. My mom has this rule that as long as I am living under her roof, I am not allowed to have any thing permanent on my body. She went ballistic for an entire month when I got my navel pierced. I respect her rules so I never …
It's 4:38am and it's a long, sleepless night. I'm not sure why though. Perhaps I drank a cup of milk tea too late into the night. Or perhaps I've had such a long day that I'm too tired to snooze. So I tweaked and edited our website. Must say, I'm proud of how it looks. I've a really good announcement to make. We are carrying the American Hanes line of t-shirts. This is an …
