All That Funk

July 18, 2010 eating out

It’s one of those days. You know, those days in which you just feel…irritated. Your vision is shrouded with negativity, and everything and everyone just seem to exist for the sole purpose of annoying the heck out of you. I’m –what do they call it?—in a funk. The thing about being in a funk is [...]

You Say Dog Food, I Say Woof!

July 16, 2010 eating out

I wish I had a t-shirt that said, “Real Foodies Eat McNuggets (Too)”. Maybe I’m opening a can of worms, and several of you are recoiling in horror, interjecting with protests about the questionable meat in the “chicken” of McNuggets, the hormones in the “chicken”, the weird unreadable chemicals, the malpractice of the company, the [...]

Well-Rounded Confidence

July 14, 2010 dinner event

I’m confident in a lot of things…but beauty is not one of them. Okay, I’m so embarrassed to admit this—but hey, no matter what, I’m still a girl…and I’m vain as a peacock. Like everyone else, I like to look good. I like to get compliments from others. I want girls to look at me [...]

July 12, 2010 My story

This will be my last post on Singapore. Okay, writing that made me pause for a long time. I’ve been staring at that sentence for many minutes, letting it sink in, my heart aching. I’ve only left Singapore about a month ago, but somehow it feels like…years. As if it’s a past distant dream, to [...]

Food Blogger Pride!

July 10, 2010 blog meet-up

I always wonder what people are really thinking when I tell them that I am a food blogger. They all smile when I tell them, but their smiles can mean several different meanings. Sometimes, they smile indulgently, as if I just announced that I like to collect beetles during my spare time. Their smile says [...]

To Be Ambi-Social

July 8, 2010 eating out

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m anti-social. You see, I like solitude. A lot. I probably can go several weeks by myself and not feel the least bit lonely. My favorite time of the day is closing myself up in my own room, enjoying my own private space to do whatever I’m doing. I also intend [...]
