Halloween’s been long over and I know this post is weeks past its season, but I thought why not. This could be a reference-for-the-future kind of thing. I know I procrastinated too much about this and I apologize. In my last blog post, I talked about posting some graduation stuff in my “next” blog post – mostly about that dress I almost sold...
Here’s something I get to say for the last time after 4 years: Graduations coming up in a month. Finally, all the years of enduring boring classes, months of studying for exams, and days of merely getting by my classes will finally pay off – in one sense or another. As “D-day” approaches, there is but one final exam that awaits us all:...
I'm back! Fair warning: This would be a relatively long text post, so best get your reading glasses on. It’s been a little around 2 months since my last blog post. I’m sorry about that. It's not that I’ve given up blogging. When I made this blog, I made a small pact with myself to always post something at least every other week...
We were roaming around the ArtScience Museum for a good 3 to 4 hours, by the time we finished, we just weren’t as tired yet. The sun was still high up and we didn't want to waste our vacation lazing around the hotel the rest of the day, so we decided to head towards the nearest tourist spot in sight: Gardens by the...
A diamond is a girl’s best friend. Am I right, girls? But at a glance, who can honestly say that they can separate a diamond from a well-polished cut glass? The truth is, in itself, diamonds are nothing extraordinary. It’s a rock, the toughest mineral on Earth even. If you don’t polish it, cut it the right way, follow the other 3 C's...
After taking a [sort-of] dive into the ocean, why not [sort-of] dive into the skies? Though S.E.A. World and iFly are located at different stations, they are both in Sentosa and are roughly 7 minutes apart by tram. iFly requires flyers to take a short class before actually stepping inside a tunnel that simulates free-fall diving, but anything other than that, all you...
Excerpt from the "Open Day Book" (Edited by David Earl) Found this gem while I was going through a second hand book store in Manila. I can't help but fall in love with it's philosophy of "Time"; a human construct and illusion, [it] does not exist. How can we lose time, when time itself does not exist? ...
You’ll notice a lot of ice cream stalls roaming around mall centers in Singapore. One, among many of their flavors, is Durian. I haven’t personally eaten a Durian fruit before, but I have heard rumors (something along the lines of: smells bad–dead cat–never again). I have tried Durian chips before, and I loved those. So I thought: Why not? It can’t be that...
There has always been something serene and innocent about the ocean. Its mysteries and secrets buried in folds of water, pushing us to go deeper. Deep inside, I’m one of those people who actually think “the ocean scares me”. The idea that there are still millions of many different things we don’t know about; things that lie beneath the façade of an innocent...
I was in Singapore a couple of days back and OF COURSE visiting the Universal Studios theme park at Sentosa is at the top of my to-do list. The park opens at 10 am and since I have all this tourist-adrenaline pumping in my body, I was there at around 9:00. My family was there with me as we simultaneously get our Universal-Studios-cherries...
