    It’s been a month, and I’ve been essentially meat- & dairy-free. I still can’t glide across the windows of Tapa King & Dairy Queen without looking wistful, but I’ve generally been a good girl. And you’ve probably heard this a million times, but I do feel great. Even better than I did 10 years ago.…

    Booger the Dog is now officially a resident of Makati City. We got his miniscule yellow dog tag, which is now required to be placed on his collar. It seems like the dog tag’s sole purpose is to prove to the powers that be that your dog is registered. It does not have any identification…

    This lazy susan, also called a turntable, was bought from Ikea Singapore. It makes it easy for me to browse thru all my cleaning solutions with a simple flick of my fingers. Although anything circular is definitely not me (I usually go for the rectangles), I needed its efficiency. Lazy susans are darn useful for…

    In cleaning, the goal is sanitation & appearance. It involves less thinking, as there are usually set standards or ways on doing it. In organizing, the goal is efficiency & productivity. It involves more thinking, as each situation & individual is unique.

    These are the things I’ve learned since I’ve started using ecigs last June 2009. This post doesn’t contain links to wikis, forums, product pages, research studies – all of which you could find thru Google, and all of which I have already laborously read.

    Toodledo has an official iPhone app being sold for $2.99. It was perfectly fine for my basic need of editing tasks offline. Soon, however, I craved for something pretty, and luckily, 2Do was available at the App Store.

    I got to give credit to Nokia for the “ring once” feature on their phones. It is a handy feature which spares me from frantically rummaging thru my bag just to silence an endlessly ringing cellphone. The iPhone, however, does not have such a feature. iPhones loop ringtones endlessly & embarrassingly. The workaround I downloaded…

    Two years ago, I took on a job in advertising … with fear & insecurity. I knew the creative mind that is required. And knowing the ultimate left brain that I am, I doubted until the minute I was signing the contract if they or I were making a terrible mistake. At this point in…
