I’m writing this article as I sit in a dilemma about what to do with my nails. They’re unpainted, but well kept and kept as short as possible (I cut them about once a week because I can’t stand them to be any longer). On the flip side though, I sometimes do like getting manicures or having painted nails, but with a busy schedule of kids, work and no time to maintain it, I’m debating about trying gel nails. However, having done some research on-line, I’ve decided, not yet and …

As a mommy and parent, you still need those little pieces of wonder to keep your sanity. Here’s where you’ll find it.
An article about Bianca in The Whig - “Vibrant woman loved to help people”
A very close cousin of mine just passed away a few days ago. It was and still is a shock and tragedy because she was killed in a car accident half way around the world in Australia. The thing is that you normally read about stuff like this in the paper or on the news and it’s with people whom you don’t know, but this is hitting home (minus the close to).
I remember when we will were …
Here’s my interpretation of Chinese New Year’s - it’s probably a skewed version of various truths because honestly, depending on who you ask, some answers vary.
So I’m Canadian, why am I giving red pockets?
I sometimes use the double standard that I’m a Canadian who just happens to look Chinese, but I think it did get to a point where me living in HK and having kids have changed how people view me as a Canadian. Most colleagues are locals and so they don’t really buy that bullshit. Plus, my husband’s …
I’ve been taking some preventation measures since discovering the frequency in which mold grows on EVERYTHING in Hong Kong - (you can read my previous article on “How to remove mold or mildew from HONG KONG walls?”) especially where I live on the island. Just want to share with you so you can take them too and hopefully reduce the growth rate of mold. I recently opened a box of wallets I don’t often used, only to find that 4 out of 5 of our wallets were moldy. Needless to …
Now that I’m working again, my focus in clothes shopping is mainly work clothes and because of my repetitive nature, I tend to buy the basics (in different colours and shapes) - but there’s a general theme to my purchases. REPETITIVE USE. This means, I can re-wear probably the same clothing at least once a week with minimal notice that I’m wearing the same thing! LOL. This is usually achieveable with “black” items and because black is one of the brand colours of my organization, I can sure get away …
I found this incredible comparison of “inputs” of a 221 word passage from theIphoneBlog (another great regular feed of mine). I am an iPhone lover. Ever since giving up my Palm Treo to “try” the iPhone, I have never looked back. Sorry Palm, although I was a loyal and difficult-to-convert user, my husband managed to convince me and I am now a crazy Apple lover.
Back to my original point is how efficient the iPhone can be. It’s not meant to be experimental, merely observational. We all know that keyboard typing is …
