I Have Been Scammed

For the first time in my entire life, I got scammed. I thought I was smart enough not to be fooled, but here I am. I was on Facebook, mindlessly viewing how my friends spent the last 24 hours. And in the middle of these stories, I came across a video ad. I didn't even bother to watch …

Happy Feet

I have always talked about my shoes. Thought maybe I'd also talk about my feet. Haha.  Ugh. πŸ™„  And here's the thing: I don't like my feet because they're ugly.  You could say they're a whole new level of hideous. Dry, cracked, calloused, wrinkly, and veiny.  (Which do…

So I Bit the Forbidden Fruit

But unlike Eve, the devil had nothing to do with it.

Never Again? (Not a Political Post)

I remember reading a friend's post on Facebook that said he will never ride the jeepney ever again. Another also shared about his first jeepney ride after so many years like it's a lifetime achievement or something. Knowing that they're not even someone you can consider rich ,…

Our Trying to Conceive Journey (Warning: TMI)

Warning: Too much information. Skip if you're easily offended or grossed out.

I Will Make an Awful Housewife (Kwentong Adobo, atbp)

"Have you had your dinner already?" Mama asked. "Yes," Red replied. "Was it delicious?" "Yes! Where did you buy it?" That would have been an insult. It certainly is my son's indirect way of saying that I cannot make something appetiz…

Confessions of a Newly Married Woman

"How does it feel like?" "Nothing has really changed," I said flatly. "Wait until the honeymoon phase is over." I have been asked this question over and over again for weeks now and I have been repeating my answer with the same flat face. And it is not …

Man, I've Got Ugly Man Hands

One of the reasons why I never wore a ring or a nail polish is because I do not want to draw attention to my ugly man hands. I never really liked my hands. I've got big knuckles, probably from the knuckle-popping which I am so fond of since fourth grade. I've got big veins that …

Confessions Vol. 12: My First Starbucks Experience

It's 2017. Remember when I said I've never had any Starbucks before ? Well, just recently, I've had one when Renz and I decided to do our planning at Starbucks for our second public speaking stint . That was my first time to hang out at Starbucks. Ever.

Confessions Vol. 11: I'm an Easy Girl

I've had three boyfriends in my life and not one of them has ever courted me. I don't play hard to get. If I like I guy who likes me too, it wouldn't take long before I commit. I was 14 when I had my first boyfriend. He was my close friend and our relationship was born out…

Confessions Vol. 10: A Guilty Pleasure

I don't remember the last time I binge-watched over a tv series because I have never really watched anything since Burn Notice ended. Call me a loser. I've never seen The Walking Dead, I couldn't even get past episode 1 of the Game of Thrones, I don't know what's str…

Confessions Vol. 9: I Want Something Different and Permanent

I want to get inked. I have always wanted one ever since I was in college. But I had to wait. I had to make sure it wasn't just a teenager's act of rebellion against the parents, the self, or the world. Then I had to wait more to make sure that I am not running right into a tatt…

Confessions Vol. 8: What I Was Like 10-15 Years Ago

If it wasn't for the review I made, I would not have blogged anything for almost two weeks. And so I start to think, in the name off all that is holy, haven't you done anything that is interesting, Sarah? Actually, a lot happened. But I can only think of it as something worth s…

Confessions Vol. 7: Stationery Addiction

Look what came into the mail today! Meet my new slaves of creative expression. After hoarding almost all ball point sizes of Uni Pin pigment ink pens, and now this, I don't want to think things are just starting to get out of hand. Who can resist them, Sharpies? I am addicted. B…

Confessions Vol. 6: I'm Not a Movie Buff

Jan came over yesterday because it's my nephew's first birthday. We decided to watch a movie after stuffing our tummies with the yummies. I wanted to watch something light, so he recommended Easy A . I thought it was just another sloppy teen comedy but the nonstop wisecracks kept …

Confessions Vol. 5: I am fascinated with the Nazis and the Holocaust

Yesterday, Jan and I watched Schindler's List. It reminded me of my obsession with the Nazis which started back when I saw one of my classmates in Fifth grade drew a swastika symbol (actually it was doodled all over his notebook). I asked him what it was and he started telling me with…

Confessions Vol. 4: I Am a Big Backstreet Boys Fan

I still refuse to believe I am fangirling and actually writing about my teenage fascination to boybands. 98 Degrees, The Moffatts, Westlife, Boyzone, Hanson, N'Sync, and last but not the least, Backstreet Boys. What's the big deal? I am twenty-freakin-nine!

Confessions Vol. 3: Odd Quirks

Everyone of us has this awkward or maybe undesirable habit, but since we're already living in a society where the not-so-normal is more than welcome, let's just say such habit can add up to the personality which makes one even more interesting. We always have a thing or two in us …

Confessions Vol. 2: I Am Very Messy

I arrived home sleepy and my mind drifting. Went straight to a familiar door, turned the knob, put my bag down, removed my clothes and threw it carelessly on the bed, then I changed to my usual  pambahay. I was about to throw myself to bed when I realized that I am not in my room. Here…

Confessions Vol. 1: I Have Never Been to Starbucks

Whenever I tell people that I have never been to Starbucks, I always get that expression of disbelief. Now, that makes me feel like I am such a loser and I think the world thinks it's a crime or something. Hmmm. Never been there nor tasted anything they have to offer. Okay, I'm…
