Scammar and Grammer

Two of my friends have had their photos used by imposters to scam people on Facebook just recently.  Friend #1 learned about her imposter when it tried to sell baby stuff on Facebook and her friend from another city saw the listing. The imposter's fake profile was reported and taken …

Triggered

I still remember the last time I drew something. It was Valentine's Day four years ago when, like any other Valentine's, Jan and I had nothing better to do. It was a year before the pandemic but staying home was already a much better choice that day. So Jan challenged me to draw s…

Ladies, how do you do things with long nails?

I don't really get my fingernails done.  My hands look too manly that no amount of hand spa and nail color can make it ladylike. My day to day activities are also not very friendly for long, prettyfied, manicured nails (I wash my children's bum, no thanks). So yeah, a trip to the …

Travel Outfits on a Budget: What I Wore in Singapore

Do you remember the time when I could not be bothered to look good because I paid so little attention to my outfits? Well, my blog does . πŸ˜… Then I realized how making a simple upgrade to my style just made me feel better overall. It does feel empowering, you know. Every outfit that I ch…
