Blogparteeh shots Uh. The just-concluded BlogParteeh07 didn't turn out to be boring as I thought, in fairness to those who organized it and everyone who took the time to attend. Proof of this was the fact that I had only planned to linger for a couple of hours but stayed till the end. It was everyone's turn to shine, particularly the new bloggers who are just starting to come out of the shell, so to speak. There is a bustling blogging community in the country and the presence of freebies, prizes and sponsors that night proved that some people now recognize ... Continue Reading...

Why I am not too excited to BlogParteeh!….
BlogParteeh07Logo There's a big bloggers' event happening on Saturday. Most likely, I will be there. It goes with the job, it goes with the territory. But you know why am not too excited about these things? Here's why... 1. I believe I've attended far too many EBs, meet-ups, and blogcons and it's the same boring banana for this ADD-induced blogger. Unless of course they introduce a banana stripper soon. 2. I feel soo ooold mingling with these bloggers whose median age is 22 to 25. Which means they were just born when I was ooold enough to dance to ... Continue Reading...
A beauty bounty from Elianto
elianto gift If companies are going to send moi their products to sample everyday, especially if it pertains to beauty, then of course I'll say yes without thinking and transform this site into a make-up blog soon, hehe (just kidding) .

My make-up loot consisted of their (1) Pure White Flawless Two-Way Cake, (2) the Aloe Eye Cream and the (3) Honey Body Lotion. I ordered for #1 because I ... Continue Reading...
Exploring Kota Kinabalu, the ‘land below the wind’
KK mosaic Going to Kota Kinabalu was like a leap in the dark. I never knew what to expect there, except that its name sounded exotic enough. After the hustle and bustle of KL, this place was genteel and serene. The people seemed to be supremely at peace with themselves and I can only be a satisfied tourist not having to deal with a single rude encounter (plus somebody returned my wallet!) The city itself was pretty, with its focal points like the jetty, the market and the esplanade, facing the waterfront -- South China Sea to be exact! The lack of any tall ... Continue Reading...
Strange things happened on the way to Kota Kinabalu..
self-portrait Just got back from my marathon two-day, two-night trip to Kota Kinabalu. And photo shows me taking a self-portrait in my hotel room before hitting the tub on a Tuesday night. Anyway, two things happened to me on this trip: One: after telling to me book and pay for our tickets a few months before, my KL travel companion cancelled at the last minute, and all because she was waiting for payola from some Thai highroller Can't believe she can do that, but rather than let her odd mean behavior dampen me, life has to go on. At least I was ... Continue Reading...
