Heena and I were coming back from lunch and we stopped by a convenience store that sells make up and other beauty products. She was looking at BB creams but she did not buy because said she can get it cheaper through the internet. I asked her if she uses BB cream because […]

Water with Character

November 10th, 2009 · No Comments

I remembered when I was young that whenever I go to another place the water there tastes different. Of course now with the advent of different water treatments like distillation, water softeners, reverse osmosis, etc., taste is almost similar.

I think orlando vacations will not be complete without a trip to Disneyworld. Visiting Disneyworld or Disneyland has always been a childhood fantasy of mine.

Library is the Place to be

November 1st, 2009 · No Comments

I’m back in the library again. I’ve been here for the past two days working on my thesis. I’m already so behind my self-made schedule that I haven’t even done the revisions to incorporate the comments by the Thesis Writing Workshop lecturer. I like our library. I discovered that I am more […]
