Long, busy day

I'm very exhausted after a long and full day. I woke up this morning with NO RECOLLECTION WHATSOEVER of having heard my alarm ring, let along having turned it off. I ended up not only being 10 minutes late for...

Blog maintenance

Dunno whether anybody noticed, since nobody mentioned anything, but now you guys will have to preview your comments first before posting. Sorry for the extra step -- it's to prevent spam. Also, I have set up a photoblog to post...

Happy birthday, Emmy!

In brief (I think)

I've hardly had any time to get online over the past few days. Friday was my last working day, so I was rushing to finish up my last few assignments, going around saying my good-byes, and getting caught up in...

Any title with the word 'car' in it is a bad sign

THIS is the car that has given me so much grief. Yes, I am still in town, and YES, I had car trouble. Again. Anybody surprised? Me neither. *shrugs* Well, technically I didn't have car trouble, coz I doubled back...

Losing home

Greetings from my hometown. I think I'm going deaf from the different types of music blaring from various computer terminals and all the shooting going on in this Internet cafe... :D This trip home has been different from all the...

The dating game

I'm trying out this new dating service in town. Well, they offered me a three-month free trial, so I thought, why not? They just set you up on a series of blind dates, after all. Could be interesting. You are...

Who pays?

While we're talking about dating (I was, the day before yesterday, if you noticed), let me just say that I don't believe the guy has to pay all the time. See? SEE? I don't demand much, am pretty easy-going, quite...

Finding Mr I-want-to-spend-my-whole-life-with

I attended a friend's wedding today. That's a picture of one of the small cake boxes normally placed on the table, beside the plate of each guest... it contains a slice of fruit cake. I think that's supposed to be...

On 'The One'

Blink (my bro) asked me recently whether I believe in "The One". I said it doesn't matter. Whether you believe there is only one person out there for you or you believe there is a pool of potentials to choose...

Conflicted thoughts

It's a Wednesday night and I ought to be at my church cell group meeting. The thing is, I haven't been to either cell group or church service in at least two months -- except for the time I visited...

A question of commitment

Talking to people helps to clarify my thoughts, ideas, motives, and intentions. I just got off the phone with my aunt, who attends the same church I do. She said, "Ping, I'm worried about you, because you don't seem to...
