HELLO CAMBODIA! (Siem Reap Day 2: The Rolous &...
Choum Reap Souar! In other words, “Hello!” in Khmer language. So we are back in the Khmer world. This time, let me give you a glimpse of the ancient temples built by the Kings of the Khmer Empire in the 9th century.
In the morning, after our scrumptious breakfast (the hotel’s service was excellent!) our guide took us to The Rolous Group, also known as the Preah Ko, Bakong and...

HELLO CAMBODIA! (Siem Reap Day 1: A Glimpse of Pub...
CAMBODIA, also known as Kampuchea, is one of the Great Asian Civilization countries that I dream to visit. As a student, I find History class very interesting but a bit boring when you are contained in the corners of your classroom. So my scream in life is “GO TRAVEL!” After all, what would life be if you are so stagnant?
Anyway last year, I am lucky to have a very supportive...

When Longchamp Meets Mary

With a theme and illustrations inspired by the meeting of Asian and Western worlds, this 2012 Spring/Summer Limited Edition will swoon over bag...

To the Moon and Back
I am bored to my wits. I almost ran outside, into the night, fling my arms like a lunatic on the loose and scream my lungs out “MOOOOON!!! TAKE ME AWAY WITH YOU! FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS MELANCHOLIC PLANET!”
But of course I am partly sane so I can NOT do that. So what I did was rummage my old cabinet for nothing just to see something. Anything.
And I did.
You see, when my father was...

M.A.C. Spelled My Name - REBEL.
Let me check my memory first. Uh…yes, in my birth certificate it stated there that I am a FEMALE. But even though I go gaga over stilettos and totes and skirts and tube tops, I was never fond of those things you put on your face. Believe me, I am not into mirrors. And even though I have this crazy habit of modelling inside the fitting room (because I like clothes, really), I can...

Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon a brow,
And in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow.
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream.
Yet if hope has flown away,
In a night or in a day.
In a vision or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem,
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Or a surf-tormented shore.
And I hold within my hand
Grains...

Here Comes the Starbucks Christmas 2012 Planner!
It’s Starbucks planner craze once again! Time to hit every store and collect those stickers! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of coffee, not even Starbucks, but I consider myself an OC (Obsessive-Compulsive) person that doesn’t get satisfied with her Blackberry organizer, laptop and volumes of notebooks. I jot every note, every event, and everything that cross my mind in...

One Sartorial Friday
I was only window shopping when my eyes caught sight of this top from Mango hanging alone like it’s meant to be noticed. Waiting for some hungry eyes to try it on.
So I got to be its victim.
Well, I have this guilty pleasure of modeling inside a fitting room since I couldn’t get my ass on a catwalk (ha ha!) let alone a fashion photo shoot, so here is one sartorial shot of me in...

Excerpt from the Virgin Suicides
” We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all…
… We knew finally,...
