Xenomania

I used to have seven cats.  Or was it six?  I do not remember.  All I know now is it all went out of hand and I could not take care of them anymore.  Now I am down to one and I am watching him grow.  I had one just like him, his name was [...]

I have always been simple with my outfits.  You can place me next to a boy and it would take as just as long to get dressed.  Jeans, shirt, and sneakers (or flip flops, if allowed) are my daily casual.  I would rather spend two hours (and I do too) in the shower than putting [...]

I never had the patience for shopping, especially clothes.  To those who know me well, they will tell you that when the word shopping is uttered in my presence, it almost literally translates to complete culinary hedonism.  Or a day in the electronics shop with the widest selection.  Never in designer high streets or the [...]

My generation is that of the idiot box.  Although we are not what you would consider social misfits, we gather most of our data on human relations from what we see on the telly, one of which is stereotypes. One of the most remarkable stereotypes derived from this is the nurse.  Images of nurse uniforms [...]

I have never been a fan of symbols that when put together, do not form words.  I was not surprised when I did not do well in mathematics. Like most parents and guardians, mine also thought that my problem was cognitive and it can be fixed by a tutor. I struggled with linear programming.  I [...]

Despite being a bit off in the head (not my words, there are just people you trust enough to be honest about what they think of you), I am quite generous. I am the type of person you can borrow money from and expect me to have faith in your own initiative to pay me [...]

As a child, I was the epitome of the ultimate klutz. Not a day will pass that I do not get a new cut from something as simple as turning the knob of the door to my room.  It also does not help that I like playing with stuff that I am told to stay [...]

When it was finally legal for me to move out of my folks’ place, I immediately realised my dream apartment: almost bare with just functional furniture. I have always liked the idea of living in a studio with nothing but a sofa bed that I can put away during the day. Bedroom furniture doubles as [...]

Sometimes, fate has a way of sneaking up on us.  We mingle, we date, we find the one and we decide to get hitched. We spend hours and a whole lot of dough on planning the perfect day to seal the deal and get hitched.  We pick the perfect venue that we book a lifetime [...]

I was at a mate’s birthday bash at a bar last Friday. I have not seen her in a long time and she said she recently started a fashion blog on a free weblog platform. I asked her why she did not just buy a domain for very little money and have her own customised [...]
