The Art of the Tease: Mixed Signals

If I were to sum up the best flirting tips I have ever read, heard of, and heard directly from real natural-born flirts, they would amount to only one phrase: mixed signals. The push and pull, the hot and cold, the green and red lights, clues that he likes you.

Relationships and Money

Starting a lasting love connection with someone includes being on the same page and having similar goals. Directing the flow of the relationship is difficult enough with all the quirks and bumps involving feelings and reactions, but there is one more factor that becomes an issue only when the couple considers it a big part [...]

Single Living Quirks: The Packed Overnight Bag

Have you ever met Woobie the “Girl Scout”? You should. She is one independent chick who keeps a few useful and practical things inside her magic bag. :D
I’ve been called ‘girl scout’ on occasion because of my foresight to bring stuff in outdoor events and parties that no one thinks of to bring. Sure, the [...]

Sensual Non-Verbal

Touch… I cannot even begin to describe the role that this action word played in my past and present love life. Touching, whether figuratively or literally, makes a person take notice of you. How do we utilize the power of touch in our daily intimate lives? One way is through massage. This is the best [...]

I Love Cosplay!

When was the last time you donned a costume for a party? Were you afraid you’ll look silly? How about if you attended a consortium event with thousands of people wearing costumes, won’t you feel sillier if you’re not wearing one? My love for cosplay goes way back.

Another Friend Takes The Plunge

Just got back from a friend’s wedding and this time I did not cry as much as I did when my best friend got hitched. Just a couple of sweat-ridden moments when my friend was walking down the aisle in her white dress, and this Evil Woobie in my mind shouting “There’s still time. Run, [...]

How Divas Are Made

Young girls reach “the age of me” at the exact same time when they discover that some boys are cute. That’s when dreams of living a diva’s life start, and with it comes the endless browsing of the latest and hottest trends in magazines. This is also the time when red alerts ring in parents’ [...]

Explaining Online Interaction to the Uninitiated

Have you ever tried giving a one-liner discussion of a concept to someone who knows absolutely nothing about it just because that idea wasn’t there when she was growing up? You should have heard me try to explain my job to prying oldies in my hometown who just want to snoop on what happened to [...]

Manila Bay Summer Sunsets

The reason why I didn’t opt to study college in another city is a romantic one: I didn’t want to miss the sunsets that I heard so much about when I was younger and living in another province. With or without someone with me, I used to hang out at hotel rooftops and pool decks, [...]

The Devil Made Me Do It (With Your Bestfriend)

Ah, friendship, the life’s quirk that enables people to connect with others in a deeper manner than just exchanging hello’s. A best friend is someone who is similar to, and yet so unlike, you. Two people bond in this type of relationship because they complement each other, where one is weak the other is strong, [...]
