Read more "To Bling or Not To Bling"Okay. Here’s the lay of the land. Simply put, I don’t have internet where I’m staying and that sucks. The director asked me today when we went out for lunch at Piccadilly’s what were my hobbies and I realised we don’t do hobbying anymore. Seriously, what person from my generation has a hobby? Do we […]
Read more "Managing The Meantime"I’ve been being rude for this year and a half I’ve had this blog.

Read more "Why Do I Have To Cross This River?"Okay. It’s Friday, I’m COMPLETELY burned out from this semester and I still have two more papers to finish. But, to ease the pain of this semester and the withdrawal symptoms I’m enduring, I’ve discovered this new app on Facebook where they design quizzes to help determine personalities, which city you should live in, how […]
Read more "Friday Fool Fest from Facebook"I guess next time I do a guest blog over at AverageBro I should ask for at least a cubicle in the office so I don’t have to worry about schlepping a whole buncha stuff over each time, lol. No, seriously, all jokes aside, I breached an interesting topic over there and I wasn’t sure […]
