Celebrating a New Year in Singapore

Same-sex love in 2013
The LGBT rights movement took a momentous leap forward in 2013 with the United States Supreme Court striking down the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA.

I want to increase productivity at work. While I love learning new things from my closest friends thru social media, I also get […]

Happy 48th Birthday, Singapore!
Singapore turned 48 this year. We didn’t get to watch the National Day Parade live (or at least nearby for the fireworks). We watched the coverage on HD 5 from home. It’s nice to observe how different countries do their National Day. The U.S. celebrates every “4th of July” while the Philippines has its own […]
