We were once asked to fill out a questionnaire at work that was meant to assess our strengths and weaknesses. The survey had over 150 questions and we were meant to share our results with our group when done. After the 10th question, I gave up, there was simply no way I was going to [...]

In my sophomore year of high school I met two girls who would soon become my best friends. At first glance, it was an unlikely friendship. One of them was a champion equestrienne who also made it to class president, and the other was a self described tomboy because she said she loved sports and [...]

When I was six my birthday fell on Easter Sunday. I must tell you – this was probably the high point of my childhood. I mean, how cool was that for MY birthday to fall on this day? It was such a happy surprise and I wondered why I didn’t realize that this was the [...]

Being invited to someone’s house for dinner always poses a problem for me. I often wonder, what’s the best thing to bring? Given a choice between bringing the standard wine, flowers or food, I’ll inevitably resort to bringing food. Then there’s the dilemma of what dish to bring. Do I bring an entree or dessert? [...]

Coming from the Philippines where adorning homes with Christmas decorations has become a national pastime that begins in September, my first impression was that Australians weren’t very keen on Christmas. I couldn’t get used to Santa in a body suit, trading turtlenecks for singlets, or a “white Christmas” referring to spending time in Bondi beach. [...]
