songs-of-our-breakup-jill-shinta-mori-kim-mikiI dreamed of being one once. I got my dad to buy me an acoustic guitar, and I brought it along to school to learn the chords to Leaving on a Jetplane and Ako’y Sayo, Ika’y Sakin.

LSSing: Beautiful Goodbye

I guess it started with a plot bunny, that multiplied into two. Then lunch made me sleepy, and I had to have Adam in my ear. And now it’s Sunday and it’s raining outside. In any case, I’m LSSing, and I can’t complain, really. And let them go, let them fly Holding back won’t turn […]

Review: Favorite Skin Care Things with Green Tea

Tea saves the day! And oily skins!It took me a while to like drinking green tea. I guess any 3-in-1 or Starbucks coffee fan should expect the initial hesitation. Unlike the strong, rich taste of a whipped cream-topped cup of joe, green tea was mild, fragrant, and very light. Eventually, its refreshing taste and its long list of health benefits got me […]
