Dieting in Excess

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Phuc

New Year’s had just passed. Many resolutions have been made, which, for many is about change in diet, and losing weight. Now Valentine’s Day is coming up next month– many want to look their best for a potential date. Then summer, it’s all about the beach bod… and then, before you know it, summer is over, we “regretfully” gain some during the holidays, and the new year is rolling around again. How much dieting is too much? Read more →

My Chips & Snacking Addiction

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Phuc

I don’t know what it is but lately for the past few months I’ve been increasing my intake on chips and snacks. But they aren’t entirely junk food as my selection has become more natural. But before, I was on a good streak in snacking occasionally, as my maybe my meals were sufficient enough for me to not snack… or perhaps there is more behind this “snacking addiction”?? Read more →

The Drunk Dial

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Phuc

The reality is that if you’re 21+ most of us have probably received at least one drunken phone call or drunk dial ourselves at one point in our lives. If it’s not a prank or something random, it’s usually when an individual is the most vulnerable. The most common emotion upon drunk dialing seems to be affection or anger. Read more →

Online Dating – Is it Worth It?

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Phuc

I haven’t tried online dating and I refuse to, not that there’s anything wrong with it at all. It’s also ironic, because I was thinking of building a online dating site too.  I know many people who have tried online dating, either the free dating services or paid ones and some of them explained to me their experiences.

Valentine’s Day Next Month

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Phuc

Valentine’s Day is next month, so in honor of this day of love, I will try to focus on topics of love, relationships, and friendships; experiences, lessons learned, and advice, over the next few weeks and also recap on some old posts. Yes, time to get really cheesy. A lot of people always wonder about my “love life”, and why I rarely or never talk about it. Check out relationships tag for related posts and relationships/friendships advice as well. Read more →

My Love is Not For Sale

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Phuc

Maybe it’s pride when I refuse a drink, dinner, and materials from a stranger interested, or perhaps it’s called being independent. People have offered me all sorts of things in exchange for a date, company, and other unbelievable unmentionables. Even though you may think I should flattered, often times, I feel slight offense when I feel one is trying to buy me– My love is not for sale. Read more →

Just Because I’m Skinny Doesn’t Mean I’ll Eat Everything

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Phuc

There’s a lot of media coverage discussing being overweight, dieting, and so on but not many about being a healthy underweight. I am considered “underweight” but “athletic” according to the BMI scale. So when I’m out and I turn down an offer or more offerings of something unhealthy, some people seemed a little appalled or offended, thinking that I’m skinny, can eat anything that I want, and not have to worry about weight or health issues.

Emptiness

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Phuc

If there is a word to describe how I’ve been feeling lately, emptiness would be it.  I’ve been through a lot, more than one would know, and after the most recent years of my life, I’m feeling empty, and a blank.  Read more →

Zombie Apocalypse Connecticut Black Out

Posted on November 20, 2011 by Phuc

By now you probably have experienced (or heard) what happened in Connecticut with the black out, power outage, people fighting for gas, flooding the stores, deaths by carbon monoxide, hypothermia, and chaos the upcoming days before Halloween, during, and after.  It felt like the Zombie Apocalypse had arrived and somehow days later I almost ended up making new Facebook friend(s), all from a surge protector.

Time Does Not Heal Hurt

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Phuc

I came to the conclusion that time does not really mend or heal hurt and pain, it just desensitizes it. It really hit me especially this year when I was unexpectedly faced with multiple memory lanes with different people. It’s not a matter of not moving on, forgiveness, or letting go, it is the fact that we cannot always change or control our immediate feelings or reactions we get, when we revisit, no matter how much we try to “forget” or get away from it. In some cases, we will never receive answers to our questions or full closure. In that case, sometimes the only way I cannot feel the same again is if I disconnect myself, suppress, or “desensitize” myself from it.
