It was May 23, 2007 when the employed me kicked off at 852. So, today marks my 10th year as an overseas foreign worker. My batch mate, Josh and I were exchanging our “Happy Anniversary” greetings to each other and we can’t help but get amazed about how we kind of feel the same but when we look at our…
A “profile feature” is a newspaper article that explores the background and character of a particular person (or group). The focus is on news angle or a single aspect of the subject’s personal or professional life. Countless times, I featured superb talents, successful entrepreneurs and inspirational people. And it never fails to put me in awe learning about their journey each time.…
Imagine a world without music. Exactly. It’s like a clear space for soulless creatures to roam around without purpose… Or at least, that’s how it would be like for me. Thank God for the arts. And thank God for the art teachers. This post was supposedly featuring the business side of hailing music. But as I write it, I can’t…
I am beyond grateful and proud of Falaniko Penesa Solomona who had represented his family from Puipaa, Apia, Samoa and the Poloma Toomalatai Fire Knife Team coming all the way from Hong Kong.

When it comes to relationships, nobody is an expert. Halfway of something that I write about it, most of the time stays as a draft because, hey! Who am I to preach? Mine is continuous work up too if I may be honest. I guess it’s just right to say that all of us have our own struggles when it…
Working a routine that your system needs to adapt to: the id (your physical body), the super ego (morale) and the ego (ability to reason out), heeds a lot of work. Due to the demands of my work, staying in shape included an 8am workout everyday at least 15 minutes each time. This was a pain at the beginning but this smoothie was…
My husband cooks very good. He owns skills learning how to cook from a man-made oven and he owns the craft passionately. I have always known that you can tell if a chef is good when they talk about the quality of their ingredients and the relationship of spices to one another. And, how the source of the taste, whether…

Year after year, Hong Kong hosts the most prestigious event among rugby enthusiasts and this year I get to see it. Yep! So many people had asked what was I doing this 11 years for not experiencing such a festive event when Hong Kong is one of the best hosts of it. Well, I am a Rugby Sevens virgin no more.…
