A couple of days ago, I was suddenly hit by a burning wanderlust upon learning that I’ve got close to 12,000 miles expiring soon on my frequent flyer program. I searched the airline website and day-dreamt about the possible destinations that I can go to, eliminating Korea and Japan for their impossibly high living [...]
Over lunch yesterday, I watched this endearing little movie called Juno. It was a fun film, both smart and unpretentious, and manifesting the same characteristics as Little Miss Sunshine that made me love that film so much.

After winning the year end poker tourney with a bunch of high school buddies on new year’s eve (getting an ace-high straight on a no-look, all-in on the final hand, san ka pa?), I remarked that the game signified redemption from an otherwise bad year.
