Level Up Your #PiattosTime and Win an Asian Trip

Although a full-blown sweets fanatic, I'm all for tangy and salty flavors too especially when it comes to chips! Growing up, I've come to love these hexagonal beauties that is Piattos and today I'm showing you three new ways to enjoy it (think marriage of chips and dessert) and how you can win a Southeast Asian trip for you and a friend!

Word Vomit: 24 and Unfiltered

I never thought there'd come a day when I'd cringe at the thought of my age but not for the reason that most people would think. I'm a year older now, 24 to be exact. It feels surreal because so much has already happened and yet so much hasn't. I feel like I'm in an "in between" phase. I think I know what to do and yet I don't. But looking back, 24 years is quite a lot of time and boy I never imagined it to be such a roller coaster.

So today, I decided to spit out some word vomit. Don't worry I'm not going down the Cady Heron/Regina George highway. Think about this as a more personal and casual post. A friend talking to a friend. Something a little more easygoing and unfiltered unlike my fictional, poetic and well-curated posts. This is more of me and my thoughts spilling. Just spilling.

Change The Way You See Friendship

If you told me that I'd make good friends by virtue of the internet, I would have laughed in your face. It's scary. That's dangerous. You're begging for trouble. There's a stigma around forging such connections through cyberspace and I for one can't blame people. But believe it or not I managed to find kindred souls, in most cases by happenstance, and this has changed the way I see friendship forever.

To the Guy I First Loved

Dear first love. There’s something about the rain that reminds me of you.

Its gentle pitter-patter against my bedroom window brings me back to how I used to sneak out of our house just to spend a night with you at the park. You’d be in your usual graphic tee with that snapback worn backwards and a smile across your lips. You’d bring a bag of fries and we’d talk endlessly about random things until the sky shows faint cracks of light and we’d hurriedly head back hoping nobody noticed our little crime.

5 Hashtags for Your Next Bestie Photo

We live in the so called golden age of social media and taking pictures with your best friends has never been the same. It’s no longer just about snapping and sharing. Somehow, people have come to terms with extracting their creative juices to come up with memorable trinkets that are not only #tbt worthy but also #Instagrammable.

How I Make Worklife Easier

Adulting is no joke. Whoever said that turning twenty-something meant the era of "having things figured out" was definitely on a daze. Mad Hatter crazy if you ask me! No wonder Peter Pan ran off to Neverland! But don't get me wrong. I like my days productive and I always find myself looking for something to do but then again there are times when stress becomes a wee bit too much to bear.
