Don’t believe social media!
What’s one piece of travel advice you always follow? View all responses I’ll do another post about this, but the number of times that we had been misinformed, outrightly misled or totally lied to by people posting on social-media is diabolical. There’s no such thing as the ‘truth’ anymore, not when you feel that facts… Continue reading

In the city
I hate tours.I hate to be directed, told where to go, what to do and to be spoon-fed information which for the most part, I could have learned by myself. Sure, we put in tons of notes gathered from everywhere but the moment we landed, that was inexplicably thrown out the window. We were led… Continue reading

In 72 hours, I’ll be having dinner in Tokyo, but before that..
We had to take Lily to the vet for her regular check-up. Clever girl took a glimpse at the cat-carrier and attempted to hide in the bedroom. She was meowing fitfully in the car which soon became this high-pitched chirp which she puts on every time she wants to look ‘vulnerable’. That’s what we suspect… Continue reading

The Weekend
1. Tried out the new train station stops in Auckland and they were great, but to put into some personal perspective, all that money and effort just so I wouldn’t have to walk up from the Waitemata Station all the way up Queen Street- hardly a hardship- to the cinemas at the old Metro Building,… Continue reading

How do you make time for self-care? View all responses You don’t, because you should be doing it every-day.

Every day self-care for me consists of the… Continue reading

A change of perception
What’s one thing that would instantly improve your city? View all responses I love Auckland and I think it’s perfect the way it is. But it gets a lot of flack from people who’ve lived (and are native born) here all their lives which I don’t get, and I think I never will even if… Continue reading

Sassy. Unbothered.No filter.
If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says? View all responses An alum of the SPCA, we got Lily when her young owners gave her up because they all went overseas. Because of this, we’d sometimes tease and call her a ‘third-hand cat“. And strangely, she always knew that we… Continue reading

The airport & the country were so good, he stayed permanently
Best list:1. Auckland International Airport; when I came for a visit in 2008, I was randomly picked for screening and I didn’t even know that it was one. The agent was so friendly it felt like someone was just trying to give you a warm welcome. Suffice it to say that I stayed indefinitely.2. Guangzhou… Continue reading

It’s annoying because it’s happening in real life and no one is doing anything about it
The government/military villain who is responsible for the whole fiasco- a monster running amok, an alien gone rogue, a star witness on the run– and is now stopping at nothing to hide the deed and eliminate those who are out to expose the truth. Well guess what? There are actual real life governments who are… Continue reading
