  • So I Had Some Good Craic in Ireland

    So I Had Some Good Craic in Ireland

    Like the hopeless romantic I am, I fell in love with Holly and Gerry’s love in P.S. I Love You. But watching them meet for the first time, standing on a dirt road, surrounded by green fields and hills, I fell in love with Ireland, too.

    I Now Understand the Miami Obsession…

    I’m a Pisces. This automatically explains my emotional personality and sensitivity to others’ feelings, but when your zodiac symbol is two fish and your element is water, it also explains why I love anything beach related. Like a lot.

  • From the Bottom

    From the Bottom

    “If you want to be a good writer, you have to know what the bottom looks like,” my godfather told me as he lifted his beer bottle to his lips. Rain was pounding down outside, the humidity disappearing with the strong blast of the A/C.

    The Filipino Who Couldn’t Speak Tagalog

    I can’t speak Tagalog. When I first moved to Canada it only took me three weeks to drop my mother tongue, and adopt English as my own. My parents never corrected me.

  • My Misadventures in Melbourne

    My Misadventures in Melbourne

    My cousin’s boyfriend laughed at me when I said I wanted to lose weight. Apparently, that’s not an option when you travel in Melbourne. Defined as the food capital of Australia, I guess I can see why he said it: the first 48 hours I was in the country, let alone the city, all I did was eat…
