The other day I typed a whole post about what to pack for a blog conference, and then I realized I should probably first tell you about how to prepare for said blog conference - all the things you should do before you even get to the packing part. After attending one blog conference (by BlogHer), I now think that I have arrived. I even have the audacity to type a whole post about what you should do. Yes, ke! First of all, let me start by saying that a blog conference - or any conference Read More
2015 Summer Is Vera’s Summer To Discover It!
When it comes to travel, photography, and being anal, my mommy is my muse. My mom is a world traveler. She has always loved traveling (and taking pictures everywhere). When she tells me of places she's been to and things she seen and done, I'm always so jealous because I have been a late bloomer.

It's not that I am in the Read More
How To Eat Your Cake And Have It Back With Sparking ICE Water

Something is wrong with this picture. Well, technically, there's nothing wrong with the picture. It's the description of the person in the picture. Sometimes, you stay home so much that you don't get the memo about how it's now possible to born pikins and still be a virgin. When I first read it, I tried to justify it by saying that perhaps, the three children are her adopted children, so she never gave birth and possibly never had sex. But the last part says she's hoping to Read More
I’m Inspired By My Future
When I was a child, I had very big dreams. I grew up as an only child, so I never knew what it was like to have siblings. I didn't have competition, and apart from my parents, I didn't really have anyone else to look up to or be inspired by. I wanted so many things. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to own a clothing store. I wanted to be medical doctor. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I wanted to own several cars, especially a red convertible car. When I used to dream as a child and even as Read More
