I IZ BAK!!

I was lying motionlessly on the bed lapping in the last remaining hours of my much needed weekend when my boyfriend called out from the hall – “Cheryl, what happened to your blog? I think someone hacked into your account and deleted all your post-February entries”. I scrambled out of bed and frantically punched in … Continue reading »

I had a blonde moment today

At lunch my boss walked purposefully to my desk and loudly declared “Cheryl, the Parliament has been dissolved!” I looked up from my notebook screen and rapidly pondered on an appropriate response.  From the blank expression in my eyes he knew I could not make any meaning of what he just said.

Shopping Spree at Esprit Outlet Store

Yesterday, while the average working person slogged away at the office, I *evil laugh* went shopping at the Esprit Outlet Store in Queen’s Park. Although I didn’t drive (thanks to my wonderful cousin) and posses a terrible sense of direction, Queen’s Park seemed relatively easy to find.

Call me traditional, but I’m inclined to believe that a guy who approaches me online is more likely to be a child pedophile or a serial rapist than say, a guy I meet through a mutual friend. While I personally know three couples who’ve tied … Continue reading »

Sounds too good to be true? Well according to Neil Strauss, author of The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists (a book that’s fast becoming the bible for sexually frustrated men everywhere), the key to unlocking a women’s heart and legs, lie in executing a detailed set of rules which can be easily applied by … Continue reading »

Impressions I won’t forget from Puck-get

I spent Christmas in Phuket, and returned with an uneven tan and a tubbier midriff courtesy of too many servings of green curry and Pad Thai.  Instead of staying along the more popular Patong Beach, notoriously famous for it’s nightlife and shopping, we stayed at secluded Cape Panwa, possibly famous for being secluded and having heaps of dead and sharp … Continue reading »
