So there’s this thing now. Not just people obsessing over thrift stores or vintage shops, but folks breaking into abandoned houses. Yes, breaking into homes no longer lived in for the holy grail of fashion loot. It’s called bando picking. “Bando,” short for “abandoned building,” obviously. Here’s the […]
It’s that time of year again when I start buying gifts for others and, inevitably, start thinking, “But what about me?” Now, before you roll your eyes and mutter “consumerism at its finest,” hear me out. I’m a firm believer in the sacred ritual of self-gifting. Some people […]
There are victories no one will ever clap for. The kind that don’t make it into performance reviews, Instagram stories, or dinner table anecdotes. The ones that exist in a whisper that are quiet, personal, and invisible. But oh, so real. You know the type. The day you […]
I’m not usually one to get dizzy from news headlines, but this one gave me a touch of vertigo just reading it. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southern China has officially opened, and it’s now the world’s tallest bridge standing 2,050 feet above the Beipan River. That’s […]

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I am an extroverted introvert. Yes, we exist. No, it’s not a riddle. It means I can work a room with charm, banter, and enough social pizzazz to look like I was born in sequins and confetti. […]
Imagine walking into your boss’s office in the U.S. and announcing: “Yeah, I’m just not feeling it this week. I’ll see you in ten business days.” In most workplaces, HR would descend like a pack of caffeinated hawks, fluttering policies, paperwork, and possibly pink slips in your direction. […]
Some people celebrate October 1st as the beginning of the fourth quarter. Others mark it as pumpkin spice season. Me? I declare it the official beginning of the Month of Halloween. Yes, a whole month. Don’t argue with me. You can keep your one-day Halloween party and your […]
