After a 24 hour social media break challenge posed to me by my running coach, I caught back up on my building "Bak-Bak group" and noted that many women had seen and given high review ratings for the movie "Pink". None had said anything articulate or specific about it except that it was a "must watch ( Read more... )

So I thought $30 would be well worth it for race event energy and this Sat's run may as well be the race ( Read more... )

On the 4th of January, my 8 month old baby has started signing back to me for milk. I began signing to her 6 weeks before, and have developed my own signing vocabulary since then. I figured if I am attempting to teach her at least 2 languages, then a 3rd should be no big deal and it will help us all. Indeed, it has already begun to ( Read more... )

Early this year I was involved in a project's design development. I was inexperienced with this project phase and was working under another senior architect, known as being a designer. He was too busy to fully invest himself into design for this project. I've worked with him before so I should have realized that he tends to be heavy handed with his ( Read more... )
