You know how most people have this perception that they do not want to end up being that lonely old woman (or man) with the cats? Well, I've thought of a new benchmark. This. I do not ever want to be that lonely old woman who eats Christmas dinners out of a can. I understand that we are in an incredibly fast-food, fast-everything society these days but Christmas and Thanksgiving is the one . . .

VS 2012: A Sneak Peak
I love Victoria's Secret fashion shows. Yes, so does the rest of the world. Quite impressive how the lingerie brand has created quite the following despite the fact that the store is leaning on the edge of the tacky and the pieces are actually quite mid-range. But throw in some incredibly hot women, blown kisses, wings and sparkles in the mix and they successfully manage to put together quite the . . .
Silent Weekends
Gone are the days of absynthe shots and cocktails that taste like gummibears. Where the only headaches we got were when we got out of bed on a Saturday morning. or Sunday morning. Or both. Oh, you were fun while it lasted. It's my first weekend alone since I got to Shanghai, with the boyfriend gone on a business trip and the housemate gone back to visit her hometown. I could possibly be out going . . .
Random adidas Fact
Just in case you were all dying to know how the sportswear brand got its name. The name "adidas" dates back to 1948 and comes from the name of the company's founder, Adolf Dassler.

Starbucks Art
This is what happens when you leave an artist in Starbucks with a pen in hand... Starbucks. Avid coffee-lovers always insist that the coffee there really isn't that great, but once the green and white logo is spotted, everyone always seems to pop in anyway.

Calm in the Storm
First one home on a Friday night. Nothing to complain about, I've had my vodka lime soda, antipasto and a cheese platter. Between work, the big boss visiting Shanghai from Australia, a board game night, company dinners, the boyfriend's birthday, minor house redecorating and a new housemate, there's hardly been a moment to breathe this week. A flurry of good food and way too much enjoyment. Now for . . .
Sushi Giants
I seriously need to get myself to this place. Pronto. Umewaka. A sushi restaurant in Nagoya, Japan that is known to create insanely large sushi. The super-sized Anago sushi uses several slabs of eel fillets and could feed 6-8 sushi lovers. This is not a solitary sushi, feeling lonely in its giant-sushi world. You could also get order the 6kg jumbo Futomaki roll stuffed with 20 types of raw fish . . .
