Back in October, I had this brilliant idea to get ahead of the holiday chaos and ordered custom Christmas cards early. I was feeling pretty proud of myself—like, Look at me being all organized and prepared! My plan was foolproof:...

Raine38 I am happy to report that I was able to send out my Christmas cards yesterday! Way later than what I wanted, but at least I am confident that the recipients will get these before Christmas.

A few months ago, I decided to get some additional earlobe piercings, because why not. I have always wanted some when I was younger, but my mom would kill me if I did. I figure now that I am an adult who has her own money and...

Raine38 I think he is just lonely, as he has a business to run so he needs to uphold a good reputation or impression amongst his clients. But like I mentioned below, he has a lot going on so I do not know how he can even think about dating. But he knows - he probably...

There’s this teacher I know who was originally from the Philippines—he's been teaching for years—who just got let go, or maybe pushed to resign. No one’s saying much, but the group chat’s buzzing about how he’s been struggling...

Raine38 @Iam_jauntyjen Awesome, good for you, and I am happy that you finally found those people. Nothing makes me happier than to see other people being successful - whether in life, in making friends, or starting a new life else where. I'll bet with your friends...

One of the perks of living in the rockies is the abundance of nature trails. Before moving here in the United States, I would climb mountains with friends and co-workers. The last mountain that we climbed was Mount Pico de Loro in...

Raine38 Thank you! trust me, I am not by any maans athletic or big into outdoorsy stuff, but for some reason hiking in a good scenery just makes the experience better for me. Like I do not get bored or tired too easily. My eyes constantly marvel at what nature has,...

Raine38 @Iam_jauntyjen And that's a blessing in itself. I do believe that sometimes, we meet people so we learn a lesson or two and be able to fully appreciate the ones who will be our true friends. Getting hurt by these kinds of people also help us become stronger. I...

Raine38 @Iam_jauntyjen Goodness, I totally understand where you're coming from! I have an almost similar experience here. And similarly, it's not that we are faulting them for their background - I have met and made friends with people here who were also living in very...

Raine38 Yeah, this did cross my mind, that this could be another one of his marketing tactics. And by me "introducing" him to other ladies is essentially me spreading the word about his shop.

Raine38 @aureategloom I see, very interesting. Is it a social or economic issue, or it depends on what their definition is of "not having enough"?

Let me tell you a story about a classic case of always wanting the best for yourself—but with a twist that didn’t quite work out. A few years ago, I met this guy at a dinner with friends. Turns out, we had a mutual connection...

Raine38 @aureategloom True, she's a good looking woman after all. But good looks can only get someone so far. After that, what else is there? It's sad that some people do not grow out of their teenage mean ways - you would think once they reach a certain age, they...

In our current living situation, my husband and I will have to share a home office space. I will end up using it more, unless of course I was scheduled to travel for work on a week. During his rest days, he is more likely to use...

Raine38 @aureategloom That is very interesting. I think in Japan, tipping culture is also not a thing. Unfortunately here in the US, most of the servers have to rely on tips to make a decent wage.

Raine38 @aureategloom Me too! I love happy endings like this. If I am being petty, I will buy a book from his wife/girlfriend and gift it to A. But nah, that's really asking for trouble. Would be nice though, if she or anyone in her posey can actually see that his...

Raine38 They are really wholesome, fun and unique, I think. I told Amy (my former assistant) that she can actually sell these at Etsy or at Facebook marketplace because of how meticulous and nicely she did them. She might have to figure out a way to be able to use the...

Raine38 Yes, I am glad he took my side on this. My husband worked in the food service industry during his high school-college days, so he can definitely empathize with the server in this scenario. As for making food - there are times that I can get it right. When I...

Raine38 @aureategloom I am not sure of their family dynamics because I did not ask, lest I give him an impression that I find him interesting. But I just listened to whatever he shared with me. I think he's a good dad to all his kids - he did say that he never...

Raine38 I heard from the grapevine that either they have gotten married or moved in together. They moved to another state a few months ago, and since we're connected in Facebook, I saw that they bought a house that A was going to salivate over. Hopefully he did it for...

Raine38 Yes, one - the guy that she is currently dating is my co-worker. And he is the one that told me about it, he figured out our "connection". When she accepted the accidental friend request, I restricted her access to my page, hopefully she will not see a lot,...
