Coffee & Connect: Week 1

Hey guys! How have you been? It’s Saturday once again, yessssss weekend! I’ve been blog-hopping here and there and it’s so nice to see fresh content from our fellow bloggers! Twitter is such an interactive platform, so please comment down your handles so I can follow you. I’d love to check out new blogs out there! Anyway, for today, I’m sharing with you five things I’ve been so fond of lately. Hopefully you ‘d like them too! Netflix Series 1. Emily in Paris This has been a pretty hot topic on twitter and I finally the joined the badwagon. Truly, it didn’t disappoint! The series is about Emily Copper, who after landing her dream job in Paris, embraces her adventurous new life while juggling work,…

This week has zipped by so fast that when I look back, I can’t even remember doing anything worth mentioning—seriously, what even happened? 😂 There’s been so much going on around me lately. I keep telling myself not to let it get to me, but I think my body might be a better judge of that. I don’t feel stressed out, but somehow it’s showing up physically anyway. Work has been a bit of a madhouse recently. With two of my colleagues off on vacation, it’s just been me and another coworker holding down the fort. Those two weeks were intense, but we made it through. And just when I thought things might ease up, my best friend at work decided to quit. She’s putting…

Few weeks ago I’ve read this article called “Betting on the Planet”. It’s a very interesting debate between an ecologist, Paul Ehrlich, and an economist, Julian Simon, regarding environmental issues. You may access the file here. My thoughts were divided after reading the article. On one side, I am in favor of what Paul Ehrlich has to say. However, most of what I had in mind agrees with Julian Simon. Growing up, I was exposed to a lot of environmental issues. Almost all activities we had in high school concerned the preservation of the planet. We were trained to reuse, reduce and recycle. We were shown educational videos about how we, human beings, are slowly ruining our own home. Global warming was a hot topic, and almost…

Hey everyone, welcome to Food for Thought (a new blog series I launched last week) where I answer one common question and hopefully we both learn something from it. This week’s topic is a bit relevant to our current situation and one of the most famous questions asked at your basic Economics class: Why can’t the government just print more money to solve national issues such as poverty? The short answer is: Inflation. The long answer is: Let’s first start on why money was invented in the first place. Before fiat money (paper money which technically has no instrinsic value) was invented, our ancestors use the barter system. It is a system where goods and services are exchanged between entities. However, one of the major problems with…

I’ve never been on a party bus before EVER – so imagine my excitement when I found out that Star FM is hosting a halloween bus party! There are 4 buses, 4 mystery stops (with games & missions), and 1 exclusive after party! Starting point is at the courtyard across the radio station in George Town and where the bus is going? Nobody knows! 1st stop: Hell, West BayMission: Take a group photo with the devil I was hoping for the bus to go East for a change but oh well this year they decided to rome around West Bay – my district. First task is to take a group photo with the devil (kinda lame but yeah lol). Nobody gave af about the mission,…

I’m not sure if cooler fetes are a thing in Asia but here in the Caribbean it is almost like every outdoor party / event there is. Basically it’s a party where you can bring your own drinks and cooler. I’ve been to cooler fete twice before and it was fun, especially now that I learned how to drink (sush, it’s only our secret). Almost everybody I know still thinks I’m a good girl, but ever since I hopped on that flight to this side of the world, I feel like I’ve been liberated (to be free without regrets, that is). I have no idea at all of the music they played since my exposure is only on the mainstream ones. Dancehall or soca was…
