Priss on Feb 18th, 2011Work and Social Network
Starting work recently made me very paranoid about my presence online and in the social networking scene. I’ve created a new Facebook page to add my new colleagues and clients, and hide my old Facebook page as discretely as I possibly can! I guess I don’t really have anything to hide, but there are many [...]

During a conversation with a good friend, I discovered that most of my closer friends are people that do not hold full-time 9 to 5 (9am to 7pm in Singapore) jobs.

I was made known of the human papillomavirus (HPV) a few years ago, when I went for my regular PAP smear test with my gynecologist. That PAP smear came out to be inconclusive and I had to do another PAP smear three months later. During the three months, I was really scared that I might [...]
