I know the blog has been slow, but I’m currently addicted to twitter! My twitter name: @ilovewhiterice. Stay patient, I’ll come around to updating the blog soon. In the meantime, you know where to find me.

I don’t know how I completely forgot this was happening today! Maybe it’s better I didn’t go. I’m little and fragile and these maniacs would have pushed me to the ground.

Posted in fashion, New York Tagged: comme des garcon, h&M [...] I now know how I will be spending the rest of my late 20s - going to an endless parade of weddings. So far, Ricky’s and Jessica’s wedding has had the best groom’s cake. What other type of cake would a bodyboarder get anyway? In 2 weeks, I’ll be back [...]
Dude, this is so awesome! Even when they’re in prison, Filipinos will party. Below, a video of prisoners in Cebu - they work out by doing the Michael Jackson Thriller dance! Say what!
From International Herald Tribune, the prisoners do other dances too!
In their identical [...]
As much as I bitch about work (advertising), sometimes the perks make it all worth it. It doesn’t hurt that this time around I have an entertainment client, much more fun than working on a financial or tech client.
In just 2 days, I got to see a ton of the [...]
Walked out of my apartment on Henry and Pierrepont and who do I run into? Tyra Banks! I wonder what she was doing in Brooklyn Heights at 4:45 on a Saturday. She was wearing a tropical looking mini dress and had long blonde hair. She [...]
This is what it looked like when we evacuated our office building yesterday!
Wow, one minute I’m writing an email for work and the next, I’m running out of our building. If you’ve been watching the news, you’ll know that a steam pipe exploded by Grand Central which is right next to my building (I’m on 42nd and 3rd). After the commotion, I [...]
I’m taking my annual summer break from blogging - time to enjoy the sun and get tan.
[...]The day before we left, we knew we had to get one more day of beach action in! My parents wanted to go to this beach that was 8 hours away because it was known for its white sand, but Jeff and I were having none of that, especially since [...]
At the midway point of our trip, we decided to take a trip to do some shopping in Manila. Actually, we didn’t really “decide”; Manila is so congested that cars are assigned numbers and those numbers represent the day you are allowed to drive into the city. Since my cousin’s [...]
After Baguio, the next day, we took my parents to the courthouse in Dagupan so that they could finish filing paperwork for the resort. While we waited for them, my cousin asked us to if we wanted to take a walk on the beach. There we came upon a bunch [...]
Since Jeff has never been to the Philippines, my family wanted to make sure he got his trip’s worth and that meant going to a different “city” (I still don’t really understand how their town / province / city set up works there, so I’ll just call everything a city) [...]
Slowly, but surely, I’m recovering from my jet-lag (it didn’t hurt that I slept for 13 hours on Saturday). More highlights below…
The Philippines has a ton of carabao! This one below lived in the yard in front of my cousin’s house. Most of them were pretty cool; you’d usually see [...]
I’m back from my week long trip to the Philippines and I’m still really out of it from the jet-lag. Since the Philippines is 12 hours ahead of New York, my body keeps thinking it’s time to sleep during the day and time to be awake at 2:30 in the [...]
For those who look forward to my new postings every Sunday / Monday (you know who you are, Kelly!), you’re going to have to wait for new stories in June because on Thursday I leave for a 10 day vacation to the Philippines! [...]
Apparently since I’ve moved to Brooklyn, I’ve annoyed a few Manhattan friends with my endless postings about how much I love Brooklyn and specifically Brooklyn Heights. To appease them, today’s posting is all about Manhattan!
When I was in college, I lived in Broome Street dorm on Broome and [...]
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of admiring the beauty of my neighborhood… more pictures of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo.
Pierrepont Street.
Tulips on Columbia Heights.
Is there ever a time when there [...]
Spring has finally arrived in New York and everyone was out enjoying it. While showing 2 friends around the neighborhood, we visited all my favorite places in the Heights and Dumbo - the Promenade, pizza at Grimaldi’s, beer at Superfine, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and ice cream at Brooklyn Ice Cream [...]
I’m not sure what the letters in d.b.a. stand for, but I love how this bar allows dogs! It was an especially fitting venue for Dave’s birthday where Gilbert (named after Gilbert Blythe - Oh Anne!) was able to play with all the guests.

What better to do on a cold and cloudy Friday afternoon than to set up a shop to sell some art? Visit our virtual art store here: Boy and Joy and buy some art! Your walls will thank you for it.
Our favorite (don’t worry, once you buy it, the [...]
With all the celebrity / indie designer clothes that have come out recently at H&M and Target - Viktor & Rolf, Pronza, and Madonna just to name a few - none have made me as excited (so excited that I’m considering standing in line with everyone) as the debut of [...]
Just finished watching 2 episodes of Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel (and for anyone that knows me well, this is not a shameless plug for the show; it was actually really good - make sure you check out the bus shelters!). Anyway, watching the Discovery Channel reminded me [...]
For those that read my earlier posts, you’ll know that I made a quick stop to Norfolk last week where I was lucky enough to be able to see my parents. Aside from doing my laundry, I also spent most of the night showing my parents how to set up [...]
