August 2015. Cake. That was the name of the club. My cousin, Ming, was turning 19 and I agreed to be the designated driver. She got bottle service, so we had our own table. I spent most of the night at the table while the “youngins” took to the dance floor. The crowd was 19-23 […]

OPP…
May 2015. He reached out to me first on Match. I checked his profile and nothing stood out as super unique or spectacular; but on the surface, things seemed “normal” (although they all appear fucking normal until you start peeling back the layers). About two weeks after emailing back and forth, we decided to meet […]
Woodcock…
February 2015. After the Brick, I immediately became engrossed in my online apps. The sooner I found someone, the better. I threw out all of my standards out the window (if I even had any at this vulnerable and desperate time) in exchange for immediate appeasement. We met on Match. His profile read like the […]
The Brick…
September 2014. I was excited. It was fall; I had spent most of the summer in California and Greece; I had bought my first brand new car; I had shaken off the negative “mansperiences” thus far; and I was starting a new full-time job (thank the fucking lord. I had been working two part time […]
The Firefighter…
August 2014. Friday night. Girls’ night. We were so excited! It was me and four of my cousins, Queen B and Cheese included, who aren’t blood related to me, but the four of them are actually first cousins. Do you feel me? Filipinos, I tell you; we’re all “related”. I had just gotten back from […]
The Burger Boy…
April 2014. It started out with me and my work buddies grabbing lunch at the burger joint down the street. None of us had been before. It’s a small diner-type place that was always busy. Their burgers and chicken fingers are pretty good, but their thick-cut fries are the fucking best. So, you order up, […]
Whiskey Dick…
April 2014. He couldn’t keep it up and could barely get it up. We were both so drunk. This was my first encounter with a new man as a newly single woman. It had been two months since me and my almost husband parted ways. My cousins threw a huge group birthday celebration at Sukho […]
My Ride or Dies…
Every woman has her entourage, posse, girlfriends/guy friends, chosen family, homies, besties or whatever you may call them. They are those who provide many of life’s essentials, playing various and vital roles in a girl’s life and are pivotal to help one survive and navigate all types of relationships. I would be infinitely lost without […]
The Ex-Fiancé Hook Up…
February 2014. The ex-fiancé and I kept in contact after I moved back in with mom – only phone calls. We talked about what was going on in each other’s lives. I know, it’s fucked. We were fresh out of our relationship and here we were “catching up”. In between the lovely and awkward conversation, […]
The Heartbreak…
Before we get to the juicy shit, let’s give you my back story. We went to high school together. We had some common friends who brought us together in our twenties. We started out as fuck friends. We both just came out of serious relationships. We hooked up every week for almost a year. Then […]
