Life is more colorful with Roy & Biv!

Color is the spice of life.  Well, to be honest, without color - things can be a little different.  My parents would tell me that they first saw television in black and white!  Movies - those Charlie Chaplin movies, were in black and white.  Imagine everyones delight when they finally saw TV in color.  I would remember watching period movies that emphasized that the show is now *In Color!*  And movies - how the colors takes us into another world.



When I first saw a Roy & Biv store, I was fascinated.  I mean, they were able color coordinate their displays and you don't see that everyday, right?  It was something different to me and so I would spend minutes just looking at the display rack of a certain color and admire all of the things on display, it was mesmerizing.  My Panget would always call my attention to hurry, I guess inside a Roy&Biv store - I was always get stuck in a moment.




So when I visited Roy & Biv Glorietta recently, well - I made sure to be alone this time.  I didn't want anyone waiting for me or telling me to hurry up.  As predicted, the same thing happened, what I thought was an easy task of grab and go shopping was not what happened.  I spent quite a while looking through the displays.  I walked back and forth looking at the stuff and thinking, what should I get.  I initially thought I'd stick to one color - but I didn't.  Hahaha!! :)

It was really mesmerizing, it was like I was in a daze.  I really enjoyed shopping at Roy & Biv.  Look at the pictures and for sure you'll understand what I mean.  I get easily drawn when I see a display of things of the same color.









I'm really a sucker for stationaries.  Even if I know I don't need them, I still get them.  Someday, maybe writing letters will make a comeback, hahaha!  I wish!  But seriously, I wish they'd make a come back.





I wish they'd sell the gum ball machines.  Hahaha!!  I would love to have one in the house.  Hihi.. :)

Visit Roy & Biv and enjoy the stuff they've curated for every color, they're really very interesting.  I'm sure you'd see something you'll like.

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
