For most reading, I’d assume you understand the term ‘long distance’, but saying this to my Japanese colleague caused a bit of confusion. You see in Japanese this term would be translated as ‘long distance love’ (é è·é›¢æ‹æ„›). My argument is that two people do not necessarily have to be in love (cynical I know) to…
Finding the perfect mate is like finding the perfect outfit for a soiree – it takes dedication, lots of effort, friends to help you and in most cases it’s hidden in a fabulous vintage store in a unique ‘district’. Finding the perfect mate is also like looking for a car – you have to search…
So, you might have met him on the train, at the supermarket (no comment *guilty look*), at work (no comment, again), at the gym, walking home from the movies, at the movies, at your Soho hair salon, while shopping for that ‘must have’ scarf to match that ‘needed to have’ sweater you bought last year,…

Battered, bruised, saddened and apprehensive are just some of the feelings one has after being a victim of numerous failed relationships. Each time your heart gets broken, you would swear on your Fendi tote that you will never go through this again. Then a few months down the road you find yourself at the mirror…
