Although it may be a few weeks too late, let me just say it. Happy New Year everyone! In my own quiet way, I’m so excited about 2013 for various reasons. First, the Mayans were wrong and the world didn’t end. Second, over the past few weeks, I’ve renewed my love for blogging, writing, and connecting with and helping more [...]

Introvert Guide | How to Survive Holiday Parties Unscathed

Glori Surban — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:13:00 +0000

While the rest of the world rejoice when the holiday season comes, most introverts dread it. Kind of. Holiday festivities tend to be noisy and crowded events. You know, the kind that we stay away from all year. We sometimes argue with ourselves if we’ll go to a party or not while trying to come up with excuses not [...]

What I Learned from My Extrovert and Ambivert Friends

Glori Surban — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:36:00 +0000

Being a big believer in the “I’m introvert and proud!” motto, this post, oddly enough, was very easy for me to write. Perhaps because I know so many extroverts, some are even my friends, it was easy for me to pinpoint some of their attributes that I wish I had. Now, don’t get me wrong. [...]

A few days ago, I attended our alumni homecoming dinner. I had a pretty good time. And since I’ve worked at my school right after graduation, I was particularly happy to see my coworkers who also happened to be my very good friends. Eventually, I got asked about what I did for a living, and [...]

3 Reasons Why I Love Being an Introvert who Makes a Living Writing

Glori Surban — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 06:19:00 +0000

I’ve been quite busy lately. It’s a good kind of busy because it’s work. Research and writing have been the bulk of my work so I spent a lot of time in front of the computer during the past few weeks. I probably only went out to watch a few movies and then went right [...]

Hacking Some Peace and Quiet – 5 Simple Ways to Carve Out Alone Time Using Technology

Glori Surban — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 00:25:00 +0000

Modern technology is a double-edged sword. It can help you in creating more spare time, or it can consume all the extra time you have. Futurists, decades ago, predicted our modern times to look quite different than they actually are. They envisioned that technological advancements would free up our time to be spent as we [...]

Introvert Myth: Dark Knight Rises Shooting and Introverted Killers?

Glori Surban — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 04:54:00 +0000

My parents and I watched “The Dark Knight Rises” last Friday, July 20, 2012. I had fun watching it and I was my usual movie buff self all throughout the film, much to the annoyance of my mom. I’m one of those who keep on guessing what’s going to happen next, so I was pretty [...]

7 Quiet Ways to Say I Love You

Glori Surban — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 04:01:00 +0000

Ahhh LOVE. That crazy, inexplicable, happy feeling of butterflies (or bullfrogs) in your stomach accompanied with sleepless nights and blank stares. Or at least that’s what people tell me. LOL. Anyway, romantic love isn’t the only kind of love in my book, and hopefully, yours too. Love for our family and friends should also be on top [...]
