My lull-in-the-afternoon saviour. When you open the pack, the aroma of buttered popcorn fills your nostrils. It wakes me up. I’m not a big coffee or soda drinker, so sipping on a mug of Soupy Snax is a great way to get me back on track.
What do you do when you find yourself nodding off in the middle of a workday?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

August 9, 2005 at 1:20 am (19 years ago)Toni, thanks for that script tip below. Gosh, i loved Before Sunset, I gotta watch Before Sunrise!
For my perk me up, i just start blog-hopping and it does the trick. There’s no food that peps me up, and i don’t like caffeine in my system very much. Yeah, i’m doomed during those long meetings, and if they’re phone conference, i pretty much nod everytime! The thing is, my supervisors do too! hahah.

August 9, 2005 at 9:42 am (19 years ago)pinayhekmi : “Before Sunrise” was one of my most life-defining films. I saw it during my angst years (early 20s), and that was roughly how old Jesse and Celine were. And then flash forward ten years, I’m still around their age too. Gah! I can so relate to these 2 movies.
jey : To keep your tummy happy… true true!
tin : Hey you just reminded me that I have milk tea in my drawer. Hahaha thanks!
jojo : My husband likes the Chicken Noodle Twist too!
dexie : Yeah! It’s nice for those cold days!
anicee : I munch on a Milo bar once in awhile too.
