BLOG: Cake or Death?

Posted on December 21, 2025December 21, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Not the best day today. My cat back home in the States fell sick and passed away last night. I am heartbroken. I spent an hour on the phone with my brother earlier just crying my eyes out. Then I forced myself to leave the apartment after spending two...Read More

BLOG: Hello, Mr. Antony

Posted on December 18, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Friday morning. Trying to get things done but lacking motivation. All I want to do is curl up in bed and stay in the safety of my cave all day and all night. It’s not ideal, but at least I’m not spending any time haunting any local bars. Progress has...Read More

BLOG: Hot Pot Comfort

Posted on December 18, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. It’s Emily in Paris day. My plan for the day is to be ultra boring and binge watch Season 5 while doing laundry. I know, I need to start getting out of the house more, but it’s just… hard to do on my own. I did go out with...Read More

BLOG: Locked Out

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Just wanted to take a moment to sit down and read Facebook the fucking riot act. They’ve locked me out of my account in spite of me providing them two forms of ID as proof of who I am and where I am living. I have complained to them...Read More

BLOG: Highlight Reel

Posted on December 14, 2025December 14, 2025 by Betsey Horton

They asked me for a “highlight reel” of my experiences abroad so far. I guess if I had to make one, it would look something like… That one time when… ⭐️ I almost became a BJP Mafia Wife in India. Thankfully, it did not work out. He left me in...Read More

BLOG: Midnight Rodeo

Posted on December 13, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday morning. Out on the rooftop garden. Interesting weekend, sort of. I am not sure what to make of it. On Friday night, I took myself out for NYC-style pizza and one of the better Happy Hour deals. Then I got bored, so I went on Tinder to find some...Read More

SCRIPT: Irish Muse

Posted on December 12, 2025December 12, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Betsey is sitting at her computer, typing away, when suddenly a carrier pigeon knocks on her window. Attached to its leg is a little piece of paper rolled up into a scroll. She opens the window, takes the message from the pigeon and opens it up. MESSAGE: You. Me. The...Read More

BLOG: Do You Believe in Magic?

Posted on December 10, 2025December 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. How do I feel today? Well, I had a strange dream featuring an eel, which according to Google is some kind of dick metaphor. Makes sense. And then I woke up with the song “Do You Believe in Magic?” stuck in my head. Yes I do, actually. Yes I...Read More

BLOG: Irish Wish

Posted on December 10, 2025December 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Okay. So, What? On today’s episode of Betsey Discovers Her Irish Heritage, we chose to watch the movie Irish Wish featuring one of our favourite millennial actresses, Lindsay Lohan. Love to see her making a comeback after her epic crash out. Let’s just say… I can relate. What did I...Read More

BLOG: The Creeping Creeper

Posted on December 8, 2025December 9, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. The days run so long here. It’s strange how time passes differently in different places. In Thailand, the days seemed to just drag by, then suddenly three weeks would be gone. Just like that. Spent the day yesterday scrolling through LinkedIn tying to figure out a strategy for my...Read More
