Casually hoping I am not too late but hey, Happy New Year!! 2020 came rushing like a meteorite shocking everyone with its head on impact. As if a year was compressed to a month and it literally was just the first of the new year. I guess I need not to enumerate as a list of the events have been …
I live in a country where everybody wants respect so much to give it
Today is May 14, 2019. Weeks prior, I so wanted to have a manicure but since I had to make way for a more important color to touch my fingernail, it might have to take another week or so. Until it disappears naturally, I can only wait. Because not a nail polish, but a sign to avoid electoral fraud, a …

Far but not alone
Five months back, I was this plain Manila girl struggling with everyday Ortigas Extension traffic congestion —yes, apparently, traffic was the biggest problem for me back then. So along with a handful of worries from personal life to work, I prepared myself to step on a huge adventure, to bid goodbye to my comfort zone and to explore a totally …

Ohisashiburi!
I haven’t written in ages since arriving here in Japan so “Ohisashiburi!” It is a Japanese phrase meaning “Long time no see,” in English. Or should I say, “Gobusatadesu!” It means, “Sorry I haven’t written to you for a long time.” But I am no Nihongo sensei so let us stop at that. Now what to say, I am writing …
Facebook On this day realizations
Facebook’s “On this day” feature can actually be a worth-scanning through at times. My cosplay from a year ago was the featured memory today. Curious because it was a cosplay convention that I enjoyed, I decided to check more throwback posts. I did find a few cosplay-related ones but one off-cosplay status of mine of the same memory lane stood …
My 2017’s first 31 days
I couldn’t believe January passed by just like that. And February felt rushing into something as well now. Next thing we know, we’re putting up Christmas decorations once again. But for now, I want to savor the fresh feeling of a new beginning. How I wish, I have the power to control time — to slow it down when I …
Good-bye, March!
As mentioned on previous post, I just turned 20 this month. Actually, just 4 days ago and I have learned a lot of things during my birthday month that I feel like posting about those. But let’s talk about March in general for now. I have always been excited for my birthday and this month coming in made me even …
I just turned 20!
Yes. With all the drama and heartaches, I became a year older again. My birthday this year felt quite different. I don’t know but deep inside me, a feeling of having to act maturely takes place. It’s funny how often it strikes me. Even while washing the dishes or preparing the pasta for the spaghetti. I feel it. I have …
Giving Back
Admit it or not, we always want to receive something for Christmas. May it be simple material gifts or the intangible things that can only be felt by the heart. This Christmas, I tried my very best to save money and buy three of the most helpful friends I have and luckily, I was able to. Jeynee, a high school …
