YEAR IN REVIEW: 2021

Many things happened this year. Especially to me, with the pandemic, with career, also my relationship with my friends and family-- this year was totally a roller coaster ride. Although, I would say that this year was my happiest year during this pandemic. I tried a lot of new stuff with my friends, and went to food places that we have never...

PAL

It was a cold starry night celebrating New Year's at our residence. My family and I had a great dinner, and did rituals like any other Asian family do during the New Year's. As I call it a day, I decided to offer a prayer for the year ahead. I prayed for a better year for all of us, for the pandemic to...

LAST YEAR...

August 30th 2019 was a sunny afternoon. I woke up with the sun beaming on my face. I grabbed my phone and scrolled trough my SNS like I always do to see what’s on the news, and check out what my friends are up to. I scrolled through ig and saw one of my friend’s post. It was an Ad from this big...

DALGONA COFFEE

**picture not mine** Dalgona Coffee is made from instant coffee, sugar, and milk. This drink originated from South Korea, and started trending due to social distancing during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I was going to use my own pictures for this blog post, but after tweaking it a few times I have decided not to use it since it is not too pretty to...

YEAR IN REVIEW: 2019

I used to view life with rose coloured glasses on. I started the year happily, and claimed that this was going to be my best year yet. I was focused and continued on with school at ease. It was a very comfortable spring semester for me this year. Summer came, and nothing really special happened during that season. It was just uncomfortably hot,...

In FOOD,

KWEK KWEK

One thing that my cousins and I would make every time I would go back to the Philippines is to make Kwek Kwek. Now, what is Kwek Kwek? These orange balls are like tempuras where they use boiled quail eggs instead of shrimp. Pretty interesting, right? The flavour is very distinct to me especially when you add the spicy vinegar dip to it....

YEAR IN REVIEW: 2018

This 2018, I know that it was not the perfect year for me--- there were loops and holes here and there, but I know for sure that it was a great one. I kicked off 2018 with a bang. I remember the first day that my cousin and our mutual friend were out at a place and hanged out. On the way home,...

8 THINGS I LEARNED FROM 2018

I listed some of the things that I learned from 2018. 1. SLEEP In 2018, I learned the importance of sleep and how it affects the brain as well as the overall immune system. Even though I am used to staying up late, I tried taking several naps throughout the day to refresh my brain as well as my mood. Doing this trick,...

A MIRACLE IN DECEMBER

Finally! I am back with blogging! I have officially ended my fall semester. This blog post will be about my academic struggles for the past few months. The semester started well, the classes went well for the first couple of weeks. Most of my classes were doing good except for one. This teacher in particular was nowhere near to how she teaches compared...

DIY LIGHTSTICK

I saw this one viral video on Twitter where a boy made a 'fanlight' or a 'light stick' for Kuya Will. The video clip was so funny, and it inspired me to make one the next day. All of the materials used in this blogpost was bought with my own money mainly for this post unless otherwise noted. YOU WILL NEED: 1. 2...

LET'S TALK ABOUT: CRAZY RICH ASIANS

I waited for this film for months since I knew that they are going to make a movie out of the book. I was aware of the book for a couple of years, but never got the chance to read it. I am not really a book type of person, I am more of a movie person. Okay, before I get to this...

What's new aye? Anyway, I just want to share how this year's summer went for me. Summer for me started on the last week of May because finals were on...

HAPPINESS DELIGHT | 01

Good day! I am going to start this new "segment" I guess on my blog to list my current favourite things in life that make me happy. Recently, I saw a video that it is important to appreciate little things in life. The woman basically said that she gets excited on small things such as going to the grocery and shop for the food...

GROWING UP ASIAN IN AMERICA | TAG

Hi, my name is RJ and I am Filipino. I will be doing this tag since the month of May is 'Asian Pacific American Heritage Month'. This is the question that I would always ask myself, Am I Asian-American? I used to ask my friends if they are Asian-American, and they would answer me that yes they are Asian-American. But the thing is-- both...

WHY I LOVE MY PLANNER

It is safe to say that 2017 was quite a tough year for me. My life was unorganised, and was all over the place. Before 2017 ended, I decided to look up planners that could possibly put myself together lol. I reviewed so much planners until I stumbled upon Passion Planner! This planner was exactly what I was looking for. My idea was...
