    38th | And my August Pt. 2

    So after spending a week in London, off to Paris we go. We took the Eurostar to Paris, just 2 hours train from London. This was actually near Kings Cross Station, where platform 9 3/4 is but we did not have the time to visit the place. Maybe next time. Day 1 We met up…

    38th | And my August Pt. 1

    Here we are again, late in posting as usual. I have to get back to my habit of writing for sure. This year’s August was memorable. Marks the first time I get away since being locked down by a global pandemic (that just had to happen in my lifetime!) almost 3 years ago. But first,…

  • The Day Everything Changed

    The Day Everything Changed

    One full year isolated from friends and loved ones. One full year out of work, out of school. One full year of faces hidden behind a collection of masks. One full year of life as we know it, thrown into complete disarray. Exactly a year ago when the world went into a standstill, locked down…

    36th | Life on Pause

    I had my whole year planned before this pandemia broke out. I was going to South Korea with my girls to set crawl all the Kdrama locations we’ve watched, we had a long list and even rented a traditional Korean House (Hanok) to level up the feels, was also contemplating on extending my stay to…

    35th | Middle Earth

    Photo set | Northern Island, New Zealand I stopped celebrating my birthdays when I turned 20 for silly reasons most people wouldn’t really understand. Not that interesting so don’t be curious.

    First of Summer | Boracay 2019

    Photo set | Boracay Island This world-renowned tourist destination was closed last April of 2018 for rehabilitation due to irresponsible tourism and reopened on October of 2018, 6 months after, accompanied with lots of drainage constructions, demolished establishments and investment restrictions. Side trip from work and even if I was feeling sick, I decided to…

  • Ode to Sunrise

    Ode to Sunrise

    Life is full of sporadic facades and intermittent moments, bits and pieces tattered with every flip of a page. And sometimes the struggles forge you into this impetuous cynic, averted by the water that you keep to hydrate. They leave you shriveled, bare and almost dying. Almost. – I cannot even begin to describe the…
