Stop trying and start doing

It’s the end of a fiscal year at work, and I’m also nearing the end of another year in this world. July to me is like New Year’s – I feel inspired to change, to start something new, to become better. The same goes for this blog, which I have obviously been neglecting for how […]

2019.04.02 – A day in the life

I’ve purposely entitled this site as “Boku no Nichijou” which (roughly) translates to My Ordinary Life, inspired by the anime Nichijou. Unlike the anime, though, my ordinary life isn’t as fun – there’s barely anything worth sharing. The goal is to do something interesting that’s worth talking about, but for today, I will lay out […]

2019.04.01 – Happy April Fool’s!

Alright, let’s do this. I want to get back to daily blogging again, even if my posts don’t make any sense on most days – because really, my life is not as exciting as I want it to be. As an office worker, my routine is all about waking up to go to work, and […]

Lazy Saturday Galbitang

I haven’t had a free Saturday in a while (where I wasn’t nursing a hangover). My plan was to wake up early, clean the house and maybe get back to studying – but I overslept and woke up past noon. I normally browse through YouTube on my phone when I don’t want to get up […]

February 2019 Rundown

Because I am truly failing at making this a daily blog, here’s a rundown of my highlights for the month of February. 1st week The first week of February was busy but fun. Our manager who is based in the US was here for a business trip and while our days were packed with meetings […]

2019 Resolutions

I’m at the airport right now, waiting for my flight back to Manila, for my reality to start again after the long break over Christmas. I purposely left the house early (4 hours before my flight) because I didn’t want to rush so that gave me time to reflect on the things I want to […]

Dear 2018

Dear 2018, As with all of the other things in my life, I’ve been putting off this letter to you to the last minute (technically, the last 2 and a half hours left of you) because I wanted to think things through thoroughly. In the end, I have nothing grand or dramatic to write, not […]

Still Here

Hey guys, I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I’m still alive. I haven’t posted for a couple of months now and I don’t have a valid excuse other than I’ve just been lazy – but I’ll try to make the most out of the holiday break to catch […]

2018.10.05 – The Thrill of It All World Tour 2018 Manila

I finally got to see Sam Smith live at the Manila leg of “The Thrill of It All World Tour” at the SM Mall of Asia Arena! I remember regretting not buying tickets for his first concert here three years back. His album “In the Lonely Hour” was our soundtrack when playing mahjong back in […]

2018.09.25 – 今 – Manila-bound

Today was my last day in Cebu. My Manila-bound flight was at 10PM, but I had to meet up with Darl’s and Daisy for dinner so I left home early. I ended work at around 4:30PM and started packing my things. We were going to eat at a Korean restaurant near the airport called Da […]
