Hi there! My real name is Jek, my nickname is Jekert. It’s longer because my name is too short. I am living in the Philippines, was born and raised in an island called Cebu, and then moved to Manila for work in a multinational company as a Finance & Accounting person for over 10 years now!
I’ve been blogging since 2004, moved platforms several times (from LiveJournal, Multiply, Tumblr, Blogger, WordPress – name it, I’ve probably tried it). My blog is mainly about my daily life, thoughts that are either too long or too personal for Twitter/Instagram stories, travels, and really just about anything that interests me (but mostly Japanese stuff as a self-proclaimed Japanophile). I like taking photos and I have more than 200,000 in my archives that date from 2005 (which I will post about under #Throwback in this blog). I am also trying to lose some weight (used to do Keto, now just struggling to get back in shape), and I try to live a minimalist lifestyle (but also failing at it).
To be honest, social media killed my passion for blogging the past 10 years so as I try to stay off social media, I decided to go back to blogging a bit more regularly.
If you happened to stumble upon this space on the Internet, I welcome you firstly, and do let me know by leaving a comment. It’s nice to have someone to talk to, even if it’s virtual! If you have your own blog as well, I’d be happy to check it out and link you as a mutual! Hope you find something interesting here! 🙂
