Under the weather

While summer has just recently started for the rest of the world, it’s done for the Philippines. We’ve had no sun for the past two weeks. It’s been raining non-stop, with crazy thunderstorms every other day. I love the rain – I am a rain person, and I like the cooler temperature that goes along […]

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 […]

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 […]

2018.09.24 – コーヒー – WFH / Starbucks

Monday is WFH day. I woke up early after having slept almost the entire day yesterday. I did all of my morning meetings at home, and planned to work from a coffee shop after lunch because the heat was unbearable. My new favorite coffee shop is Starbucks because they serve Breve Latte (Keto-friendly) and I […]

2018.09.23 – 暇 – Restful Sunday

I did not do anything the entire Sunday, other than just rest. I originally planned to go to Dalaguete but I changed my mind when my younger sister told me she isn’t going. Since I was still so tired from all of the activities and night outs the past few days, I decided to just […]

Ramen at Ikkousha But first, I went out with my sister and Joyce for lunch. They told me they wanted to try Cebu’s best ramen, […]
