Baler – known for its waves and as one of the 3 top surfing sites in Luzon (coming from a non-surfer) – was our destination for last weekend’s quick road trip. Hannah came to visit us from Cebu and it has been a while since she’s visited Manila. She wanted to go on a road […]
After having lived in the metro for 11 years now, I’ve never really paid attention to its only amusement park – Star City. I have been to Enchanted Kingdom, which I always thought of as our country’s only decent amusement park, although still not comparable to the Disneylands or Universal Studios of other countries. It […]
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 […]
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 […]

So, on our third day, we met a new friend and spent one full day in Kyoto. Meet Jun! Just kidding – we did meet a new friend named Jun. He is Mhealler’s former workmate from when he was working back for a law firm. He was our tour guide for the day, and we […]
I have been following Marie Kondo (KonMari) on Instagram since I started out my minimalism journey a year ago. She has published two best-selling books entitled The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy. I loved her idea of decluttering – thanking the things that have served you one way or another, before […]
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, 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 […]
