One of the things that kept me going during this pandemic is watching K-Dramas. I have been a fan of Korean shows for years now, but it was only during the pandemic that I found myself watching these shows to relax and unwind after a long and stressful day. Love in Contract starring Park Minyoung, […]
Binge-watching series (should we still call them TV series if it is not technically on TV?) has been the norm for me lately. I tend to watch them in the mornings when I work out. I have been watching Netflix often lately, which is how I recently discovered the Korean drama Partners for Justice. It […]
After a long wait, I was happy when Netflix released the series that I have been waiting for, Shadow & Bone. From the time that casting was announced to when it was released was too long a wait but it was worth it! As someone who read the books by Leigh Bardugo, I felt that […]
Tiktok may be an app that I have yet to understand completely but it can be useful for some things. I saw a scene from a Chinese drama there and I decided to search for it online. Turns out the drama was a remake of the Taiwanese drama Fated to Love You. You are My […]
As a podcaster, I know I should probably be listening to more podcasts to find out what is popular, what is good, and what we should not be doing for the Fandesals Podcast. However, I only listen to a select few because I do not have that much time to do so. I appreciate those […]
Disney+ has so many of my old favorites, I didn’t know where to start when I first subscribed. I was a bit hesitant to re-watch this old series again after all this time because it lasted for 13 seasons, with most seasons having 22 episodes each. But, as someone who loved this enough to have […]
We all live in the age of social media. These days we share things online and with the rest of the world that we normally would not have done in the past. We document our lives in a way that we never have in the past. Image by Marie from Pixabay I was watching a […]
In the early years of Korean dramas making their way to the Philippines, one of the series that I completely fell in love with was the show First Shop of Coffee Prince, aka Coffee Prince. Starring Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo, it was a love story that revolved around a coffee shop where the […]
This month marks another year since my father died. Even after all this time, his passing still feels like it happened yesterday. The events of that day and the weeks after that felt like a huge blur, like a dream that you faintly remember once you wake up. You cannot remember the details, but you […]

This 2022, we are going on our third year in this global pandemic. So much has changed, but so much has stayed the same. We now have vaccines, and there is now more positive news about medication that can be given to treat those who are infected. However, there are new variants that keep popping […]
One of the things that I appreciate about my life here in the province, especially in our neck of the woods, is that we can take long walks. Sure, you can do that in any part of the country, but where I’m from, I can do it without worrying about pollution, traffic, or getting mugged/robbed […]
I’ve always been the type of person who has concern for the environment. I’m the person who fusses if someone in the car wants to throw trash outside the window or if someone wants to throw those toll receipts while in a running vehicle. I fuss over people who burn their trash (to the point […]
It’s been a while since my last post. As much as I wanted to post more often, life happens, and sometimes there just isn’t any time for this anymore. Here’s a quick update of what I’ve been up to this past month: At the Rural Health Center where I got my vaccine… I got vaccinated! […]
