Taking pictures is something that interested me since I was a child. My father used to have cameras that fascinated me when he brought them out to take pictures of the family and anything that he found interesting. I still remember the equipment that he had: the camera, the lenses (he even had a huge […]
This past week has been exhausting for me. For the past week, I have been waking up several times at night and struggle with getting back to sleep. Eventually, sometime very early in the morning, I end up awake without the possibility of getting back to sleep again. This has led to days where I […]
The past work week has been busy, despite having a holiday. I wish that there were highlights in the work department, but I think that the high points of my week have always been with family. Since my family is important to me and I don’t enjoy talking about my job that much, that probably […]
Usually, I’m the person who reads the books first then watches the movie or TV show later but this time around, I saw the TV show first. When I heard that there was a series called Famous in Love that you can watch online, I downloaded a VPN app and watched the pilot. After that, […]
The thing about being in my 40s is that I tend to look back on the past decades of my life and wonder why I haven’t done enough with it. There’s so much I wanted to do that I’ve never done. No regrets though, since now that I am older some things do not seem […]
My family is a coffee-drinking family. We do our tea thing from time to time, but coffee is our morning drink. I remember family friends being surprised when I had looked for coffee for breakfast one morning when we were all together on vacation (I was probably around 10 at the time). They could not […]
I have been a follower of Chrissy Teigen on social media because of her old blog, the one where she shared a lot of her recipes. This was before she came out with her cookbooks. She still has a blog today but it is under the name of her brand, Cravings by Chrissy Teigen. Last […]
As many may be aware by now, I have been converted and I am now a big fan of Korean group BTS. Yes, I am now part of the BTS Army. While I am what my niece calls a fan of OT7 (all 7 of the guys), I also have my bias (favorite — ah […]
Growing up, I was exposed to different types of music. Because of that, I tend to have favorites in almost every genre (well, maybe except death metal). But one thing that I tend to have a preference for that most of the people in my family do not really care for are old songs. It […]
My family loves to sing. We all got it from our father who always loved to sing and encouraged us to do the same. When I was a little girl, I remember we even had what they called a minus-one/karaoke machine where we could sing our favorite songs from a cassette tape and that you […]
Back in the day, I used to love smiling. These days, I do smile, but in photos, I rarely do now. It is not that I am not happy, but it is more of me being more conscious of what I look like when I smile these days. Image by Giulia Marotta from Pixabay It […]
In a recent post, I shared that it is now my 20th year at my recent job. Given my age, most people would probably think that this is the only job that I’ve had since I graduated from college, but that is not the case. I have tried several other jobs before I settled into […]
This year marks my 20th year at my current job. I work for a public utility company, specifically in the water industry. If you asked me on my first day at the office if I saw myself here twenty years from now I would have said no. I can’t believe I am still here, to […]
What’s better than two versions of Vanessa Hudgens in a Christmas movie? Apparently, if you ask Netflix, the answer would be to have three. Their latest movie, a sequel to Princess Switch, has Vanessa Hudgens playing triple duty as Princess Stacy, Lady Margaret, and Fiona in Princess Switch: Switched Again. The movie starts where the […]
