Our Kyoto day trip (don’t even get me started on how we should’ve spent at least 2 days there) started out really exciting, or uh, stressful. We were going on one of Japan’s high-speed trains called “shinkansen”, and therefore had…
Our third day in Tokyo was spent going around Shinjuku and Shibuya yet again, with a bit more emphasis on sightseeing and shopping, though certainly not lacking in good (but relatively cheap) food. We started with a quick breakfast of…
(or Filipino Almond Butter & Lamb Stew) Hey everyone! It’s my first ever recipe-only post, something I’ve planned on starting for so long now but have not had the time (or actually, the inspiration) to do. I thought I’d start…
Our second day in Tokyo was spent eating and shopping, starting with the meager but delicious free breakfast at our hotel, which consisted mostly of various sweet rolls, plain yogurt, and yogurt toppings. We headed over to Shibuya for some…

Hello all! I’ve been MIA again recently as you know, working on uh, wrecking all the hard work I’ve done with last January’s new year’s resolutions by watching Kdramas, re-reading several of my favorite fantasy series (if you’re curious, I’ve…
One of my friends recently asked me what my top 3 Kdramas are, and then today I found a Kdrama soundtrack playlist on Spotify with songs from dramas I’ve never seen. That got me into thinking, what are my top…
Today was a lots-of-cream-and-sugar-in-my-coffee kind of day. This usually follows a dessert-for-dinner kind of night (which I guess is a happy night). Sugar really is my drug. The more I have it, the more I can’t seem to live without…
Our first foray out onto the white beach coming from Shangri-la Boracay, was in search of the most important thing to me in any travel itinerary: good food. This was, I believe, my 4th Boracay visit to date, so I’d…
