    i’ve been hit by the hallyu fever

    and I can’t get up. (I blame The Heirs for the storm that followed). A couple of weeks ago, I caught a scene of The Heirs on a local TV channel (it was a Filipino-dubbed version). I can’t remember the exact scene anymore, but I remember finding it outrageously dramatic or something. And given all the free time I…

      xxx Happy birthday again to my cousin! And thanks for the whole day treat. It was awesome. I have so many other blog posts planned out, but somehow this came out first. And a belated greeting: have a happy Chinese New Year! Follow me on Instagram! ( x )

  • five-minute word vomit

    i haven’t been writing much lately, for plenty of reasons. to be specific: – our thesis. i’m not doing as much as viv (viv is an actual saint), but i think i’ve done more than my fair share of anxiety attacks – my ridiculous ~love~ life, which i can’t even articulate to my tumblr blog,…

I found my time occupied by new and old friends I somehow managed to not…

  • five-minute word vomit

    Crafts: DIY Wired Flower Crown

    Prepare yourself for the most unhelpful do-it-yourself blog post ever! Just kidding. Note: This DIY post is for the resourceful and for the impulsive. I wasn’t really planning to do a flower crown last Saturday night, but I ended up making one for no reason at all (???). And since I didn’t exactly prepare for…
