My 2019 in a nutshell

It's the most wonderful time of the year, they said.




Counting the days before 2019 ends, I am blessed to have a loving family and friends, a stable career, and some new achievements. Besides, there are some new places that I visited, some new things to discover, and some new lessons to learn. 

I had two new tattoos, attended a beach wedding, ordered make-up and beauty products through Instagram, had my left ear pierced but failed to heal, had a gel manicure for the first time, bought ten pieces of nail polish at once, bought my first pair of Nike shoes, visited a museum full of desserts for the first time, and attended the graduation ceremony wearing only 4-inch heels. 

I also experienced some of the most unforgettable moments in my life - having an overnight reunion with my family and relatives, meeting my favorite senator for the fifth time, got my TESOL 1 certificate, and finished my Master's degree at the age of 23. 

It was a year full of ups and downs. A roller-coaster ride, to be exact. There are times that I felt happy, but sometimes, I'm not. There are people that I love the most that have lost. There are some rejections and even a few people who don't accept who I am.

I had explored various music genres, followed new artists and businesses on Instagram, acquired new skills through Youtube, and searched the next places to visit through the Internet. Also, I uploaded eight videos on my official Youtube channel, created my official blog, and wrote seven blog posts here (Yup, this is the eighth blog post). 

Looking forward to the new chapter, I'm going to miss the old memories and moving on to make new ones. I'm going to meet new people and live in a new place, a four-hour-drive away from my hometown. 

2019, you're amazing. Thank you for making my life very special. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

8 Things That I've Learned In 2020

 "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." - Charles Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities" 2020 - A year full of the best and the worst of times. Living in a new location amid the pandemic was not a bed of roses for me and my mom. A few days before placing the entire Luzon under the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), something unexpected happened. One of my uncles was rushed to the hospital due to heavy breathing. Originally, we planned to move on to a new location a few days before my mother's birthday. However, we left Quezon on the tenth day of March - bringing only a few bags full of clothes and other household stuff.  Then, the ECQ happened. During that time, I need to go out in a face mask and wearing a special quarantine pass. Also, the mode of transportation became very limited. Fortunately, there are some stores near my house where I can buy some food and drink. My relatives and the town officials gave me some food and drink for free. Most of a

Mashin Sentai Kiramager: The Super Sentai Series That Made Me Shine

  Sparkling vehicles that can talk, a modest princess from the planet of crystals, and a junior high school student's leadership - there's more than these things that I love from the Super Sentai Series' 44th entry, Mashin Sentai Kiramager. The first time I discovered about that series was the ending credits' dance that unexpectedly showed up on YouTube. Titled "Kiraful Miracle Kiramager", five young individuals dressed in Magiranger-inspired uniforms were dancing onstage. The vocals provided by Takashi Deguchi and the music itself are so lively and dynamic. But that didn't stop there. I researched the show thoroughly and paid close attention to the characters and the plot. My curiosity pushed me to watch all the 45 episodes and some movies, as well as to listen to their songs and background music.  Well, to be honest with you, I felt sick and tired of doing the same old stuff in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. I want to explore and do new things to keep
