On switching and loving local

I’ve always been a ballerines (French word for ballet flats) kind of gal. I just love its classic look and comfy style.  Since I started working in my early twenties, that’s almost 2 decades by now, I’ve probably bought and worn (almost) a hundred pairs of ballerines. No, I am not kidding, you’ve read it…

The Perfect Combo for me ♥♥

♥♥ Milk tea with pearls. White tee and denim jeans. Coffee with sweets. These are some of the perfect combos for me. And while I was on blogging-hiatus for more than 8 months (my apologies…), I was discovering and embracing another Perfect Combo for my life (as well as enjoying my new role as a…

“me time” essentials

The ABCs of my “me time” essentials include: Good: Ambiance  Book  Coffee ️ On this particular day, I managed to squeeze in some “me time.” I actually wanted to make it a regular part of my schedule, maybe once a month, one Saturday or one Sunday when I will spend it somewhere, just reading, chilling, writing my…

Summer Special (Last Part)

When I travel, I usually pack my clothes on the day of departure because I didn’t want my clothes to crumple (too much). I think this is okay for short trips, but not for 2 or 3 week trip. I tried to do that for my 3-week Europe trip, and it was not good, it’s…

Summer Special (Part 3)

Big. Enormous. Gigantic. Elaborate. Intricate. Beyond lavish. These are just some descriptions I have for Grand Palace. It is very true to its name, grand is actually an understatement. I’ve traveled quite a bit and have seen quite a lot but it still blows my mind each time I see such elaborate, intricate, gigantic edifice…

Summer Special… (Part 1)

I’ve been blessed with another short yet definitely sweet and super fun trip this April. It’s a blessing because my favorite sister Kris, I only have one :), and favorite brother-in-law Carlo gifted me with a flight ticket to Bangkok. 🙂 Thank you so much, you’re the best sister and brother to me! 😀 Thanks…

knowing oneself

Lately there are lots of templates on Instagram where you will answer questions about yourself, it’s like an online version of the good old slambook! 🙂 I first saw it from my dear friend Gillian’s IG stories so I downloaded some of the templates from TheSundayChapter IG and answered them. Sharing some here: Having been able…

Short can be sweet…

… so sweet ♥♥♥ Yes, a short vacation is always sweet when you are with your lovely family and/or friends. 🙂 It’s the first day of November (hello, beautiful November!) as of this writing, it’s a holiday so I had time to write and hopefully wrap up my posts about our Busan trip. 😉 Let me…

Inventory is the Key

Traveling usually gives a person the license to shop, it just happens that way. As a continuation to my previous post, I thought of doing a quick inventory of the things which I have right now, the things which I think I might get tempted to buy in Korea. I know I need to do…

Just the right amount is best…

Just the right amount is best… This is the translation of a phrase / Swedish proverb “lagom är bäst” which I recently came across through this article Forget Hygge: 2017 Will Be All About Lagom. “Lagom” – very seldom, that I fell for a word, and this is one of the very rare occasions that I instantly got…
