Life

All “Life” blog posts. This category is already self-explanatory but since I need to fulfill the SEO requirements (the red icon really bothers me) I have to explain that these posts are about my personal life and whatever happens outside of my usual topics. I might posts some sensitive topics here and might use some triggering words but please understand that is what I strongly feel at that time.

↝ I might regret posting these topics in the future but I am sure that it can blow off some steam out of me. I don’t need something to bother me for days, I need an outlet.

Lockdown — Life Update 2

Lockdown in a couple of days huh…

So, in just a couple of days, we’ll be facing another lockdown. It’s surprising how time flies; it has been months since my last post here. To be honest, life has been quite hectic since the end of 2019. Many things have happened, but let’s start with the basics. I’ve decided to change my layout once again, opting for a simpler design, and I hope to stick with it until the end of 2020.

Now, let’s get back to the topic at hand. Around January, my brother handed me the keys to his old apartment. Thankfully, my parents assisted me in thoroughly cleaning the place so I could move in and start living on my own again. So far, it feels similar to when I was in Makati, but without the annoying train horns!

Moving out this November

  • Life

In a couple of weeks, we’ll be moving out from our bustling yet lively neighborhood in Makati to another vibrant area in Ortigas that offers a similar atmosphere.

During the past weekend, I organized the process of moving by pulling out four boxes containing all our belongings, including over 300 video game cartridges. The majority of these cartridges are Famicom games, which adds an exciting touch to our collection. Moving these boxes proved to be quite a challenge, and I found myself wishing my husband were here to assist me. However, he had to prioritize obtaining his license in the US before returning here.

Visiting Seoul — Arcades and Street-food

In early May, my family and I returned to Seoul, South Korea for a week-long visit. This trip was actually a revisit for us, although the original plan to attend a concert was canceled. Undeterred, we rearranged our itinerary to focus on different activities. Jacob, my significant other, was especially excited to explore the game arcades in Seoul, meet up with a friend, and indulge in some delicious street food adventures in Myeongdong.

Despite the early summer forecast, we were surprised by the cool weather in Seoul, reminiscent of early spring, especially in the evenings. This was in contrast to the scorching hot and humid weather we had been experiencing in the Philippines for the past two months.
