Random Question: If you had to move to another country, where would you move?

If you had to move to another country, where would you move?





I would like to move to Japan. I do believe that every country has its pros and cons but Japan has been my dream country every since I was a child. I used to receive balikbayan boxes filled with chocolates, coloring materials, clothes, and my favorite Japanese cup ramen! I always dreamed of living in a country with four different seasons. 

Another question that I always love to answer: Where in Japan? 


I consider myself both a country girl and a city girl. I want a place where I could enjoy fast internet speed, accessible places, safe and modern residence and at the same time, enjoy the picturesque view of mountains, gardens, temples, shrines with peace and serenity. I actually listed at least places where I could see myself living.

Kyoto is well known for its very traditional scenery of temples and shrines. Fukuoka is also known for its Canal City, where I could at least get the feeling of being in Ghibli animation setting. As for Ishikawa, this is quite special. 

I first heard of Ishikawa from a Japanese morning drama or as what they call "Asadora". Each episode lasts for only 15 minutes and the series could gather up to more than a hundred episodes. The asadora titled "Mare" is about a girl who doesn't have dreams and continues to live her life as a normal city employee.

I don't want to spoil the story so I will stop there. Let's just say that "Mare" made me dream and became more interested in Japanese culture. 

Thank you for reading!

A Night at Bacolod's Baywalk

  I finally got the chance to visit Baywalk after many years. The last time I came here was in summer 2016 and back then it looked like it was a deserted place where nothing but parked cars and old tires piled up in the middle of the empty space. The lights weren't bright either, though, the security was available. This year, 2023, I decided to have a spontaneous night drive with my father and younger siblings. Our main problem was we didn't have money to pay for the entrance fee which costs PHP 20.00, but I was glad I received gift money from my aunt last Christmas and had been keeping it for this day. I actually expected a lot after they reopened it because I heard many of my friends who went to visit Baywalk, they said it was great.  But I was a bit disappointed. Nothing is new except for the illuminated displays in the place. For someone who has been a common visitor back in 2016, the place somehow felt much safer compared to how it was years ago.  The place was actua...

A New Blog for My Stories!

-
I first started reading fan fictions when I was in high school and I was captivated by the limitless scenarios one could imagine for a character. A lot of people may have a different impression (mostly negative ones) regarding fan fictions, but it does promote creativity to the writer. Sometimes, it is so difficult to find a certain muse or a model to base your characters with, especially with names, that I always end up using my favorite celebrities names to keep the story going.  Some fan fictions may include a lot of sexual stuff, but there are so many writers who aren't fond of it. Instead, they write fan fictions to express themselves, to inspire others and even to investigate a crime scene through the story. I personally tell that I am into teenage angst and romance kind of stories which tells the untold. Anyway, I'd just like to share my new blog here. I am currently working on a story feel free to check 'Writer's Notice' there. New Blog Here:  https://fanfi...

Bacolod City on January 1st

A few years ago, I used to visit my relatives on New Year's Day but things have changed since then.  I am not sure if it is just me or it is a part of growing up where you focus more on yourself more than other things.  I focused on spending time with my dad and my younger siblings. We decided to have a night drive with a tricycle around the downtown area.  We first dropped by Bacolod City Plaza where it was filled with illumination. It seemed that I should have gone when it was newly decorated because the lights would have been complete. When I came there, almost half of the illumination were broken.  It still pretty, I must say. I enjoyed strolling.
