Online concerts are on the rise in the music scene due to the limitations and restrictions brought to us by COVID-19. This has become an advantage for someone like me who lives out of my fave artist's radar.
Is there a standard when it comes to online concerts? I don't think there is, although I know the kpop scene (Hello BTS!) has raised the fans' expectations.
How's post-quarantine life doing? Are you getting adjusted to the new normal? I'm starting to get crazy bored. I got to keep a routine thanks to being able to work from home.
Here are some of the series that kept me sane during the quarantine period.
What's the best way to collect memories other than collecting pictures?
I have always wanted an Instax camera way back when it became popular, but the price of the films have always set me back. It was only last year that I have decided I will get an Instax camera for myself and start getting into instant photography and scrapbooking!
It has almost been three months since my last Cebu trip. I have been busy with work and life and other stuff and so I wasn't able to share highlights of that trip.
It's no secret that getting the Starbucks planner has been my yearly tradition. So, when December kicked in and I don't have my planner yet, I thought 2019 will finally be the year I will break traditions.
The Philippines is a country with rich and colorful history. The country may seem too "Americanized" in modern times, yet traces of the Spanish era is still evident in the country's language, food, culture, even in architecture. That is not too surprising since the Philippines was under the Spanish rule for three centuries. That said, it is not uncommon then to see houses from the Spanish era in one town or the other. But seeing those houses standing side by side along the cobblestone roads where kalesas pass by, that is something else.
Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar (or Houses in the Philippines by Acuzar) takes you back in time, to the 18th century when the country was still under the Spanish rule. Inside the 400-hectare resort are roughly around 60 casas. Most of the houses are made from the original materials, built plank by plank and column by column. Other structures, however, are only replicas as the original ones were destroyed during wartime.
"Anong makikita mo dun?"
(What would you see there?)
"Wala kang mapupuntahan dun."
(There's nothing to visit there.)
"Mas maganda pumunta sa [insert some other country here]"
(It's actually better to visit [insert some other country here])
Those are just some of the things I hear from people whenever I tell them I want to go to Taiwan. True, it wasn't only until recently I realized Taiwan has a lot to offer other than fangirling.
