Hello...? Mic test... 1... 2...

 So yeeeeeeeah... I'm alive. Would love to say that I'm kicking but it's been 4 years since my last blog post and as you may have assumed by now, I got too old to even kick anything bigger than my hand. God damn, I didn't expect to survive that pandemic somehow but here we are. Anyway, I do hope I can manage to update my blog more often now than how it was previously. But don't expect too much. Work and life don't balance well these days, with the former always winning somehow, thus I really have to focus on topics to write if I do decide to bring life to this blog again. For now, let me just post this update and I'll work on a review or a life update again on the next one. Toodaloo!

How a virus may not kill you but you die anyway

You know, the pandemic affected me more than I care to admit. I’ve always been aware that I may have a problem mentally but I think the prolonged time spent indoors might have really set it off. I may be binge watching shows on my phone, doing usual chores, or answering work emails and inquiries but the feeling of dread and anxiousness never left my side and have steadily kept me company for the whole of 3 months.  Now that I think about it though, it may have started 5 years ago when I was struggling to look for a stable job and the pressure of not being able to do so had finally opened my 25-year-old mind to the horrible reality of adulthood. Since then, I clamored for things to keep me from pondering over my failures and eventual lame death. I was only 25 and my biggest fear was dropping dead any moment, not given any chance to properly live the rest of my life before that. I also began to fear the future, of my aging parents and how I still heavily depend on them to survive. B

The Last 30 Days of this World

Just a few more days left and it'd be exactly 3 years since my last blog post. A bit of a surprise, eh? Nope, I pretty much have all the time in the world at the moment because of the current state of the world. And I feel compelled to write about it as a human being alive during this time. If you've been on my blog before and read my past entries, you might be wondering (or not) what I did for the last 3 years. I would love to talk about that too but for now, let's talk about a very important situation I and the rest of humanity is facing right now. For a future reader of this blog post, at the start of this year 2020, humans have began battling a pandemic called COVID-19 previously named novel coronovirus since it's a type of corona virus which has never been seen before. As of this writing, it has already killed thousands of people (mostly elderly) around the world and has infected over a million people across the globe in just a matter of months. (source: WHO)

2017 One K Global Peace Concert in Manila - March 2, 2017

After more than a year of once again neglecting my blog, I will now be sharing my experience during the 2017 One K Global Peace Concert held last March 2, 2017 at the SM Moa Arena. To tell you guys honestly, watching the concert was already way out of my budget and thus I was actually planning to forego watching it if not for my really good friend, Mayam, who made me a ticket offer I cannot possibly resist. If you're reading this, thank you so much bb. :) Anyway, since I've already deluded my brain into the deep abyss of disappointment because I believed I will be letting yet another K-pop concert go without showing up, I was completely thrilled to have been given the chance to see one of my favorite idol groups and a whole lot of really famous idols including 'global phenomenon' PSY. Let me share the official concert poster image below so you'll have an idea of who we saw that night: All rights belong to their rightful owners YES! I was once again grace

One Ok Rock 35XXXV Asia Tour in Manila - January 19, 2016

Needless to say I had the BEST night of my life! I've been a casual fan of this Japanese rock band since 2014 and I was just so thrilled to first hear the news of them doing a concert here back in September! Watching the concert made me a believer, heh! Let me share the official poster below: All rights belong to the owner of this poster Gaining my way to a ticket in the lowerbox section was a freaking story. I was literally flipping out back then because I still had my South Korea trip in October to spend my money on and almost no money left after. Aside from that, I even resigned from work in December but thankfully, my bank savings were already set so I was finally able to buy a ticket. at almost the last minute. pic taken by me :D And of course, the fateful night arrived! A sea of black people waited outside the SM Mall of Asia Arena (slapping my forehead because I didn't take any picture of it) and among them is me! I didn't think it was possible. I'm

Manga Review - First Girl by Saitou Chiho

Told you I wasn't totally lazy these past few days, haha! Here's one of the mangas I read over the holidays entitled First Girl by Saitou Chiho. Let me just say one thing before I delve further, once you read it make sure you are free to finish it because it won't let you do anything else. Yep, it's captivating and the storyline is just the right combination of scandalous and morally defiant. All 18 chapters are sure to satisfy your reading bugs. It's quite an old manga though published from 2002 to 2003 in five volumes. linked image credit to owner As always, a summary to tease your attention: Satsuki Miu, was a seventeen year old girl sold to Leon Rosas, a rich son of a South American family, by her tango dancer of a mother to pay off debt. She was then brought to Leon's home country with marriage arrangements in place and where Leon was able to win her heart. While there though, a rebellious activity have threatened the family which resulted

On Holidays and Job Hunting

I'm back! And yes, as the title suggests I wasn't able to post much due to the holiday season. T'was a really fun time for me and my family though relatively quieter and less busy than last year's. Nevertheless, I'm still quite thankful that we are yet able to go through another year together no matter the obstacles that came our way. Anyhow, I'm quite in the mood to post about things tonight as I wasn't able to for the last few days. To start of, let me just say congratulations to the recent crowning of our very own Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach as Miss Universe 2015. So proud of you girl! And yes, that gave away my nationality didn't it? Haha, one proud Filipina here ya'll! :) So every happy occasion aside, downside of the ending holiday season is that I'm going to have to face the fact that I'm still utterly jobless and looking for a job this time around is quite more difficult than the last few ones. Yes, I'm what you may call a job-hopper
