      • IdolatoryHere is where I fangirl and write about the people and the things I love/fangirl/adore, etc :)
        • One Piece (Anime)My most favorite anime! My ikigai!!!
        • Hey! Say! JUMPMy most favorite Japanese idol group!
        • SongsAbout the songs I like or the ones I simply know and I want to write about.
      • Today I LearnAbout things that I might have known but been too blind to be aware of and so I realized and thought I finally learned.
        • Self-motivationThis is where I try to motivate myself, and who knows that at the same time it can motivate others too :)
        • Self-ReflectionThis is where I try to reflect on the things I see, read, listen, observe, etc, think about them and see what I can do to improve myself.
      • Tidbits in LifeHere’s where I write about what happened or how I felt when I live(d) in Tucson, AZ during my study.
        • My Cooking RecipesThis is where I share my recipes. Well, I mean the recipes of the food that I cooked. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: This might not be the best instructions you’ll get ’cause basically I cook as I like using whatever I’ve got. So I kinda wish that no professional chefs (or people who’re really into cooking) would read this ’cause I’m afraid they’d consider it blasphemy. LoL

      • Visa ApplicationThis is where I recount the story of how I applied for my visa.
    • RandomHere’s where I write about random stuff, which I can’t put under the other categories I’ve made. So this is kinda miscellaneous.
      • Dream JournalsJust some dreams (literally the ones I saw when I was sleeping) that somehow I managed to remember and so I decided to write them here.
      • FictionJust some of my imagination that I put into writing, or perhaps some kind of catharsis, I don’t know…

Going to Australia: Sydney Chapter (part II)

jUwa4 years ago2 years ago032 mins

So, mm, my flight was delayed, and damn, they didn’t compensate me at all, no snacks or whatsoever. I was really pissed because I was charged $60 for my overweight backpack, but, ok, this and that were different. I was still in the wrong. But I really didn’t like it because it meant that I’d…

Going to Australia: Tasmania Chapter

jUwa4 years ago2 years ago020 mins

This might sound like a lie–i.e. I might look stupid, but to be honest, I didn’t know about Tasmania before my friend finally mentioned it. (Yeah, I know Tasmanian devil but somehow it didn’t click). So, umm, my friend said that Tasmania looked like New Zealand; i.e. it’s like the mini New Zealand, so if…

Going to Australia: Melbourne Chapter

jUwa4 years ago2 years ago017 mins

The reasons I decided to visit Melbourne were 1) it just didn’t feel right to visit only Sydney, 2) I had another friend I could stay with, and 3) I kinda wanted to visit Monash university and another part of Aussie. I mean, I heard many friends are actually studying in Monash. And it turned…

Going to Australia: Sydney Chapter (part I)

jUwa4 years ago2 years ago021 mins

I had never been to Australia before so it was my first time visiting the country. It’s the 22nd country I visited (including my own country, just to make it look many. LoL) and it made it the 4th continent I went to. I had never thought I wanted to go to Australia before, but…

Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part III)

jUwa5 years ago2 years ago011 mins

So, well, we finally made it to our destination, Mt. Rushmore, and continued the road trip and finally made it home safe. It was crazy, though. We were supposed to stay a night at Santa Fe, NM before returning to Tucson, AZ. But I guess we’ve been too tired so we just headed straight to…

Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part II)

jUwa5 years ago3 years ago017 mins

This is the continuation of my previous post. But before I continue, I want to reflect on that incident. I think about what I did, and I am actually glad that when something “bad” happened, instead of blaming others, I looked into myself first. I might be too self-centered, but it is not that bad…

Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part I)

jUwa5 years ago2 years ago018 mins

This winter I was road-tripping with my friend in the US from Dec 19-Dec 26, 2018. We wanted to go to warmer places since it was winter but we’ve visited most of the warm states, so we didn’t really have that many options. Well, we could have been to another country like Mexico City in…

Going to Europe: The Episode of Oslo, Norway

jUwa5 years ago2 years ago035 mins

First of all, Norway is the fifth European country that I visited (I’m not counting UK). Second of all, Oslo is a very beautiful city and I really love it. Third of all, I had bad experience going to and traveling around the city. It’s such a drama, and let me tell you how or…

Transitting in Japan (part 5): Another drama in Narita

jUwa5 years ago2 years ago016 mins

My flight to the US was scheduled to be 10.40am but I seemed to forget that the boarding started at 9.50am. That’s when I realized that requesting 9.30am might be too late for me since I planned to buy the stamp for my postcard and all. I should’ve requested the earlier shuttle when I checked…

Transitting in Japan (part 4): Staying near Narita

jUwa5 years ago2 years ago013 mins

On my second transit, I decided to stay near Narita airport because I arrived quite late at night and my friend and I thought that it would cost me the same: staying at her place and staying at a cheap hotel near Narita because the fee that I had to pay to get to her…
