My love for Korean dramas started after watching “Crash Landing On You”. A show recommended by my daughter. I can’t actually count how many KDramas I’ve seen after that. Today, I finished Navillera. The story is about a young man, an aspiring ballerino and a 70 year old man whose childhood dream was to learn…

Flying Through Fog
Oxford dictionary defines brave as ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. But is that really all there is to being brave? If I am to define brave, I don’t think I can in just one sentence. I think bravery is more than just what Oxford dictionary is saying. Bravery is a…
Born to Be You
Do you know anything about nests or nest building? Surely I don’t. Where does this came from, you may ask? On my way back to the building I work at, there’s a beautifully crafted nest that caught my eyes. I’m guessing it fell off the tree and someone picked it up and put it down…
{Out of Character}
“Being unmotivated means you need deep rest from the character you’ve been playing in the world…” I read this somewhere but there was no credit to who actually said it.

Follow the Crowd?
Are there any rules for blogging or expressing one’s self or writing our own stories? If there is one, I am so glad I am not aware of it. Because, you know, I don’t like to follow certain rules on how I should write or tell my stories. I like it simple. I like it…
What Happentance?
: a circumstance especially that is due to chance: I am fifty years old. At my age, I still watch teenybopper movies like “What A Girl Wants” to some serious and hopelessly romantic movies like “The Notebook,” “Nights in Rodanthe” and “The Best of Me” just to give you an idea. You can say, I…
