Dealing with Death

In just a span of a week, I have to deal with two deaths and one death anniversary. Today, I say goodbye to Alison. Her son was Kaitlin’s preschool classmate. Life can be really cruel and unpredictable, but she chose to face it positively even when the odds were against her. She was so helpful and sweet when I was…

Sakihokoru Thoughts Part II

I can’t remember if Yesung asked fans if we saw ourselves in the light or in the dark. Whether he asked or not, I gave it some thought. Rather than absolutely say without a doubt that I’m in the light or dark, I see myself as in the middle. The middle between light and dark is the comfort zone and…

Sakihokoru Thoughts Part I

The purpose of this post is to share my thoughts on Yesung’s title track “咲き誇る時を待つのは” of his new Japanese album. I know I have been yapping a lot about Yesung lately, but this one is really not a result of my fangirl moments. I felt like he kept asking fans about the song and MV — what they thought about…

Goodbye, Fellow Lolita

Today is just a terrible day. Our local lolita community just lost a treasured and valuable member. I haven’t spoken to her before (just me and my awkward introvert self), but I’ve always admired her aesthetic. She was one of the lolitas who didn’t seem bothered that she was wearing specs with lolita or not wearing a wig. Things that…

Back Again?

Wow, the last post was written back in 2022? I have neglected this blog too much. Then again, life and responsibilities just catches up with me and I find myself unable to sit down for too long to stew in my own thoughts. But, even as I go back and forth with hiatuses from blogging, I am unwilling to give…

Confessions of Being in Isolation

Every time I come back here to pen something, it will be after like a long time. Wish I had more time to do whatever I like, but being an adult is hard… And I guess it’s just a matter of priorities. I chose to embark on an influencer journey with IG being the main focus, hence this blog has…

Unpopular Opinion

So…I’m back with some unpopular opinion. Yup, here’s my opinion that no one asked for. I was just googling drama stuff yesterday when I stumbled upon the big news of Deng Lun evading taxes and getting cancelled. I *guess* evading taxes is a serious crime but seems like what follows is cancel culture in China. Especially if you’re in showbiz.…

But He is Only Human

I guess this is a part two to the previous post. So I saw more pics of Yang Yang at (an airport?) Starbucks getting a drink. Again with lots of fans holding up their camera phones to click away. This weird irritated feeling bubbled inside me. “Can the poor guy just get a coffee without all the scrutiny and attention?”…

Do You Sometimes Wish

Another one of those impossible things I thought of this morning. Actually this was something I came across last night but started to think about it this morning. So I was happily scrolling through IG and came across this pic of Yang Yang walking through possibly the airport. Could see fans taking pics of him in the background. I suppose…

Men and Scams

Scams a plenty on Instagram. Stolen pics of handsome men. Some seemingly rich and flaunting their wealth with pics of fine cuisine, flashy sports/luxury cars, luxury goods, the list goes on. All I wanna say is… OEI. You think all girls are gold diggers meh? You think I have never eaten before what you’ve eaten meh? Please lah. Don’t make…
