Rub-A-Dub 90’s Cooler Fete

I’m not sure if cooler fetes are a thing in Asia but here in the Caribbean it is almost like every outdoor party / event there is. Basically it’s a party where you can bring your own drinks and cooler. I’ve been to cooler fete twice before and it was fun, especially now that I learned how to drink (sush, it’s only our secret). Almost everybody I know still thinks I’m a good girl, but ever since I hopped on that flight to this side of the world, I feel like I’ve been liberated (to be free without regrets, that is). I have no idea at all of the music they played since my exposure is only on the mainstream ones. Dancehall or soca was unkown to me until recently. I still enjoyed nevertheless, the longer I stay here, the more I feel “localized” lol!

Also one of the main reasons why I went is because I wanted to watch Red Rat! I am not a fan and I don’t know any of his songs but I vividly remember that one time I visited his mother (she’s my daddy’s best friend btw) and then I realized he’s actually a big name in the music industry in the Caribbean!

The concert was lit. A lot of people came although most of the time I felt outta place because I’m dancing and singing to songs I don’t know lol. It was held at Pedro St. James Castle which is in my opinion is your neighborhood haunted house where rebellious kids go and hangout during wee hours.

  • Halloween 2022

    Halloween 2022

    Hi friends! This is me trying to update my dusty old blog lol. As you all know, halloween is one of my favourite events in the year mainly because I love seeing people dressed up not just in spooky costumes but creative and cute ones as well! And since I’m a fan of Brooklyn Nine Nine’s halloween specials, I incorporated the same idea in my workplace. I recently joined the social committee and immediately took dibs of organising halloween this year. Last year, we had a spontaneous party and awards for best costume and best decor. So I thought of doing the same, but with one more additional competition: Amazing Race – Halloween Edition! I was not given any budget for this social so I…

  • What else is there to do?

    What else is there to do?

    The global health crisis has brought almost all nations into community quarantine, and here in Cayman, we are not an exemption. The government has recently mandated a lot of businesses to temporarily close due to the recent developments with the pandemic. As we speak, we have 9 active cases here on island, and the best measures the authority came up with are: Twenty-four (24) hour curfew (we literally panicked buy yesterday because no one is allowed to go out!), Island-wide lock down (airport is closed for passenger planes, only cargo is allowed), and To temporarily shut down non-essential business, causing a lot of employees to be laid off. And you guessed it right, I was laid off for two weeks with nothing much to do…

    Planning a Wedding: My Journey and Tips for Future Brides

    As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, I recently got married. The journey to make the event happen took a year of planning, with many adjustments along the way. Today, I want to share my experience with you, hoping it will help if you are a future bride. Every couple’s situation is unique. In my case, I did all the planning from the Cayman Islands while the wedding took place in the Philippines. Fortunately, I have a supportive mother who handled the groundwork and a fantastic wedding planner with all the right contacts. It was a team effort that made everything possible. Before diving into the details, it’s important to note that having a supportive family and a reliable wedding planner plays a crucial role…

  • Coffee & Connect: Week 1

    Coffee & Connect: Week 1

    It’s Sunday. We made it through the week! So let me ask you something, how have you been? Well in my case, it’s a pretty normal week but a little more productive than the last one. Let me share my activities with you in bullets. Monday Went to work, nothing new except a ton of paperwork. Our business has been classified as “essential” so I spent some time to work in the office. Went home pretty early and played Mobile Legends with my friends. Watched Community on Netflix (already watched this when I was in college but it’s such a great sitcom I don’t mind rewatching it over and over again!) Started reading The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. Thanks for the recommendation Anika! Tuesday Impulsively…

  • Iโ€™m not an INFP anymore

    Iโ€™m not an INFP anymore

    When I first took the MBTI years ago, I came out as an INFP โ€” the idealist. And it fit. I was introspective, feelings-driven, and consistently journaling, constantly searching for meaning in everything. I could spend an entire afternoon reflecting on one moment โ€” a random goodbye, a line from a song, a scene from a film. I felt everything, all the time. It was a lot. And honestly? It still is. When my friend Bea left our workplace, I didnโ€™t just get sad โ€” I spiraled. I went into full-blown organize-and-buy-things mode to copeโ€”deep cleaning, impulse purchases, the whole nine yards. My emotions needed somewhere to go, and I gave them a productivity makeover. Then there was the time I watched Natalia Osipova perform…

  • Island life is overrated

    Island life is overrated

    I was born in Metro Manila, and I moved to Grand Cayman about five years ago. At first I enjoyed going to the beach; it felt like an escape from the busy city life. Eventually, I realised that going to beach is a staple for the locals. It is the main weekend activity; there is very little to nothing else to do. I don’t enjoy it anymore as much as I did before. Last weekend and Wednesday holiday gone, my boyfriend’s friend hosted a beach party. They brought barbecue grill, speakers, and dominos. I was just there sitting and watching them play dancehall music. The first hour was fun, the succeeding ones felt so dragging. Is it just me? I guess because I was not…
