A weekend in West Bay ironshore

I am a “bayer” now, that’s what they say. Although my daddy was originally from East End, I am spending the rest of my conscious life here on the west side. It is the most populous district on island and “troublemakers” live here. It’s not as ugly as you think it is though, there are a lot of good places (especially restaurants!) you can safely hangout with friends in here. It was a lazy day last weekend so I decided to go to ironshore and just chill.


I have been here for more than a year now and to be honest I’m just bored most of the time- that’s why I go out as much as I possibly can. I don’t really have a “passionate” hobby except from taking photos and diarizing my thoughts and sharing it on the web, but at the same time I am extremely anxious of getting “recognized” or being too public with my personal life. As a matter of fact, I don’t have an online presence anymore except this blog and my twitter, in both of which I don’t use my real name lol.

But anyway, when I get the chance I’ll show you more not only of West Bay or my self portraits, but rather the beauty of the whole island as well. So stay tuned!

  • Discover Camana Bay

    Discover Camana Bay

    As mentioned in my previous blog post, I recently got a job at my dream company, a Swiss bank. It is located at one of Grand Cayman’s hot spots for tourists, Camana Bay. I remember my first visit there as a tourist, it almost felt like I’m back in Bonifacio Global City. The location is very aesthetic and it houses almost every essential establishment you could think of. There is a bookstore, numerous restaurants and cafe’s, clinics, cinema for leisure, mini gardens for picnic, and ofcourse the Fosters (the grocery store) is just a few steps away.  Definitely, having your workplace there is such a privilege. The entire location has state of the art facilities especially the security and data centre. Most companies there are wealth…

  • Ocho Rios Day 3: Dunn’s River Falls; Montego Bay, and Holland Bamboo

    Ocho Rios Day 3: Dunn’s River Falls; Montego Bay, and Holland Bamboo

    We woke up bright and earlyโ€”againโ€”to pack up for the day. First stop: Dunnโ€™s River Falls in Ocho Rios, then off to Montego Bay! Even though our legs were still recovering from yesterdayโ€™s Mystic Mountain adventure, there was no way we were skipping this iconic Jamaican gem. Dunnโ€™s River Falls is one of Jamaicaโ€™s most famous natural attractionsโ€”think cascading limestone terraces and cool mountain spring water rushing all the way down to the beach. Itโ€™s not just pretty to look at; people actually climb up the falls, making it part adventure, part nature therapy. ๐ŸŒฟ Seeing the falls in person was a bit surprising. Photos online make it look huge, and while itโ€™s definitely not Niagara-level tall, itโ€™s still a breathtaking sight. The sound of…

  • My sweet trip to Jamaica

    My sweet trip to Jamaica

    Hi friends! Last Friday I flew to Jamaica with the purpose of applying for US B1/B2 visa.  If you are wondering why I had to leave Cayman Islands, well that is because there is no US embassy here and the nearest one is in Kingston. My trip was only supposed to be over the weekend, but it turned out to be an entire week because… life happens! Right before I left, I was already feeling lethargic and called in sick from work. Then, one of my co-workers told me that someone from the office contracted covid. I hurriedly tested myself and just my luck, I tested positive too! ><” There were no restrictions to travellers anyway so I and my boyfriend still went and hopped…

    Day 2 in Japan: Shrines, Street Food, and a Very Random Karaoke Night

    Okay, so itโ€™s officially our second day in Japan, and the pregnant lady is still exhausted. ๐Ÿ˜… But honestly, the day couldnโ€™t go to waste. We woke up early for breakfast and decided that instead of pushing ourselves all the way to Kyoto (which wouldโ€™ve been a whole production with our schedule), weโ€™d visit Nezu Shrine instead. Nezu Shrine is like a little Kyoto tucked inside Tokyo. Quiet, traditional, and surrounded by those iconic red torii gates. Itโ€™s one of the oldest shrines in the city, and itโ€™s dedicated to Inari, the deity of prosperity and good harvest. Japan has shrines everywhere because Shintoism is deeply woven into everyday life. People visit to give thanks, pray for good fortune, or simply reconnect with nature. At…

  • Life lately

    Life lately

    I have been back and forth to the hospital the past few days and I haven’t been feeling my best self lately. I’ve been to the emergency room twice and boy I tell you, how lonely it is to be in a hospital bed alone with all those beeping machines and people in pain all over the place. I even witnessed an ambulance coming in with person who just drowned and soaking wet. Anyway, I’m not sure if my condition is due to stress, home-sickness, or change in weather and fatty foods whatever – but don’t worry I am recovering. One thing I know for sure — medical bills are not a joke so everyone please don’t take your health for granted! and when I…

  • Life Update: Week 4

    Life Update: Week 4

    Hey, how are you? Life update: I finally got to drive my car on the main road for the very first time yesterday. As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently got my driver’s license. It was nerve wracking but such a learning experience. The tip professionals would always tell me, assume that everybody else on the road doesn’t know what they’re doing. That way you’ll be more alert and cautious. Kind of helpful thinking that I am the smartest driver on the road lol. Weekends are always chill and slow for me nowadays, thankfully, unlike before where I work on Saturdays and  then do all my chores on Sundays. Can you believe? no more rest day left for me. For two years I…
