CayMas among other things

I’m so terrible at keeping my blog active, na tru? A lot has been going on quite recently. Apart from still learning about my current role in my new workplace, I am also studying for 4 upcoming exams: CSC 1, CSC 2, CPH, and Options/Derivatives. I’ve mentioned this numerous times in the past and I know I sound like a broken record because that’s about the only thing I ever talk about! But really — I work from 8:30am-4:30pm, study on lunch breaks, attend study group session from 4:30PM to 7PM, every single day. I only have a window of time on Saturdays to sleep, do house chores, run some errands, date night with hubby-to-be, or watch netflix! Then on Sundays I go meet up my study buddies for mock exams from 8:30AM-10:30AM. This has been my routine for the last three months. Can you imagine the amount of dedication and effort I’m spending for this? I am so proud of us. I hope we all pass with flying colors!

 

Anyway, on the fun side, me and my fiancรจ watched this year’s CayMas carnival parade. The participation was massive! There were more groups, costumes, and floats involved compared to Batabano. 

This event was coincidentally the best time to practice my new Canon 22mm f2 lens! My fiancรจ bought me this during his short trip to Miami ๐Ÿ˜Š Oh and if you are wondering — no I wasn’t part of the crowd because I couldn’t take the heat! I watched the parade in my car and wherever with shade!

    Toronto Day 2: Royal Ontario Museum and Eaton Centre

    Today’s itinerary is more relaxed than Day 1. I had initially planned for a busy day, but we decided to take it easy. As usual, we ordered Jollibee for breakfast and headed straight to the first on our list — the Royal Ontario Museum. It is easy to commute here since the museum is just right as you exit the University Line – Museum Station. To get to the subway, we took a bus. It was raining and extra cold – but nothing could stop us! The Royal Ontario Museum is so huge. I can’t remember the last time I went to a museum, so I am amazed by their art collection. Apart from Canadian pieces, they also have European, Asian, Asia-Pacific, Middle Eastern, and…

  • My Holidays 2021

    Hey everyone! I know it’s been a long time…. ์˜ค๋žœ๋งŒ์ด์—์š”. I tweaked my blog a little bit here and there, did you notice any changes? lol. I’m writing to you now here at the comfort of my home with a nice and warm cup of coffee. Ah, it’s a good life. Many of us fail to appreciate this, the beauty of the mundane. Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do since my last update! The last 2 months of 2021. November, actually, is my favorite month. I love Halloween. I like dressing up in costumes and watching others dress up as well. This year, I suggested for a Halloween party in my workplace and it was granted about a week and a…

    Final destination: Halloween party bus

    I’ve never been on a party bus before EVER – so imagine my excitement when I found out that Star FM is hosting a halloween bus party! There are 4 buses, 4 mystery stops (with games & missions), and 1 exclusive after party! Starting point is at the courtyard across the radio station in George Town and where the bus is going? Nobody knows! 1st stop: Hell, West BayMission: Take a group photo with the devil I was hoping for the bus to go East for a change but oh well this year they decided to rome around West Bay – my district. First task is to take a group photo with the devil (kinda lame but yeah lol). Nobody gave af about the mission,…

  • Walt Disney World

    Walt Disney World

    I went to Orlando Christmas last last year to do some shopping and went to Disney World while I’m there. My trip was only for three days and there was nothing much to do in such a short span of time. My goal really was just to spend some time away from the island and buy reasonably priced clothing among other things. I remember arriving on the 23rd of December and leaving on the 26th. I have come to realize that shopping in the USA at this time of the year, apart from Black Friday, is not a good idea — mainly because everywhere is packed with people and almost all stores are already empty! So in the end, I had barely bought anything lol…

    Five things you probably didn’t know about me

    Happy Sunday everyone! Today I want you to get to know me a little bit better. I can be quite private in a way that I don’t really like putting myself out there, but this time I’m going out of my shell for a bit and share some of myself. This is part of my Coffee & Connect series where I talk about personal stuff, so you can check out the other posts if you are curious. โ˜บ Let’s begin! #1. When asked, I always introduce myself as full Filipino  I was born and raised in the Philippines by my Filipino mom. Technically I am only 50%, but the way I think, speak, and act are all 100% Filipino. Even my accent would give me away. Nothing…

    Living life offline (somehow)

    Hey there! How’s everything been on your end? I’ve been up to some interesting things lately, and I thought I’d share the highlights with you. So, buckle up, and let’s dive in! For starters, Iโ€™ve taken a bit of a social media detoxโ€”well, except for Reddit, of course. Itโ€™s been a game-changer. Without the constant scrolling and notifications, I’ve found myself living more in the moment, really soaking in the real-world interactions. Honestly, it feels like I’ve been living life more authentically. A couple of weeks ago, my bestie Beatriz and I decided to hit up a nearby restobar to unwind. Trust me, we donโ€™t do this often, so you can imagine my excitement! It was a Friday afternoon, the perfect time to shake off…
