Hell yeah it’s 2023!

Hi friends! Yay for my first post in 2023! New years hasn’t been that exciting for me. I’ve discovered a lot about myself in 2022, and one of those is I HATE FIRECRACKERS! That’s probably why I didn’t enjoy the countdown lol. I mean, would you agree that it is such a perfect way to waste money? Not only does it cost bucks but also it’s loud and dangerous, all for a 3-second enjoyment. Doesn’t make sense. There, I said it! 

Anyway, we celebrated new years eve at a resort here in Cayman. It has been a tradition for us to do a staycation over the festive holidays. I also did some well-deserved shopping to treat myself for thriving through 2022! Got myself a new leather handbag and a custom-made perfume ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Nothing much happened except the countdown at the public beach (which by the way I spent 2 hours sleeping in the car and woke up 30mins before January 1st lol)

This year instead of new years resolutions, I have a bucket list! 

  • Get engaged with my boyfriend
  • Pass CFA level 1
  • Secure a job at my dream company (if I do I will make an entry about it!) โœจmanifestingโœจ
  • Pass certification for my dream company โœจmanifestingโœจ
  • Visit the Philippines
  • Get approved for naturalisation and passport
  • Conclude the construction of my house in the Philippines
  • Some progress on my pre-construct house in Newlands
  • Visit a country in Europe
How about you friends, what are your bucket lists this year? Floor is open for discussion!

    Journey to Self-Discovery: From Humble Beginnings to High Society

    This post is dedicated to my dear friend Bea, who has consistently been my pillar of support and a trusted confidant whenever I’ve needed someone to turn to. Sometimes, I have this nagging feeling that I don’t fit in with the people I am surrounded with. I’m just a simple girl who once dreamed of being among the most intelligent and successful people in society. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve finally made it; other times, I wonder if I deserve to be here. There are moments when I feel like I’m trying too hard to fit in. I’m not sure if I’ve grown or if I’m just acting as the person I eventually want to become. I grew up in a modest background in the…

  • Saturday nights at Cotton Club

    Saturday nights at Cotton Club

    “Is there anything else you do on Saturdays aside from clubbing?” Short answer is, no! In this small island there is not much of a variety of fun activities to do on weekends apart from beaching so yeah. This is what “Caymanian kids nowadays” do most of the time. What I like about the night life here is that girls wear literally whatever they want without being judged or bodyshamed. As a woman that is one of the most liberating feelings you could possbily feel. It also keeps my creative juices flowing esp on outfit ideas and accessorizing. In the photo above I was only wearing a gray sports bra and an office skirt – but it turned out not so bad! ___ Anywhere with…

  • Rub-A-Dub 90’s Cooler Fete

    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…

  • 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…

  • Cheers to 2022!

    Happy new year everybody! This is my first post of 2022! How exciting is that? Did you know that I was in the blogosphere since I was in high school… like around 2006ish… 15 years ago! Although ofcourse I kept changing my handle and kept evolving in content that’s why I’m always like a ๋ˆ„๊ตฌ to this world lol. A lot of the lifestyle bloggers I knew back then has stopped writing… and moved on with their lives. I wish I could still stay in that era that inspired me a lot to write. Quite frankly majority of the blogs I come across these days are all for making $$$ off content, building a brand, improving SEO and all that jazz. I genuinely hope I come…

  • The Hallotober Tag

    The Hallotober Tag

    I know it’s late to do the Hallotober tag since it’s November in like two days, but I’d like to go and participate in it anyway! Thanks to Izzy for tagging me, and Jordanne for this idea! Halloween has always been my favorite part of the year. I know some people would say Halloween isn’t something to be celebrated because of its origins, but common guys, it’s 2020! Halloween is fun because you can dress up as literally anyone and go to spooky parties! It’s that one time of the year where everybody suddenly becomes a cosplayer; and everybody suddenly has a supernatural experience to share. I love watching horror movies with my friends and be frightened with them, I don’t know, it makes me…
