My Holidays 2021

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a long time…. 오랜만이에요. 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 half before the end of October! There was a competition for best team office design and best costume, so say no more, I gave every ounce of creativity and effort to win! I realized that most of my coworkers will go for either a cutesy pumpkin carving halloween or a creepy skeletonish spidery one, but I took the opportunity do a concept with a story.


Introducing…

Murder Mystery: Who whacked Jack?

Mission success! We won best team office design 🙂

December, and so the festive season begins! In Cayman there really isn’t so much to do other than see a couple of light shows or go to parties, which are unfortunately also restricted to a number of people due to covid. So for Christmas, my boyfriend and I decided to stay at the Marriot for December 24th-26th. Ah, expensive but I think we deserve some good time and rest after working hard for the year. We mostly just settled in by the pool, restaurant, and balcony.


And ofcourse, just right after christmas day, I hungout with friends for some Filipino food, games, fun and festivies! Filipino christmas party games are always the best. Hope you guys enjoyed your holidays as much as I did!

  • Rainy day

    Rainy day

    From the title itself. I love rainy days. It calms me. It’s like the universe telling me to relax, everything is going to okay. The cool and breezy temperature; island people need a break from summer too. Anyway, a lot has changed since I’ve last written in this blog. It’s been more than a month since I was present here.  Even the Blogspot interface has changed lol. I moved out of my old place, I’ve left my job, and after a month I’m finally starting a career at my dream workplace — a Swiss Bank. Phew. Such a life development. I am looking forward to a better work environment, supportive colleagues, and weekends finally! I can’t believe I’m having my weekends off again after two…

  • Batabano Carnival

    Batabano Carnival

    Since it’s almost carnival season (but has been postponed until further notice), I will take you to trip down memory lane with me in last years celebration! Batabano Carnival  is an annual festival held in the Cayman Islands every month of May. The island is home to more than a hundred nationalities, most (if not all) of which participate in light of community spirit. It is a cultural celebration filled with music, dance, food, costumes, heritage and culture, and ofcourse booze! lol. It is a pretty young carnival that has only been going on for 30 years (thanks to Rotary Club!) The highlight of the festival is the street parade composed of masquerade bands and *drumroll please…..* exotic costumes! Last years parade started from the Seven…

  • Catching up

    Catching up

    Hi everyone, I’m writing to you now as a means of catching up for last month. I know a lot has been happening around the world especially in my home country, which makes me appreciate how privileged and blessed I am to be living here where the pandemic has been handled pretty well. I hope you guys are holding on. Anyway, last month has been (and I can’t stress this enough) HECTIC, in multiple facets of my life. Work per se has been voluminous,  CFA reviews and networking, home renovations, and finally launching our own business! All of that happened simultaneously in March. You can say yes I have been productive, but I have also abandoned a lot of other things like this blog, and…

  • 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 누구 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…

  • Coming back home

    Coming back home

    The first stop in our four-country, three-week vacation was the Philippines. We wanted to spend time with family and do some shopping before heading to our next destination. With some recent life changes, I know I might not be able to visit home as often, so I wanted to make the most of this trip. It was raining when we landed. A typhoon had just hit, so the weather was pretty gloomy and wet. That same day, the news was full of stories about a huge rally on the infamous flood control project. It was on the radio, TV, and social media. The whole country was talking about it. Even with all that going on, I noticed how much the Philippines has changed. There were…

  • The Pirates Week

    The Pirates Week

    Hello everyone, welcome to another Anywhere with Choi. Today I’m going to take you with me to The Pirates Week Festival 2019. I’m not sure if we are going to have it this year, hopefully we do, but with all that’s going on around the world I doubt it. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and let’s appreciate Cayman Islands once more in this national festival. What is Pirates Week? It is a week long celebration of Cayman’s pirate folklore and culture. It is a ten fun filled days of music, street dances, competitions, games, food festivals of traditional dishes and drinks, a Pirate Pooch Parade, a children’s fun day, teen dances, two glittering parades, sporting events for all ages, a pirate invasion and…
