January has surely become a free-trial month for me after all the conflicts that arose. Firstly, I became part of the Omicron community which brought me at my lowest over my 2wk quarantine. The flu was worst and it’s a misery to be isolated for such a long time. But blessings in disguise, I felt that it’s better that I got it here at home than in London or else that would absolutely top up the worse of the worst. Then, came some personal problems that makes me not want to return in Londres anymore. Oh, you can never really get away from adulting once started, isn’t it? 🥲 I guess this unexpected long vacation took me to a toll to reflect and unwind. Hence, my last week in my hometown brought me to an Island trip with my family at El Nido Resorts, Palawan! At some point, I missed embarking on sea adventures especially when you always live in the city (cold, gloomy and urbanized to name a slit of my world ;p). And also, I’m excited to tour another part of PH! 🥰
Here’s to share my tour to one of the pristine islands of the Philippines. Take note that this trip was carried on through a travel bubble in which limited visitors were allowed to join and COVID restrictions were strictly observed.
Twenty-twenty ONE thing’s for sure: that this year has been a lot better than the previous despite how COVID continues to evolve its variants. But as least now we are on the verge of getting fully-vaxxed and boosted on the way to normalcy!
Here’s to share my annual highlights in a year of face coverings (and lateral flow tests) ;p
Here’s a continuation of my Swiss trip which focuses on my stay in Zurich and the filming locations of the hit k-drama “Crash Landing On You”. Special thanks to my friends in the BinJin fandom, Andy for her local Swiss tips and O for creating a Google map of CLOY filming sites. I wasn’t able to go to those places in Interlaken and Iseltwald but I mostly got all the Zurich sites covered (plus Sigriswil!)
And as I trace the steps of Yoon Seri and Ri Jeong Hyeok, I have to say that it’s very nostalgic and heart-fluttering all at once! 💓
Another month of creativity begins as #CLOYTOBER had its second run hosted by @cloysauce. It’s a BinJin fan event in which the fandom showcases CLOY-inspired content based on a day-to-day prompt. There's a twist this time in which the prompts were abstract words compared from the previous year. Despite the challenge, a lot of fans on Twitter still managed to join and I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s entries! It mostly took me back down memory lane about BinJin’s loveable moments in CLOY as such an event fills in the content drought. I loved how every fan had their own unique ways to execute the prompts through either arts or literary works. 🖤
While for me, I offered my usual serves of random chibi arts. Honestly, I was silently ranting the first time I saw the prompts because the words were too broad; To my mind, I was like, how do you make an art out of ‘green’? ’letter’? ’remedy’? then associate it with CLOY? wtf?! Just kidding. Never had I really expect that I miraculously created something out of it and the mere fact that all of my entries were chibis since I’m no fic writer, poet, musician, etc. lol. So let me share how I arrived with such ideas per entry. But wait---why and how did I start with chibi arts?!
