I said hey, what’s going on

Published by Justine

Fuckin’ hell, it’s already September. Can you believe?! I’ve come to the point where I don’t know what to write about anymore, that even my other blog is currently enjoying an annual drought. Usually I don’t let more than 6 months pass without publishing an entry but it just couldn’t be help. Was I that busy this year? I certainly still had time to watch Terrace House and a bunch of Korean dramas, so I can’t really say that I was too busy to write in here. I guess the need to formulate a proper blog post kind of lost its charm on me and updates result into bite-sized micro social media posts in the form of Instagram stories or Twitter updates. I don’t even post that much on Facebook anymore. Nowadays I feel like I’m chasing something with no definite destination. Is this how 30s feel like? Isn’t one supposed to have things figured out by now? 20s was a long, winding road full of reckless pursuits and bad decisions that I guess I’m …

How I Got My Japan & South Korea Tourist Visa in Cebu

Published by Justine

Updated note: this was in 2017, so things could be different now! I get a lot of questions from close friends about visa application experiences so I decided to finally write about one, especially in Cebu. I love how it’s fairly easy to get visas in Cebu now without having to fly out to Manila anymore. Why not take advantage, right? I will try my best to be as detailed as possible with this entry. I know many probably won’t read and just skim through so I will also make the requirements concise as well. The reason why I consolidated this post for both countries is that I applied to both in a span of a couple of weeks therefore it made obtaining my requirements a lot more time efficient. Introduction There are a lot of other blogs that provide more detailed process for different kinds of applicants. This post is about my own personal experience that’s why I can confidently write about it. I could say that I owe my knowledge to blogs for …

The Sunday Currently, v28

Published by Justine

Hello and happy first day of October! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Time flies by pretty fast that I just realized the last one was a good 5 months ago. FEELING Pretty okay! The weekend wasn’t exactly topnotch because I had to work yesterday and didn’t get to have any Saturday plans but it wasn’t the worst. I spent the night at a friend’s place and today was all about lazing around and watching movies with my sister. WATCHING/LISTENING This semi-stripped down version of Too Good At Goodbyes by Sam Smith. It’s a solid new single. I’m also looking at my last TSC and I just wanted to give an update: ever since Weightlifting Fairy and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, I’ve seen quite a number of K-dramas after that. Love in the Moonlight, Fight My Way, My Secret Romance, and She Was Pretty. Pretty crazy, to be honest. I’ve always capped myself at 1 K-drama per year and I was just on a roll. FEELING I’m having a bit …

Terrace House: Aloha State – A Subjective Ranking

Published by Justine

Just like what I did with the Boys & Girls in the City, here’s a completely subjective ranking on the Aloha State members. While Boys & Girls in the City was difficult because it was hard to choose which one I liked best, my challenge for this one was nominating the ones I hated less. Aloha State was such a season full of polarizing parts and I don’t know if my watching habits contributed to a lot of the decision making but whatever, I’m gonna do it the way I did with the previous one. Another note, this was also a little bit more difficult to write than the Boys & Girls In the City version because I feel like I’m not really doing as much justice? Unlike B&GITC which was a whole marathon, Aloha State was released in parts. I was lucky to score a VPN subscription where I got to watch Part 4 almost 2 months before the worldwide Netflix release. Let’s do this! WARNING: SPOILERS if you haven’t completed Part 4.
