After two days of brainstorming with myself, I now made up my mind with my new series in this blog. I will try out different films and post my take on each film. Like a mini review of some sort. I’m not yet too technical with film photography so I will review the films based on my preference. I live in Japan so I encounter … Continue reading ⚠️ NEW SERIES ALERT ⚠️

I think this is my first time to stop at a sunset here in Kampala, Uganda. You see, I’m not a sunset or sunrise person. Well maybe one time when I was travelling in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

As the only OFW of our highschool barkada, I don’t get to go to 90% of the gala. May it be a hike, beach trip or just a coffee shop hangout. There was a point in my life that I feel alienated from my friends. I left every group chat. I felt alone. I was alone. Then this July Saigon trip happened. This trip is … Continue reading Saigon Travel Experience
