For this blog, I wanted to make a series to look back upon, to remember most of the things I was grateful for, each in a month's span. Lately I've been having bad days than good, mostly because of my mentality. If there is one thing I realised in 2015 is we tend to remember the bad things we've experienced rather than the precious memories big or small. Having this is just a simple reminder of how great life is. Our everyday blessings are hidden gems we need to capture and cherish. This is written by me, for...

It's truly incredible how fast 2015 went. It seems like just yesterday I was spending my new years with my cousins in the Philippines and now here I am, with bleached blonde hair,  a completed diploma, a job I love (who knew I would enjoy going to work?!), and a ton of memories spent with different circle of friends. I've also neglected this blog, and many other things too, which I regret, but the positives outweigh all the bad that has happened throughout the year and I'm glad that through everything I have a God that has been...

After 2 months, I've decided to write about my 18th birthday on this blog. I feel like I have a lot of people to thank for that day, people I couldn't mention while I was making my speech on the night due to my nervousness, but I did try to name everyone online after.  To all those who helped, I mean it when I say I was and still am truly thankful you helped me plan the event and succeeded in being a quite fluent and enjoyable night. I'm definitely not the type to host my own parties,...

Hello! Happy New Year to YOU~  I was truly blessed at the end of 2014. I didn't deserve such blessings and love but I'm forever thankful I was able to travel to not only Philippines, but Japan aswell! Where do I even begin?! Japan was amazing! I remember getting off the airplane with literal chills because of how cold it was, and how surreal it was to actually step foot in Japan. I truly, truly was not expecting to be there! Not until years later! I've always told my family how much I'd love to go to Japan....

This was the second consecutive year I was able to go to the Japanese Festival held at Box Hill. The atmosphere it brings is very appreciative of the different elements that make up the culture.  [Ikebana arranged by a student from an Ikebana class -its so pretty~] [stalls at the festival located downstairs] Although they mostly showcase or sell the same things from last year, something makes it more unique and different each year. Ahh~ I have no idea how to explain it haha but basically, it was still an enjoyable festival.  Many people from different cultures all...

This is a long awaited and due post, so much in fact all my folios are done! *clapclap T_T I must say it was very hard, I never experienced such emotion and even physical stress before, but I'm glad its over. Of course, I feel like I shouldve done much better, but as long as I pass, I'll be fine.  Anyway, these photos were taken few months ago, and as a class, we were worried, if anything, when we saw the amount of quality and quantity shown on each folio. They were fantastic, and anyone that enters Top...
