Walking on sunshine, CA


Hi guys! This is a post on my trip across California couple days after I've just arrived in Seattle from home. It was a trip my older brother, Melvin, suggested and wanted my Mom and I to join. I decided to split this trip into a few post just to give you all some details on the highlights of this trip. So expect some up coming post but maybe not in order as there are still so much I want to share as well. Okay here we go!

I've had always heard about Cali, she's fun, bright and all smiles. Despite the winter weather, Cali gave me the confidence to just bust out in a cotton sweater and jeans alone, no jacket. My only outfit regret is not having the option to walk in sneaks instead of my winter boots. It was like the place was giving me the freedom for more movement, more new outings. This was especially refreshing from the chilly bite in Seattle so obviously I took whatever chance I get to revel in my sun bathing days there. I noticed the small traces of spring. I smelled salty ocean air breezing by. The sound of waves crashing against each other flowed through me, washing away all anxieties as long as it was heard. Thinking back about it makes me yearn for it again. Plus with the new experience of how different things are here, this was the getaway I needed to just be surprised all over again and actually be pretty excited for what's next ever since finishing high school. The seals were just a pleasant sight to observe and they were all so adorable. Cali also reminded me in some ways of KK so it was so relaxing to kind of feel something familiar. The tropical trees and the warmth from the sun were remedies to my home sickness. Let the picture speak for themeselves! FYI no filters added and most of them are displaying us at La Holla (pronounced ya-hoy-ya) Cove and a lighthouse by the National Park Service.

Tune Favourites

Double posting yeah! Feeling pretty motivated so straight after my very recent post of my trip to La Holla, here is another post on some of the songs that got me feeling some good vibes for the past 2 months I've been in the US until even now. You all also get an idea on my kind of music which is pretty eclectic as some of those who I violated with my playlist over the radio would know. Along with what I think of the song as well as a bit of info on it, hope you guys check em' out and see if you like them! 1. Blank Space/ Style (Taylor Swift Mashup) by Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson This is my current on repeat song that I only discovered just couple days back and this song got 4 million views on youtube. Gaining these artists some attention from the media and compliments from Tay Swift herself! Also they got to attend the Grammy's today and sing this song on E!'s pre red carpet show. Nothing but soft classic yet original tunes and perfect harmony that ...

2021 Update

     Hi readers if I still have any. I know its been two whole years since my last one and the reasoning the same. I am still doing my degree and technically in my final semester but with everything going on right now I am still the same girl with new different things to be anxious about. I am not sure if this means I am back on the blogging grind but I weirdly still feel a need to update on where I am, where you could find me more if not this blog and it felt like the mood to write this came and I jumped on it.     So I am right now trying to do my best with doing my final stretch of degree on a virtual online platform and my weakness for getting things done and time managing hit me so hard. Not being able to be where my family is right now in Sabah has caused tons of different strains no one is prepared for but I want to leave you all also things I am doing to do to try work on it. I am taking therapy (it has been hard work but its definitely relieved my emoti...

Spotlight: Beauty Edition

I am back home and having spent almost 3 weeks blissfully chilling and eating, I thought I share some beauty products that I've been loving recently. For cleanser , I really do enjoy this one for removing my make up. I won't say its something you can count on to take a completely BEAT face off but if you typically don on light makeup (me on the daily), this does the job. I really wanted to try be environment friendly by avoiding make up wipes as much as I can and I can't use cleansing oils because I have no hot water back in the hostel to really get that off. Hence, I gave this a go and its a bliss to massage into the face. I've been trying this thing I read from W Magazine that's a Japanese technique to cleanse as well as rinse for a couple minutes each to really clean out your face with gentle cleansers. So this product was perfect to also implement that and easy to rinse out as well. When I wanted to be more gentle to my skin, I worried that product...
