TypeKita is Here
Do you enjoy reading and writing stories? I do. As do most Filipinos. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy fiction, a new app TypeKita is here. During the TypeKita Launch event, the app and its various features and exciting opportunities for readers and writers were introduced. Enjoying Fiction I rediscovered my love for fiction during the pandemic due to the variety and abundance of fanfiction readily available and easy to digest online. Pre-pandemic, I was struggling to reignite my love fore fiction and for reading but I never quite had the right mindset for it. But I was happy to discover that fanfiction and short-form fiction actually gave me the enjoyment I was looking for. Although, I never really considered myself a creative writer, moreso a fiction writer, exposure to fiction encouraged me to explore creative writing. Furthermore, it was really eye-opening to be exposed to different cultures, backgrounds, and lifestyles through the stories I read. Plus, the people I met through the KPop fanfiction community really helped me to be more open-minded. So when I heard about the TypeKita Launch, I got excited. Introducing TypeKita During the launch, the team behind the app shared that…
Solo Dating Ideas
I'm single. Unmarried. No partner. Most years I would spend Valentine's Season dating myself. Obviously, not on the day itself. That's a hassle. Anyway, the past few years I have been spending it here at home. And I quite enjoy it. To be honest, I date myself even on other days. Anytime I feel like it. Here are my Solo Dating Ideas if you want to have a fun and memorable day. What is Solo Dating? I am not even sure if that is a legit term for it but it is the word I use when I go out and date myself. Been doing it since I was in college. And I have been doing it more often now that I am usually just at home. I love eating alone. Watching a movie alone. Basically, treating myself to a fun time. Alone. Before, I would usually do it when I want to celebrate something special. Not necessarily Valentine's Day or my birthday. But anything I want to celebrate. Like closing a client deal. Finishing a project. Whatever or whenever I feel happy. Or even when I feel sad. Preparing for your Solo Date What makes a solo date different…
NCT 127 Chill Playlist
Happy 127 Day, NCTzens! It is January 27 (0127) and it is a special day for NCT 127 and NCTzens. To celebrate this day, 127 is sharing their own playlists via the NCT 127 Youtube Channel. Taking their cue, I am sharing also a few of my favorite 127 songs. Specifically, these are songs that I love to listen to on days when I want to just chill and relax. Hope you enjoy my NCT 127 Chill Playlist recommendations. About 127 NCT 127 is the first fixed unit of NCT (Neo Culture Technology), a KPop boy group managed by SM Entertainment. NCT 127 Favorite.BUY the album. NCT's concept is quite uhmmm... complicated to explain. Just think of them as an unlimited boy group composed of multiple units with different concepts. Some of these units have a specific city "home base" where they do most of their activities and promotions. NCT 127 is based in Seoul, Korea and 127 is the longitude of Seoul. They currently have 9 active members and 1 inactive member. 127 debuted in 2016 with "Fire Truck," an energetic and powerful hip-hop song. I mention this because Fire Truck, along with all of 127's succeeding title tracks…
Take Me Back to Elyu
Everyday, I think of going out, venturing back into the world. Leave my cares and worries and go someplace else. On most days, I want to go back to La Union... or as most people fondly call it "Elyu." People know me well will wonder why I, a person who always tries to avoid the beach, would ever want to go back to Elyu. To be honest, I do not really have a definite answer. La Union is up north and quite a hassle to go to. The first (and only) time I went there, it was a sponsored trip which I was kinda required to join. I was hesitant to go alone to a town I have never been to. And that time, I did not have any friends in La Union. Related Link: La Union Itinerary I did not go there to surf nor to lay on the beach. I went with just the itinerary and the task to take some photos and post some stuff online. Pretty basic. But that trip turned out to be one of the best I have ever been to. My Elyu I went on the trip with strangers and literally ended up…
Marry You
Yes, SHINee is back. Before you start wondering when and why I suddenly became a KPop fan, let me tell you it is a long story that developed in just a few weeks. Will definitely share more about that soon. Meanwhile, let's enjoy this SHINee comeback teaser "Marry You." Marry You Live Performance SHINee recently held a digital event entitled "The Ringtone" and at the end of the show, they performed one of the songs from their 7th album. Baby Cheese Taemin has been hinting about this song and some viewers even guessed the title during the broadcast. It has been weeks since I first watched this and yes, I do watch it at least once day. The song is not yet available on Spotify but will be online soon. Watch their performance and tell me you were as enthralled as I am. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GG9hPKwmeYo This is such a nice song. A bit slow but definitely a good showcase for the vocals of all four. And their styling in this performance is just impeccable. Key always be serving. (Do not miss his Allure feature on turning 30 and his views on femininity and masculinity. ) Marry You is the so-called "Side…
