2016: A Year in Review

2017 is already peaking right around the corner and I am so ready for him to arrive! 2016 had been a bust and I know I am not alone in feeling this way, amaryt? But despite all the bad things that happened this year, I believe the good things still outweighed them all. I've ridden one heck of …

Zamboanga City | Fort Pilar and Paseo Del Mar

It was one October night when my mom told me of her wish of us hopefully spending Christmas in her hometown this year. We were deep in conversation about family and heart matters when she opened up the subject. After that night, I was determined to grant what she desired to give her happiness this…

The Random Bibliophile's First Ever [Birthday] Giveaway!

I'm turning 23 in 6 days and to celebrate, I decided to host my first ever giveaway! (*silly dance*) Since I switched to Blogger last May, I have been really working so hard to better this little corner of mine. I was genuinely surprised that a number of people can relate to my blog, that you …

It's finally Christmas Eve eve and I am so happy to be where I am right now!

Last night, my family and I traveled to my mom's hometown (Zamboanga City) to spend the holidays with her side of the family. We just arrived this morning at 3, and even though the 10-hour trip was tiresome, gettin…

A December Movie List

I am a fan of movies (have been and will always be). May it be romantic comedies, chick flicks, love stories, comedies, animated films (Disney woot-woot!), dramas, serious movies, inspirational, biographies, fantasies, horrors, greek mythologies, you name it, I'd love to watch it if the trailer…

A Letter to Santa

Dear Mr. Claus (or should it be Mr. Nicholas?),

I'm going to be formal here coz I'm all grown up and I don't want to sound like a giddy kid who cannot wait for Christmas Day (although I totally am).

It's been a long time since I've written a letter for you, let alone thought of …

Favorite Christmas Memories 💕

Christmas has always been dear to me. It's the season of love and giving, a season of hope and faith. I particularly love celebrating this holiday with my family. Every year we have always gathered together to thank the Lord for all the blessings He has showered upon us. Every Christmas was di…

Not Your Ordinary Christmas Playlist

For the past few days, I've been trying to build up on what I think would be the "perfect" Christmas playlist for me. I wanted it to start slow and mysterious and solemn, and then it would just bloom and boom into that glorious festive Christmassy feel.

I've been listening to it s…

The Happy List: November Edition ❤

My old happy, carefree self is slowly coming back and I have God and some people to thank for this change in mood and perspective! The start of December was so good, I've had a true smile plastered on my face since the first. I hope these good vibes won't wear off until the end. Christmas …

My Christmas Wishlist 2016

I don't usually post wishlists because I'm really not into sharing these kinds of stuff, but I will make an exception this time because it's December! 😁 So I've thought up of items I would love to have, maybe not just for this Christmas, but for the next year(s) to come. Some item…

Things to Look Forward to this December 2016

The last month of the year has finally come and with it, the festive mood of people because the holidays are fast approaching!

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of all time since I was a kid. I love decorating our house with fairy lights, I love helping my mom decorate the tree, I love…

I'm Lost and I'm trying to Find my way back

There's this feeling of dread inside me that has been eating me alive lately. I've been putting on a brave face since because I don't want people to worry about me. It's difficult but I just have to do everything I can to survive this life.

Yesterday, I woke up feeling lost more th…

Camiguin's White Island

This is an overdue blog entry but I'll push it through because I wanted to share with you, guys, the beauty of Camiguin's White Island. I went there with Jethro earlier this year and if you can recall, I posted our Mantigue Island Adventuremonths ago.

So, it was our last day in Camiguin an…

Let's Talk About Social Media

Fact: What you put out there is prone to be judged by people who either know you in person or not.
Nights ago, Jethro and I had an argument over a Facebook activity I saw on my feed. I was ranting my heart out that people need to tone down on posting stuff excessively because what they're uplo…
