Have you ever experienced browsing an online shop for gifts, only to end up buying something for yourself instead, completely on the spur of the moment? I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but that's exactly how the Innisfree Vivid Cotton Ink in #06 Faded Beige Tulip came into my possession, haha! 🙈

Just a little recap of March. Mostly kitty photos, but I'm sure you all knew that already ;)

It's been a while since I last made a life lately post, so it took me a while to finish this one. I consumed so much media in the span of just 3~4 months that I had to sit down and list everything down because I couldn't remember most of it. It's a good thing that I'd already gotten into the habit of writing about memorable manga and shows in my journal, so that made things a bit easier. As for life at the moment, it's been more or less the same. Slow and steady. That said, things have been a bit uneventful as of late, so I couldn't find a photo to use for this post. I wanted to use one that I hadn't already shared before. I found this photo that Aian took of me while we were in KL. It's a photo of me doing some late-night journaling in our Airbnb. The place is a mess (like it always is whenever we travel) and it's not a particularly glamorous photo of me, but I like it.

Compared to previous months, February was pretty chill. We had only one event to go to, which was February Komiket. Aside from that, the only other time we went out was to buy groceries. The thing about staying at home is that I get bored pretty easily, so I end up feeling envious whenever I see friends being out and about. But whenever I do get the chance to get out I become super stressed about Manila traffic, so I've learned to appreciate being a homebody a lot more. That said, staying at home most of the time means I won't always have new and interesting content to share. I hope you guys are okay with posts that are 90% cat photos!

Just some photos from this year's Bon Odori Festival at Manila Japanese School. It's a yearly event that we've been attending since 2015 (although we missed the 2017 one, because of bad weather). This year I went with Aian and our friends, Allysa and Henry. We spent most of the day queuing for food, eating, then queueing for more food—which is pretty much what we do every year!
