Soo... what does a blogger like me do other than... write?? (hobbies + interests + little bit of lore about me personally)

 Hi viewers~! I wonder how you guys have been... I've noticed you guys like blogs typically about myself personally, or blogs that have involvement with me. Soo in this blog is more in-depth about my hobbies, so that you get to know a little bit more about my cozy life in New Zealand. 


Ooh... what's this blog gonna cover?
Well I've sort of explained that, but I'll elaborate it more. 
This blog will go through the extracurricular activities I take part in, such as swimming, guitar, or basketball. In fact, those are the three main areas of discussion I'll run though today.
So without further ado, let's get started ~<3


My passion for music and playing the guitar

I love music. It's always been a part of my life, ever since I was born (lowkey sounds like an AGT intro lol) I was super into singing. Doesn't mean I sounded good at the time though. But honestly, as an aspiring musician, I definitely think I have improved over the years. 
And so how did I discover my interest in playing guitar ...


This man in my left. Conan Lee Gray. I have a poster of him in my room, and plan to get more when I attend his concert. He's partially the reason why I had a new-found interest into playing the 6 stringed musical instrument.
At first, the main reason and the only reason was if I learnt how to play guitar, I could cover his songs and play them to my heart's content. But then, that reason changed. I was starting to realise that maybe one day, I should take music more seriously, and continuously keep on improving myself all the time. 
(fun fact: I can actually play roughly 10 different songs on the guitar pretty well, and I've been doing guitar for about 3.5 months. Not that bad...right?)

I love music so much that I'm gonna choose it as my elective for high school next year!! Wish me luck guys, because 6 months is not really a long time, and I'm a bit taken aback by the fact that I'm going to high school in general...

My passion for swimming

my first day in swimming :3
I've been taking up swimming lessons, but only up to now! Before I started taking swimming lessons, I practically learnt the fundamentals of swimming by myself. Strokes such as freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke were stuffs I picked up from observing people and people in swimming competitions. 

I've gotta say, I'm not exactly the best at swimming, but hey, there's always room for improvement for me!! Maybe I'm not the best now, but in the future I will be.



The same for my music journey, I actually loved being in the water for... I kid you not, practically my whole entire life! Ironically though, I only started to think about improving my swimming skills and pursuing it as a hobby about now. I'm planning to take up swimming as one of my primary sports, so if in the future, I hope I get to update you guys on my swimming journey at some point!



Interested... but maybe not pursuing my basketball career...

Don't get me wrong from the subheading. Soo since I really want to expose myself into different areas of passion, I've been considering trying out different sports, and one of them was basketball. The reason behind that is because I had some experience in basketball in the past, and so I thought developing that skill even further would be good for me. But now that I've thought about it...

I don't think I'll pursue basketball in high school as my main sport, if I'm being very honest with you. But nonetheless, basketball is a fun sport, so to people who do play basketball who are reading this, don't take it the wrong way. Some sports aren't meant for everyone. 




For those of you who has been sticking to my side for the past three years of my blog journey, thank you!! I really appreciate all of y'all :3

Recreating K-Pop Demon Hunters Ramyeon!!! (DIY Craft Project)

  *AGGRESSIVE SLURP OF PRE-GAME RAMYEON As you can tell, this blog post needs more... explaining to do.  I'll do exactly that. Picture this, me in my comfortable PJs, a few days after I've watched KPop Demon Hunters, and so obsessed to the point where I have learnt the Soda Pop dance, with nothing to do or to even given a sign that I've watched the show in my blank white room. I thought  Should I do something, and if yes, how?.  I run through things that I could possibly do... Buy merch of KPop Demon Hunters Do nothing because I can't be bothered to or...  I recall the pre-game ramyeon that Huntrix ate before kicking demon butt. It's a picture of them individually but in a more cartoonish style.  What if I... remade it into physical cup noodle form? I did a bit of researching, and eventually I came across a platform that sells homemade gifts and things. That's right, I'm talking about Etsy. From Etsy I saw a deal that was for $7.66 EACH, and it was just for...

And the Chiang Mai escapade continues...

~ DAY 3 ~ January 5th, 2025 >  GINGER FARM kitchen at ONENIMMAN Chiangmai It took me a moment before realising that the ginger farm Ninang was mentioning was not in fact all about ginger. At a glance, if you see the words "ginger farm" at a location, your initial thought process would have been ginger farm = a farm that's thriving with ginger plants. But that wasn't the case. We stepped into the entrance, and by doing so, that also meant stepping into a restaurant. It was an open space area, spaced out with woven chairs and wooden tables, which held the ONE NIMMAN restaurant. This ginger farm is not just ginger. There's a restaurant and even animals! I phrased these words in irritation, almost as if I was angry to myself. What was I thinking... thinking it was just a ginger farm...  " Ah- Hallo! Have you guys... made a reservation for today?" A lady with a heavily-thick Thai accent gestured over to us, her grin soft and gentle. I stared at Ninang, Mum...

My hometown; Pampanga Philippines (ft. my uncles) ❤️

  People in photo left to right -> Ninang, Tito Rain, Tito Ryan, mee :3, Mamu, Mum, Tito Randy, and Tito Nhey A (more literal) family reunion!      My face lit up when I was informed that I would have a brief opportunity to spend time together with my uncle, Tito Rain!      After a long haul from Thailand to the Philippines, we checked in at a nearby hotel situated not so far from the airport. This marked the second-to-last destination of our Asia trip, and I couldn't help but feel a bit dejected by this fact. After all, this trip had been the most fun I'd had in a while.  But spending more time with my family that resided in the Philippines would make me forget some worries or stresses that's gone through my head in absolutely no time.      I wonder when Tito Rain is gonna get here...      Almost seconds after the thought appeared into my mind, Mum receives a phone call and discreetly takes it in the lobby. Eventu...
