One of Queenstown locals' traditions; going to the Remarkables Winter Market


(official link to website: Remarkables Market)

I have to say, going to these markets have begun to become a tradition for us Queenstown locals. And not just Queenstown locals. There are plenty of tourists too who a snap tons of photos when they arrive at this massive place; the Remarkables Market. The Remarkables Market consists of stalls ranging from delicious, mouth-watering foods, to creative works such as handmade jewelry, clothing, crochet items, or art pieces to display in your home. It is a must that you have to go to one of these markets and be overwhelmed by all the options you're given in every where you look.


Overall experience:
Handmade goodies galore~!
What I absolutely loved the most to this market was how everything that was sold were all individually unique and just so interesting to browse through. There was especially this super cutesy jewelry stall called Beyond The Hue that caught my attention immediately (and one I actually bought a pair of earrings from from the past). The stall's stunning jewelry is worth every cent, selling not just earrings, but also necklaces, bracelets and phone straps crafted to elegance and colour with resin. 

Tips when you go to one of these markets:
~ This place is highly recommended to be accompanied with close family and/or friends. 

~ Please find their socials to check for frequent updates about what's going to be on in the market

~ Check the weather forecast beforehand so that you can be prepared: this market is mostly held outdoors
In my opinion, I found the best part to browse at things at this market was the inner section (the shed-like structure in right photo), simply because I'm a huge lover for handmade items that you can keep as memories or keepsakes really, and the inner part of the market has a wide selection of that category. Jewelry, clothing, art pieces, cute crocheted items, you name it. And plus, there's plenty of stalls in this particular area that's affordable, so keep in mind that you don't have to bring a lot of money with you to enjoy your time here :).


(I actually bought a pair of earrings from a talented 11-year old kid who sells them and makes them herself!)

(there was also a live band in the area the photo in the left was in, just another photo opportunity!)

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...

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...

~ 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...
