The Delusional Christmas Wishlist

November 26, 2014

2014 christmas wishlist

This might be the shortest wishlist I will ever write, but it doesn’t mean it’s the cheapest!

I came up with a timeline of my upcoming expenses in 2015. Basically, I have plotted out when I’d buy everything on this list. Just thinking about it made me wonder if I was thinking sane. At this point, I’m starting to think I won’t be able to afford anything on this list. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with hoping/planning, right?

Financially, 2014 has been incredibly difficult (what year wasn’t?!).  Maybe it comes with age, maybe because I really don’t know how to handle my money. But money comes as quickly as it goes. One minute it’s the start of 2014 and I’m figuring out how to save more, the next it’s the end of 2014 and I’m struggling more than ever. Then again, I’ve always been an impulsive buyer.

On a more positive note, I’ve crossed out quite a lot from my birthday wishlist! Oh, so that’s where my money went! [Read more…]

Down the Cu Chi Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh City

November 21, 2014

I’m back with the second half of our second day in Vietnam, with some photos and stories from our excursion down the Cu Chi Tunnels in the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

Just two hours from Saigon, the Cu Chi district is a great destination if you want to have an idea how the Vietnam War was like aside from the photos you see in museums. Here, our tour guide John expertly navigated the “park” with little anecdotes from war and explanations on how the underground system worked.

For a couple of years, many Vietnamese lived underground to avoid capture from U.S. troops. The narrow tunnels worked for the advantage of the small Asians, as the Americans cannot follow them inside. As much as the U.S. soldiers tried to follow them to their hideout, they can only go so far till they got stuck. [Read more…]

Instadump: Hello Again Korea!

November 14, 2014

It hasn’t been a long time since I finished blogging about my trip to Korea last May. Now I’m back with another post about Korea, but this time for my travel this November. It was the first time I went to Korea with friends and not family, and it’s a completely different experience. Though we visited places I’ve been to before, I viewed things with a different set of eyes.

I’ve been questioned a lot on why I keep coming back to Korea, and I cannot give a completely honest answer because it’ll take me hours to say why. So they ask instead if it’s really beautiful, and I answer with a wholehearted ‘yes!’

Maybe because it’s Autumn when we visited, but everything looked golden.

Before I dive into a full-blown blogging of the trip, I’ll update you first with the Instagram photos I took during the entire week I traveled back and forth between Seoul and Busan. Everything—from random alleys to fallen leaves to dingy street lamps—is so photogenic that I took a lot of photos. [Read more…]

Hello, I'm Janey. I'm a fangirl, a bookworm, a dreamer and a wannabe writer. I'm a couch potato and a traveler rolled into one.
This is my lame attempt to be a travel blogger, but honestly, this is just an archive of my daily reality.
