Oh My Janey

The Best Year

Just like that, I turned a year older!

Will this be the best year ever? I am claiming it will be but, not yet, because a week after I turned 32, I, unfortunately, caught Covid for the first time. So yes, dear reader, I am sick in bed as I type this birthday blog post. But don’t worry. I feel a lot better now and can confidently say that I’ll feel even better tomorrow.

Nevertheless, I had an amazing birthday week, though the following week I’m spending in the confines of my bedroom, sleeping, eating, reading, more sleeping, and seeing no one but Eren and the rest of the Attack on Titan gang (I am now on season 3).

Anyway!

Two Years in the Little Red Dot

Two years this month, I packed my bags, left home, and tried my luck in Singapore.

I’ll just stay there for two years, I said.

I’ll just go home if I get homesick, I said.

There’s no guarantee I’ll be able to find a job anyway, I said.

But this week already marked my second year in the Little Red Dot, and I’m already in my second job and in my second home. So much has happened in the past two years, but also so little!

Two years fly by so quickly when you’re in the middle of a pandemic, isn’t it?

Hello, My Thirties!

A couple of years ago, I made it a point to publish a birthday post every year. But life happened and I skipped the last few birthdays. And what do you know? I’m suddenly 31.

I was twenty when I first started this blog, fresh out of college and excited to find out what the real world is all about. I did a good job documenting my early twenties and capturing all my highs and lows. I meticulously recorded all my travels and made a point to do introspective quarterly or yearly reviews of my life.

The past two years, however, remained undocumented, even though I feel like those were my most tumultuous years. I said goodbye to my twenties without a single parting word on this blog.

Life Lately

This is an old photo and I have no photo to illustrate my life lately, lol.

Today was just a regular day, but my shower thoughts went something like, “Oh, it’s that day of the month and I haven’t blogged in 10,000 years. Why don’t I publish an update for my three readers?” So here I am, oversharing again like I had done when I was younger and more impressionable.

Exactly six months ago from today, I found out that I might actually grow old alone, and I’m still trying to live with that fact. It had been a series of tearful weekends, soju nights, impulsive life decisions, useless Shopee purchases, and eye-opening realizations since then.

Printcious Gifts: Customized Shirts, Bags, and Whatnots

For someone who’s not creative at all, I tend to have shirts customized for whatever reason I could think of. Sometimes, I just make lame excuses so I could customize shirts. Be it to attend a KPOP concert and show my bias for my favorite KPOP artists or to wear couple shirts on our anniversary (29-year-old me is cringing, but it was cute then!), I have always enjoyed customizing shirts.

So when Printcious Gifts approached me for a collab, I got excited because it’s been so long since I last had shirts customized. Aside from shirts, they have tons of other products that you can also give as gifts, such as tote bags, caps, lanyards, cushions, phone cases, mugs and so much more.
