Delicious in Dungeon & Maomomiji Exhibition @ Gallery Nucleus Hi everyone~ Thanks for coming back to today’s blog! It’s been a hot second since Gallery Nucleus had closed down the Delicious in Dungeon & Maomomiji Solo Exhibition, but I was able to see it the week after it had its grand opening! I had visited the exhibition primarily because I’m a huge fan of the artist Maomomiji. I had found their work online via twitter way back when, but it was great to be able to see their work in person for the first time, thanks to this exhibit.

Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy Preview Screening Experience & Movie Review [contains spoilers] Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I had gotten the chance to blog, as my schedule and to do list has been quite insane. I’m pretty backlogged all the way back until November, but I wanted to release this post as soon as possible to share my experience attending the ORV preview screening and my take on the movie as the general consensus online has been somewhat severe.

Purin Cafe, Harajuku JP 久しぶりみんなさん～! I'm trying to get better at blogging these days. It's a little hard right now to keep up with blogging as a hobby, despite having finally recovered (mostly) from health issues. I'm still currently juggling two part time jobs (costuming rental house, nonprofit management and event coordination), five freelance jobs (freelance costuming, 1099 social media management, 1099 digital media marketing, small business consultation & advising , and 1099 educational & creative workshop coordination), on top of already being a full time business & marketing major college student (currently enrolled in 15 credits for 2025 Spring, and 17 credits for 2025 Summer).

O.Beem, Koreatown Hello again everyone! I hope you're all doing well~ A little while ago, in December specifically, Hannah and I had gone to Koreatown in Los Angeles to get some things done. During our little trek in LA, we stumbled across a fairly new cafe called O.Beem! The cafe was directly across from the Shin Ramen house popup, so it took us by surprise when we were stumbling through to look for something at the H.Mart downstairs.

Tết Nguyên Đán , Garden Grove 2025 Hello friends~ I'm back again to chat about two fun little experiences that I got to enjoy together with my friends! For those who don't know, I'm Filipino. With that information, Filipinos don't generally celebrate Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year. Oftentimes, my friends are the ones that graciously invite me to events each time and I'm super happy and excited to be able to enjoy good times together with them.

Honestly I’m trying really hard to not lose my mind with everything happening in all forms… because it really feels like everything is combusting at once..

Absolutely terrified of losing my sanity and wellbeing to hysteria

IRS Free File: Do your taxes for free | Internal Revenue Service Prepare and file your federal income tax return online for free. File at an IRS partner site with the IRS Free File Program or use Free File Fillable Forms. It's safe, easy and no cost to you.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:

DO NOT USE TURBOTAX.

THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.

Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Hadn’t done rug tufting in the slightest since my college days in 2017, but also made a rug 🫶💕

Client from work needed some major hemming alterations done for their rental 📦 the fabric was notably too visible for the only solution that wouldn’t distort the visuals of the gown

Best scenario for the project? Cover ups using complimentary embellishments to match their headpieces ✔️

Not finalized or finished in its final form (most pieces are missing), but good enough for now until round 4 of refitting and alterations post first whirlwind from being out and about

Made a “turban” headpiece for a church production of “The Birth of Jesus Christ”
