I thought of not doing an art summary for this year because I felt like I haven't been as productive as I used to be, and I was afraid to find that I haven't improved at all. But I also wanted to post something here. And I guess it's become some sort of tradition?

Hey, it's been a while.

For lunch on my birthday this year, we ate at the Gudetama Café in Suntec City in Singapore! My mom and I went wearing matching Gudetama shirts from Uniqlo, which we bought before I found out that the cafe existed. I swear it wasn't part of the original plan!

Every year Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome displays a variety of tulips in an event called Tulipmania. It's my mother's dream to see tulips in real life so when she heard about this and the fact that the event happened to fall around my birthday, she immediately jumped on the opportunity. So if you're wondering if this was my choice of activity for my day of evacuation from the womb, there's your answer.

Once when I was in high school, a relative from out of town asked me about nightlife in this city. I had no answer for them because partying has never been and never will be my thing. A college classmate even called me an alien for not having plans on a Friday night, as if wanting a chill evening at home was a completely out of this world concept.

(Listen, I'm not judging you for whatever you like to do on your weekends so mind your own business and leave me to enjoy my "alien" interests, you silly human.)

Today's technology has trained us to expect things to be done RIGHT AWAY. It's too easy to take photos and post them seconds later--too easy that it's become the norm. Back then you had to take your photos to the shop and have them developed for you. These days my mom and our relatives expect the more than a hundred photos I took during our vacation to be posted as soon as we find a WiFi connection.

It's fair to assume that I'm only updating for the sake of updating. That's true, actually. I want to make up for my inactivity last year. I'm not sure what I'll write about when I run out of trips to talk about, but I want to try. At the very least, this year already has more entries than last year.

If you need any more proof that I'm not a fun travel buddy, a terrible human being in general, and the last person you should get to plan itineraries, it's the ArtScience Museum. It's a place I absolutely loved because I am actually a five-year old, but I can't say the same for the Actual Adults who were with me.

It was September three years ago when I first visited the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. While there were still some flowers back then, I highly recommend visiting this place during spring. I know we here near the equator technically don't have a typical "spring" season, but there's this controlled environment or whatever science-y magic they pull off around here, so all the flowers are in bloom and there's a crapton of orchids in display! They're apparently award winning or something.

On Day 2 we headed back to Sentosa to celebrate my mom and my aunt's birthday at Universal Studios Singapore. The truth is I would like to spend my birthday in Tokyo Disney Sea, but I am in no position to make that happen and will never be, so the closest thing I could get is spending someone else's birthday here.

Since I don't really keep up with airline news or whatever, I don't know how I ended up finding out that there are direct flights from our city to Singapore. But this discovery somehow led to my mother deciding to spend her birthday to Singapore, so off we went with my aunt (who she shares a birthday with) and my cousin. As expected of a budget airline with limited flights, our plane was late and we arrived in our destination later than scheduled. When making itineraries, always take into consideration travel times and late planes!

Before heading off to Singapore we got to eat lunch at 1953 Kusina Leticia, a place my brother has been interested in for a while now. It's hard not to be intrigued. The building's exterior is very eye catching with its glass face and minimalist sign in front. Looking in, you can see its simple yet classy interior as well. For a place that sounds "old", it definitely looks very new.

Recently whenever we travel somewhere for a vacation, I am expected to plan the entire thing. It's not really too bad, especially if we're going to a place I'm generally interested in, but this also means if anything doesn't go according to plan, it's all going to be my fault too.

This week was relatively eventful for me, although considering my basis for comparison, I don't think it's really that much. Honestly we spent more time on the road than anything else.

One night while wandering in the basement level of Uptown Place Mall, I looked up what restaurants were there so we could try it for dinner. That's how I discovered that the Hello Kitty Café was on the third floor. We ended up just eating at the dining area of Rustan's (their rotisserie chicken was pretty good, actually), and since the next day ended up being a very busy day, I didn't think of the cafe again.

Does it ever feel like nothing's really going on in your life but at the same time so many things are happening all at once? This happens a lot to me and the past week has been one of those times. This kind of feeling tends to weigh down on me so much that even if there's something worth writing about, I end up not posting at all.

Things that happened the past few days mostly had nothing to do with me, so it's not something for me to write about. Let's talk about other things. Like food!

Hello there! Suddenly it's February! The last few days of January was a blur because I was frantically trying to catch up with Nirvana in Fire 2, which started last December. I completely forgot about it over the holidays so I was more than thirty episodes behind by the time I started! How'd your January go?

This place is something we found completely by chance. It has an eye-catching exterior: a stylish building with colorful window art advertising their menu additions.

In my brother's quest to make ramen at home, he decided it would be a good idea to try out some ramen places in the city. The first one we went to wasn't exactly a "ramen place" because it only had two kinds of ramen on their menu, but it was a nice and cozy place. I imagine it would be a nice place to eat at with friends.

Years ago when a friend turned eighteen, we ate at Tong Yang Shabu-Shabu at Chimes. I remember that as a fairly pleasant experience so when we found out that there was a Tong Yang that would open in SM City Davao, we were looking forward to it.

Depending on whether the week starts on Monday or on Sunday for you, today still counts as the first week of January 2018. Unfortunately the only photos I have to offer for now are low quality ones from my phone and there's really no good excuse for that. But I figured in this case it's better to have some than none at all because I want to break out of the habit of making excuses not to update.

About

As someone who gets too emotionally invested in fictional characters, I also enjoy doing the art thing and pretending to be good at writing amateur fiction. It is unfortunate that I don't get paid to write stuff on this blog but I sure wish I did.
