Kat's Notebook

2011 brought me to a lot of places. I seemed to have this mission of exploring the world and checking off the places in my travel bucket list. I also would think that it would be the end of the world in 2012 so I should visit these wonderful places before the end happens. Fortunately [...]

After my birthday dinner celebration, my family decided to go to the Global Winter Wonderland in Santa Clara. I got GetMYPerks vouchers which allowed me to buy the tickets for half its price (12USD). Before arriving to the event, I already have lowered my expectations with this place having read user reviews from Yelp and [...]

One of the must do things in my Japan trip was to wear a kimono. When I was younger I watched anime and Japanese shows and I loved those characters wearing kimono and I yearned to wear one too. So when we came to Kyoto, my sisters and I rented a kimono and walked around [...]

I had lots of laughs from Shopping! and expected the same thing for Part of 2 since they both have the same writer and director, Morris Bobrow. Furthermore, Party of 2 aptly coincided with my situation right now…that of [...]

Who knew I would be a fan of Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano? I, who don’t listen to Filipino OPM music or watch much Filipino movies or TV shows. But for some reason I love these singers. I enjoy listening to them especially in their concert, titled “As one part 2”, which I watched last [...]

Japan is my dream vacation. I have actually planned to go there this year (which I have been planning for about 2 years now) but with the recent earthquake and radiation crisis there, I guess it’s going to be postponed again. So to keep up my love for Japan, I have decided to attend the [...]
