Lifely Updates #10

Happy New Year to yáll! How do I even compose my post for my December update? I am still reeling from all the happiness that the world has granted me. Yes, Odette was painful and sad but at the end of the day, you have to haul yourself out from the quagmire that you’re drowning into. And so, after celebrating Christmas with my family, off I went to Cebu to celebrate 2021’s culmination and the 2022 New Year with my beloved. My arrival was met with power outage, non-stop rain, no internet signal, and limited water supply. But worst of…

Book Review: The Last Fallen Star

The heavens must be conspiring to provide me lots of venues to explore the Korean culture because I came across the Last Fallen Star when most of my K-drama picks this year bored me to tears which led me to DNF a lot of them. Thankfully, this book came into existence, hence, my study of the Korean culture was not hindered. Reading the Last Fallen Star made me feel all sorts of cute and giggly feelings because beyond all the Korean Mythology elements, it’s a heartwarming tale about family. Riley Oh, our protagonist, is a human child who was adopted…
