I was a huge One Direction fan back in high school and I still listen to their music sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. When it comes to the members' solo careers, I only pay attention to Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Styles has been a hit or miss with me; I hated Fine Line (2019),... Continue Reading →
It’s that time again, where I reflect on this past year and honestly, 2021 was a lot better than 2020! I mean, how could it not be? I bought a lot more CDs to add to my CD collection, I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, I’m on my third writing internship (which... Continue Reading →
After refunding my Def Leppard concert tickets for summer 2020, I decided to purchase new concert tickets for a band that my 13-year-old self never got to see live...One Direction! Well, at least part of One Direction. On June 19, 2020, I purchased two tickets to see Harry Styles at the MGM Grand Garden Arena... Continue Reading →
You can say this is a sequel to my previous post titled, Is YouTube a Distraction or a Lifestyle? That post was from March 6, 2020 (pre-COVID) and I thought it’d be good to do an update on how I feel about that argument. After all, I’ve been stuck mostly at home for the past... Continue Reading →
Before any of you click away, being a One Direction fangirl isn't always rainbows and sunshine; mentally, it has messed me up pretty badly. Like most of my YouTube addictions, I watched interviews and performances of theirs whenever I had the chance. However, I was also comparing myself to the band members' girlfriends. Not that...

First of all, I know I had a collage for last year's post reflecting on 2019, but I didn't do that for 2020 because I didn't do much other than write on my blog, watch a lot of YouTube, and listen to bands such as Def Leppard, AC/DC, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. So nothing special, to be... Continue Reading →
On Monday, Nov. 30, I turned 22 years old, and no, I did not sing Taylor Swift's "22" that day. But it was a great day; I got to see my grandma, I had chicken katsu from L&L for lunch, two of my Amazon CDs came in, I had spring rolls and fried shrimp for... Continue Reading →
I've been taking online classes since March, I believe. It's already November, and we still have yet to find a cure for COVID-19. But enough about that, I want to take the time to do a mental check and talk about my experience with online classes so far. One thing for sure is taking online... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I talked about Steve Clark, but he was an incredible individual. I've never met him, but I wish I did. He has changed my perspective on life and the way I look at different types of music, specifically rock and heavy metal music. I won't get into how Clark died... Continue Reading →
I'm no therapist, but I know what music does to people! There's a song for everything; breakup songs, love songs, sad songs, feel-good songs, and angry songs. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I would play a Def Leppard song and immediately feel better. Over time, I've learned that some tracks aren't the best to... Continue Reading →
