Posted on by wheressherlyn

Macau deserves to be appreciated more as a travel destination. Just saying. With a show of hands (assuming I’m TED-talking here), how many of you have actually traveled to Macau? With ‘actually traveled’, I mean not as a day tour from Hong Kong. I’m asking because a lot of people I know treat Macau as…

#11: Judgers gonna judge, Potatoes gonna potate.

“Why are you posting photos at the beach in a swimsuit? Aren’t you teaching in uni?” Some people had the audacity to intervene with my life and asked me this question. I just finished watching the reality show @thecirclenetflix and I could relate with what @itsssammiee said about someone questioning her on posting photos in a bikini despite having…

#9: Ugh, Can’t Wait to Start over in 2021.

Posted on by wheressherlyn

TO ME, 2020 HASN’T ACTUALLY STARTED YET. But as they say, “The show must go on.” Are you spending quarantine in your hometowns?

A Chill Morning Routine (Daily Blog #4)

Posted on by wheressherlyn

If I’m being honest, I don’t have a super fixed ‘morning routine’ (or whatever you wanna call it). A lot of friends of mine would know that I hate routines, so much. I hate repeating things, I am a person of spontaneity, and I always look forward to surprises that could happen every single day….

At the same time, I can be the quirkiest and most passionate (self-proclaimed and…
