Life is a Beautiful Thing

The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. ~ Homaru Cantu

Just decided to make a post with my favorite flower of all time. It's funny how I've liked them so much even before I've seen them with my very own eyes. It's really beautiful but at the same time, fragile. It falls easily even in the slightest wind and their petals drop easily and yet when it is at it's full bloom, it's one of the most beautiful thing in the world. Well, at least to me that is.

Birthday Explosion Card Box (Tutorial)

Once again, I'm in my happy place. Immersing myself in doing arts and craft is one of my happiest moments. I found myself working on a project after such a long break from it.

It's called an explosion card box because it looks like a pretty normal gift box with the lid on. Once you take the lid off the box, the card sort of opens out (like a little explosion taking place).

This time I decided to do a step-by-step tutorial on creating this piece. Here's a sneak peek on my final product!

Simple Korean Survival Phrases!

Korean language is becoming a popular language to learn these days, thanks to the rising KPOP music industry as well as the Korean dramas, movies and variety shows which have overtaken the JPOP era.

I have compiled some of the common phrases that you might hear or need to use when you encounter with the locals. It's a short lesson that will suffice for getting around in Korea.

One of the important thing to note about the language is that it comes in formal and informal manner. Formal manner (jondaemal 존대말) is often used when speaking to people who are older than you or to strangers. It's a commonly used form to show respect during the conversation. The informal manner (banmal 반말) is only used with those who are close to you. It signifies closeness if used with people of same age or younger than you but it's disrespectful to use it when speaking with those who are older than you. Therefore, it will be more appropriate to learn the Formal Manner of Korean language for a start.

Sydney, City of Lights

One of my recent travels was to Sydney, Australia. Indeed the name City of Lights befits the City of Sydney as it transforms into a spectacular canvas of lights as the night falls.
