(Not that it’s too late, I actually posted this on another platform but I feel like updating this good ol’ online home too so here we are, two months later.)
So, yeah, my birthday! Another birthday spent in quarantine.
Turning 30 feels momentous but to be honest, the day passed by like any other previous birthdays. Maybe our expectations of getting to be full grown adults are really high when we are young, only to be met with bouts of reality in which you’d realize that living is a process of never-ending learnings and creation and life is not going to drastically change when you reach a certain age.
Either way, our lives deserved to be celebrated. The fact that even though we struggle everyday and we are still alive is already a reason to be happy and grateful.
EXPECTATIONS vs REALITY
When I was a teen, I thought I probably would be married and that I’d already have kids by now. The hopeful romantic in me really is hopeful in all sense. Fast forward to my 30th year in existence and I am still single as a pringle. It doesn’t feel like I am missing something by not having started a family of my own at this point, though.
My status should not define who I really am as a person. Besides, I can say that I am happy and that’s what’s important. Depending on your own perspective, you can set certain goals and priorities while being hopeful that all will come into fruition in its proper time, be it with regards to your love life or life in general.
Oh, I have three kids now. Well, fur-babies. And they are what’s keeping me busy recently.
The Idea of Success
As a youngster, my idea of success is vague. Younger me just want to be successful, is all. Of what? Even the older me can’t answer that, I’m afraid. And there is no rush to figure out what you want to be or what you would like to achieve. In fact, a lot of successful individuals have only realized their life’s missions and pursued their passion later in their lives. Our different time zones should not make us feel bad when people are accomplishing theirs and if it feels like other people’s lives are flourishing while yours in still under construction.
I’ve felt like I have reached rock bottom plenty of times but those times taught me to fight and strive harder to be closer to my dreams. And we get to keep on keeping on, that’s for sure.
Those who don’t have a dream, it’s okay, it’s okay if you don’t have a dream. You just have to be happy. - Min Yoongi
One thing that comes with the age is we are now more mindful of our finances and we are thinking of long-term effects of our daily decisions (this is what I wish I’ve learned early on.) and we continue to learn everyday (I feel like reiterating every single time because it is the truth).
We have to learn to not be too critical of ourselves.
We got to accept that even if plans won’t initially work, worrying about something that is not even a problem yet will not be beneficial to our mental state especially at this point.
We also realize that we are not getting any younger and we have to take care of our bodies. Body pain maybe constant but our health is the most important.
The 20’s..... I’ll forever be grateful of how my life has been. I was able to explore to my heart’s content, go to places I’ve only ever dreamed of as a kid and met amazing people along the way. Just when you thought you are having the worst days, provisions from above will come to you in ways you would never have expected.
And so, with that... yes. Your girl is three decades old.
I wish I could come up with wiser, longer words but there’s still so much to learn and explore. The pandemic may have deprived me two years of my late twenties that I could have spent doing other things that I love the most like traveling, watching live gigs and all but still, I’ve realised recently that it has given me a luxury not all are privileged to have: days spent with my loved ones (all healthy, thank You Lord!) and three cats (while baking, crocheting, playing instruments and the list goes on.)
Everyday is still a struggle and things will not always go according to our plans but what about it? We’ll live on and there’s still a better future that we can look forward to.
Remember to be kind and practice Proverbs 16:24 if you can.
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
I am excited for the BE album because it has been a while since BTS has released an album more than anything else and this Blue & Grey review (the song that has resonated with me the most) has been sitting in my blog drafts since its release but for some odd reasons I wasn’t able to finish, well, until today — the last day of fugging 2020.
Thinking about it, the song is fitting because it feels like it has been the mood since the lockdown has started in March.
Who would have thought?
January has started normally with it being the “longest” month. But that’s how it’s always felt after coming from the short Christmas vacation. I remember Taal Volcano erupting (January 12) on my way home and seeing shards of particles but didn’t think of the worse until I saw it in the news. Also, it is the start of wearing N95 masks for protection. The demand then is really high that most stores are out-of-stock.
I remember waking up in the early hours of January 26th and seeing Kobe Bryant trending on Twitter, only to find out that he’s tragically died on a helicopter crash in California along with his daughter.
I remember pushing through with our well-deserved weekend getaway in Baguio. Situations may have been gloomy and COVID scare is looming then so we had worn masks for extra protection.
I still get to cover a few musical events and watch live ballgames earlier this year.
I remember having to go to work on March 16th experiencing the more restricted travel/commute protocol in the MRT. The moment in the office when the lockdown is officially announced is vivid and it certainly made us realise that the situation is worse than expected. I remember how I luckily get to meet up with my friend, experienced a minor mishap in the middle of NLEX on our way home and got into to my aunt’s house and stayed there for a few months, was allowed to work from home and all that.
Never would we have thought that it will be like how it is today.
Ten months later we are still at a lost collectively, but life went on.
I wrote “Blue & Grey” when I was at my lowest point, when I was actually asking whether I could keep going with my work or not. Even the fun parts of work became a chore, and my whole life felt aimless. “Where do I go from here? I can’t even see the end of the tunnel.” Those kinds of thoughts hit me hard. - Taehyung on writing Blue & Grey
In a span of months, COVID-19 has taken away innocent lives. It has taken away the sources of living for most of our countrymen, too.
The experiences where my other passion is being directed has been taken away from me as I don’t get to cover events and write on the side anymore. We also had to cancel our Korea trip in June.
On the brighter side, I still have a day job and the family is healthy. And life went on.
We followed all the safety procedures because in a country where good governance is almost non-existent you got to do what you do to stay safe. You’re all by yourself.
I gladly spent my birthday on a lockdown and lived on video calls and online streaming/concerts.
My sister got married this year. It’s just a simple, intimate family gathering and yet it’s all we could ever hope for.
I was able to see the growth of my cousins’ quarantine doggos for five months. We may have spent a lot on food delivery services and tried every trending snacks (dalgona coffee, ube cheese pandesal, baked sushi and the likes) and bond.
Who would have thought staying at home can also be so eventful? It all depends on everyone’s perspectives (and to some extent, privilege).
Rather than just some stranger telling them to cheer up, I think it’s better to say something like, “You seem depressed lately,” or, “Seems like these days it’s tough for you to perk up.” “Blue & Grey” is the same: “You’re depressed lately? Me too. We’re in the same boat. Wanna talk about how you’re feeling? You wanna feel better, right? I know, but sometimes it feels like you’re being washed away by a whirlpool of stress.” I want the listeners to hear me saying that to them. - Kim Taehyung
Then there’s BTS and all their contents, an unexpected but a welcome company. Hanging out with friends albeit only online has made the “grey” months extra bearable. Every Gaya Sa Pelikula Fridays and the banlaw sessions that follow are a breathe of fresh air. Also, those are reminders that the battle against discrimination and micro aggressions is really out there.
Even so, there are nights when worries would take over and you’d just cry yourself to sleep. When everything feels uncertain and it gets overwhelming and you’re alone with your thoughts. But that is fine.
Sometimes you don’t need people to reassure you that things are going to be okay. Sometimes you just need them to be there with you as they empathize in silence. And there is nothing wrong with that, too.
It is okay to not feel okay, to “space out” and live in your darkest. Soon it will get better. Soon, like Taehyung, there will be “good nights” instead of “I passed out because I am exhausted.”
It is okay to long to be happier because we certainly deserve it. Sometimes, we just need to look harder. Other times, we have to create it for ourselves.
Where is my angel?
The end of the day
Someone come and save me, please
A weary sigh of a tiring day
I guess everyone's happy
Can you look at me? 'Cause I am blue and grey
The meaning of the tears reflected in the mirror
My color hidden with a smile, blue and grey
I don't know where it went wrong
Since my youth, I've had a blue question mark in my head
Maybе that's why I've been living so fiercely
But whеn I look back, I'm all by myself
That hazy shadow that swallows me up
The blue question mark still exists
Is it anxiety or depression?
How am I so regretful?
Or is it just me, one that loneliness gave birth to
I still don't know, the ferocious blue
I hope I don't erode away, I'll find the exit
I just wanna be happier
To melt the cold me
My hands have reached out countless times
Colorless echo
Oh, this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
I just wanna be happier
Am I being too greedy?
I felt when I walked on the cold winter streets
The sound of my fast heartbeat breathing
I still feel it
Don't say it's okay
'Cause it's not okay
Please don't leave me alone, it hurts too much
On the road I always walk
There is a light that always shines
But today, the scene feels unfamiliar
Is it dull or is it broken?
This lump of metal feels heavy
A grey rhino is approaching
I'm just standing there without focus
I don't feel like myself at this moment
I'm just not scared
I don't believe in a God called conviction
Words like color make me cringe
A vast grey area is way more comfortable
Hundreds of millions of grey facial expressions here
When it rains, it's my world
I dance over this city
On a clear day, bring some fog
On rainy days, we're always together
A toast to all the dust here
I just wanna be happier
Please feel the warmth of my hands
They're not warm, so I need you more
Oh, this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
In the distant future, when I smile
I'll tell you I did
After secretly sending my words up into the air
Now I fall asleep at dawn, good night

The government’s response to the pandemic situation is still the worst. There’s still EJKs, police brutality and misogyny everywhere. Blatant corruption that is being deemed as “justified “. Sometimes it feels like we only have ourselves.
But cheers, 2020! Despite everything, you will be remembered as the year of strength, delayed plans, blessings and redirection. Grateful for the times that we’re able to gather the strength to proceed and to live. There’s The guidance from up above that’s keeping us going.
2021, you are such a promise. I look forward to the better days ahead, and to the blessings in different forms that we are bound to receive. Also, to the opportunities to become a better me.
Ever been touched by a person or a place so deeply? Here I am, a year later, writing about you. Longing for you.
Seoul.
What’s so special about you, Seoul?
It’s been too long. And yet, everything is still so vivid.
I remember having tough couple of days at work with only this trip to look forward to, motivating me every day. I can still recall the anxiety that I’ve felt while applying for the VISA (which is even more terrifying than when we applied for Japan, not gonna lie) and the relief when we received mostly positive results (A friend was denied initially and had to reapply to another local embassy due to some reasons but she still made it in time. It was truly meant to be). I can still feel the excitement of landing our feet in your soil for the first time and breathing in the same summer air.
Another dream that came true through God’s amazing provisions. I am truly grateful.
I am also glad that we were able to experience Korea before this pandemic situation happened. Actually, we have tickets booked in June 2020 but we could not push through because of the current situation. 2020, you are full of surprises. Here’s to praying that the situation will get better and God-willing, we will get to come back. But for now, let us reminisce.
Five days. No, scratch that. Actually, we only had four full days to spend because our round trip flights are set on a Monday morning and Friday at noon. We endured an eventful itinerary living and loving you with no regrets.
We planned everything thoroughly with our schedule set from the wee hours of dawn to the closing moments of Seoul Station at night time. Also, we took notes of the estimated expenses down to the very last Won. We also kept track of the k-drama locations that we would like to visit beforehand so the information would be handy and we would only worry about navigating onto the actual place. But of course there are circumstances that we cannot anticipate like the delays and the weather. It didn’t stop us from having the best experiences together, though.
***
Buses with changing landscapes even when I'm sitting still
And similar buildings actually varying a little
Scent of life that could be disgusting or not
And the cold parks pretending to be warm
***
Ready for takeoff.
D-1 is particularly a long one as we almost have no sleep due to excitement..... not really, but mostly because we all are hailing from the province and we need to head early to catch a 7 AM flight.
The next thing we know, we are at the Incheon International Airport and so the adventure begins.
After claiming our Flytpack (wifi) weeks ago and our Discover Seoul BTS Special Edition Passes in the airport,we availed the free AREX Airport Express Train ride to Seoul Station. The whole ride gives a glimpse of the fine distinction of every facet of the city.
What happens behind the scenes
v
The first day is all about the city’s youthful side, reminiscent of our university days. Roaming around Ehwa Women’s University, Hongik University and the streets of Hongdae made me miss the times when I am also a student.... hopeful of the opportunities of the world. Today, I am still learning the ropes. And I am still hopeful.
Seoul's nuance in pictures
Feeding the Potterhead in us, we went to visit the outskirts of Hongdae leading to the 943 King’s Cross Harry Potter Cafe. We only took photos outside, though because of the time constraint.
Harry Potter-ing everywhere we go
We also watched the buskers on the streets. Everything is lively and bright.
We ended the night visiting the flagship store of LINE in Itaewon.
***
People who always have to wander
And the Han Rivers that bear too much Han
And the swings that can't look at the sky on their own
And the kids all grown up, and me who’s a little late
***
D-2 is all about Namjooning (nature-tripping) also known as the Nami Island/Morning Calm Arboretum Tour and what a calming trip that was. We are lucky that the weather is also on our side as it is forecasted that it will be a rainy week ahead but our Nami trip is all sunshine and literal daisies and every flowers that you can think of.
The Garden of the Morning Calm
Aegyo-ing at Nami Islandㅋㅋ
Sana all may ka-Park Bo Gum uwu
(Love in the Moonlight shoot location)
My Love From Another Star? Petite France is such a dream.
Sarreh Cheon Song Yi, I had to. But I love you and Do Min Joon both!!
Dongdaemun is where we first experienced the night life on the streets, trying out their authentic tteokbokki and japchae and communicating with the locals among others.
Random food finds
D-3 is all about BTS (the Gangnam Tour) in which I have a separate post that you could also read here.
It is already raining occasionally in D-3 and it feels like it has prepared us for the downpour. D-4 appeared to be the most challenging one with the rain continuing to get ahead of us. Oh, rainy Seoul. That’s the only part that I don’t really miss.
Kween?
Another "BTS"
Later that day we realised that we skipped the eating-at-a-proper-restaurant in the itinerary part to save the time that we missed off being stuck in the palace for hours because odf the rain while being on our rented Hanboks. Part of the budget-friendly itinerary is living off 24-hour convenience stores and it has saved us that day and to be honest, it is not that bad. Those stores have better varieties of microwaveable dishes and instant noodles that are just as good, anyway. We were able to tick off reenacting our favourite k-drama shots at the Changdeokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the N-Seoul Tower and Heo Joon Jae’s house (Legend of the Blue Sea location) because of that minor sacrifice.
Our age is showing heh. But here's me reenacting that scene
from the kdrama, The Heirs.
Yong-hwa oppa, why didn't you wait for me ╥﹏╥
It was fogging and raining so hard that we cannot see anything that we almost lost hope. But the sun revealed itself towards the end.
That's our travel buddy RJ at the Observatory. As you can barely see,
it was raining really hard that day. But we're glad that the sky has cleared out
towards night time.
Also, Gu Jun Pyo's "hininga" for my Meteor Garden collection. jk
What’s good in Myeongdong? Yes, the shopping district lived up to the hype. This was where we bought most of our souvenir items and skin care hauls. Lastly, who’s not to miss the authentic Bulgogi at the airport?
A merge of Korea's past and present
It feels like Namjoon has made some valid points on his song Seoul off his EP, mono. It was actually my whole vibe on the whole trip. From watching re-runs of 너의 목소리가 보여 (I Can See Your Voice) and other shows on the local channels (without the subtitles) to the seemingly endless walks through the steep streets, there are still things that we wished we could have done like noraebang (karaoke) or do a proper mini-hike in the mountains but it feels like we lived and immersed with the their culture as much as we can, within the time frame that we had.
It also gives us more reason to come back. We’ll see.
The place may not be on top of my list and there are other places that I can say that are even better in many aspects but there is just something about Seoul that makes it feel so homey and safe. The place embodies the nuance of modernization and cultural heritage perfectly. We have seen enough and yet there are still a lot to see. Seoul, you truly are something.
City and greens.
I’m living you.
I’m loving you.
Seoul's skyline
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면
(If love and hate are the same words)
I love you, Seoul.
Until we meet again.
I had the moments immortalized on a Photobook. It is so pretty, eh?
Seoul, September 2-6, 2019
***
I also posted a vlog last year, and since we are at it, let me share this with you again here.
If you’re a travel junkie, more so if you are a K-drama or K-pop fanatic, Seoul, South Korea is most likely on top of your travel bucket list. And who could blame you, the place is rich in culture and beautiful sceneries that could touch your soul in different ways: be it within the feels of the bustling city or the calmness of its park and forestry. Here specifically I am to jot down a list of the most basic locations a BTS ARMY could go to when you visit your beloved’s home country. 갈까요? (Shall we go?)
A little trip down memory lane: My best friend got hooked after seeing BTS in concert (as a chaperone to her niece) in 2017 and needless to say, slowly but surely, she got me fascinated with the group since then too (and to some point I’m probably more hooked than she is now. Oh, my old blogs about not having that one ult group did not age well. From CNBLUE to being in denial, now here we are) and being a supportive friend that I am, it was decided then that we, along with our friends, should experience Seoul the Bangtan way: together.
As the group gets more well-known and with the number of side projects, RUN BTS, music video, photo shoots and endorsements that they now have, the number of BTS-related locations also multiplies. But it is fun and nostalgic to see (and experience indirectly) where the dreams have all started. It is almost strategic as well because most of the locations are within the Gangnam area since the management’s old office is located there.
Having such limited time (we only stayed in Seoul for five days) and a vast number of sample itineraries used to plan the budget-friendly itinerary thoroughly, here’s what we came up with for our mini-BTS tour.
어서 와 방탄은 처음이지?
Eoseo wa bangtaneun cheoeumiji?
(Welcome, first time with BTS?)
BTS ARMY, we got you!
What you (always) need:
Naver Maps app, your best 친구입니다 (friend)
T-Money card for easy train travels
A travel buddy (your friends, your BT21 plushies or a Funko Pop)
BTS TOUR 2019
(Also known as the Gangnam Tour)
Station 1 - NAMJOONING at Seoul Forest
Seoul Forest
Location: 273 Ttukseom-ro, Seongsu-dong 1(il)-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea
What you will see:
SUGA’s culvert location for Love Yourself promotional poster (Children’s Playground)
RM’s Chair, a fansite-driven attraction at Seoul Forest (near attraction 15)
Oh, this was fun. RM’s Chair is located in the heart of Seoul Forest so we had a good, refreshing walk early in our itinerary. You will see the culvert area first (just make sure to check the forest map, okay?). It was drizzling that morning giving the walk a more chill vibe. Forever Rain from Namjoon’s second EP, mono is playing in my mind the whole time.
The Seoul Forest
"We are each other's nightscape. We are each other's moon.”
Ah, instant healing, indeed.
My friend is Yoongi-biased so we had to reenact this scene, obviously.
Last year, a Namjoon fansite has organized a tree planting project (RM Forest) in Jamsil area and this year, a Seokjin fansite has initiated a “chair” in the park for Jin as well. Something to look forward to should we all get to come back after this whole pandemic situation.
***
Station 2 - A Gen 2/3 MULTI’s HEAVEN
K-Star Gangnamdol Road
Location: Apgujeong Rodeo Station, exit 2
The BTS Gangnamdol (12) is a staple tourist spot because it is free and very accessible. You could also find other groups like 4Minute, Super Junior, 2PM, FT Island, SHINee, Miss A, CNBLUE, TVXQ!, Girls’ Generation, EXO, AOA, B1A4, VIXX, INFINITE, KARA and Block B in here.
Multis are definitely going to enjoy this part as JYP Ent building, Cube and FNC Entertainment building can also be found in this stretch. However since we already have a full day of schedule, we didn’t go to said locations.
***
Station 3 - SWEETER THAN SWEET (refreshing teas)
The MIN’s Cafe
Location: Apgujeong-ro 330, 01-112, Seoul, South Korea (Apgujeong Station Exit: 6)
This quaint little cafe owned and managed by 2AM Changmin and his family is a must-visit location for the OG ARMYs and it will definitely incite good old memories as the members used to go there in their pre-debut days. Now it is adorned by their signed albums and stuff.
The father says to order Five Berries Tea... because it’s Bangtan’s favorite and it tastes so refreshing, no wonder they like it a lot.
***
Station 4 - LUNCH TIME, BANGTAN STYLE
Yoojung Sikdang restaurant
Location: 8-8 Nonhyeon 1(il)-dongSeoul, 135-011
This location will also take you down memory lane. It is also heartwarming how ahjumma (the owner) still calls the boys by their real names and how sweet it is whenever she shares stories about them.
Sausage stew (Yoongi’s pick) - a little disclaimer to those who are not a fan of spicy dishes, though. It is spicy but it is also very good.
They also have a vegetarian bibimbap for those who cannot have meat.
(The social media managers are also nice, they even commented on my Instagram post about the restaurant so make sure to give them some love when you go there, too.)
***
Station 5 - BT21 MADNESS!
LINE Store
Location: Itaewon/Gangnam/Myeongdong
Reminder: Fangirling doesn’t have to be expensive. It is okay to splurge a bit sometimes but only within your means, though.
These cuties make you want to take a piece of them home. And just like their appas, they are also everywhere! Name it! From plushies to cutlery and home necessities, there is a BT21 item for you.
Personally, BT21 is one of the reasons that furtherly drove me to appreciating BTS and their artistic side (aside from their music). I loved the fact that these creatures and their universe are from their initial sketches and ideas. I even used to joke how I am a BT21 stan before BTS. And yes, I have acquired a lot of TATA in the past few years, bought during international travels and even on the official local shop.
***
Station 6 - Reminisce the VMIN comic book cafe date!
We were still full from our scrumptious lunch at Yoojung Sikdang so we didn’t get to try the same menu that Taehyung and Jimin have ordered. But we did try some drinks and checked out the manga on the shelves.
Also, we took some photos as this comic book cafe is also a previous RUN BTS location.
***
Station 7 - HIGH FIVE!
Star Avenue at Lotte Department Store
Location: 1F, Main Branch of LOTTE Department Store, 30, Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul
Opening Hours : 08:30 ~ 21:30
We took photos of the hand prints and the closest to my hand’s size is Jimin’s.
***
BONUS:
Jamsil Olympic Stadium (Love Yourself/Speak Yourself The Final concert location)— We were in Seoul a month before The Final concert is taking place and since we were headed to SMTOWN (which is sadly inoperational in this present day) the very same day, we also went to take pictures of this historic place.
Old Bighit Entertainment office — We did find the office after being lost in the residential areas of Gangnam (Despite using the ever reliable Naver Maps). However, since Bighit has transferred offices, the old building has other present occupants and it feels wrong and creepy to take photos even of the outside vicinity so we didn’t do it and we just treasured the moments that we had while searching for the place (all while the rain is pouring hard).
BTS is literally everywhere. We were in Korea on Jungkook’s birthday week so there are a lot of fansite subway ad projects that we were able to see, too.
***
There are a lot of factors that we have considered while coming up with this itinerary. Say for one, we visited these places off-comeback season so we were able to access the places easily.
Yoojung Sikdang is always packed when there’s a BTS concert looming around. This is because international fans are making sure to check this one off their BTS bucket list as well. But as for us, since it is on a weekday plus there is no official BTS schedule then, we didn’t have to wait longer outside even though it is already lunchtime when we visited. Some of my friends have to wait for hours in the cold just to be able to taste the best bibimbap themselves.
We even did score the whole place all by ourselves at one point. We were the only customers at The Min’s and we get to have a bit of small talk with the owner too.
The “VMIN” Café is placed under renovation a month after we visited so I think the universe has really conspired for us to be able to visit the place before that. Unless the soulmates or BTS hails the place again in the future, the feels won’t be the same should they reopen soon, right? But it is still worth it, eh?
We went to the LOTTE MALL Star Avenue near its closing time so there are less people lurking around the actual hand prints. However, there are a lot of people on their way home but despite that minor miscalculation we still managed to get a few snaps.
Lastly, we have The Laundry Pizza (the location for Love Yourself: Her album photoshoots) on our itinerary initially but the fatigue factor has already set in plus the occasional pouring of the rain is draining our energy so we collectively decided to already call it a day and we just spent the remaining time that we had shopping in Gangnam’s underground markets.
THE OFFICIAL GANGNAM TOUR ITINERARY
(with breakdown of estimated expenses)
We did this Bangtan Tour (excluding the Star Avenue) in just one day. *Haruman plays in the background* This was in 2019 so there may be a lot of changes in the forex and prices but can you believe we only spent around 50,000 KR Won (2000php) for this tour?
There are a lot more to explore especially these days. Personally I’d like to visit Daegu (Taehyung and Yoongi’s hometown) and experience the beaches of Busan but unfortunately we didn’t get to squeeze it in. No regrets, though because we had the time of our lives then. It is also good to have something to look forward to after everything that is happening in the world. Daegu and Busan will be on the new list when we get back. Hopefully.
What was your favourite part of our trip? (Dora, is that you?)

AN INTRO
Well, hello there, you lovely! Here's me being at my most random. If I am not dealing with structural designs and engineering/estimating stuff, I probably am just creepin' somewhere... spreading The Word in my own little ways and/or appreciating the little things (basically cats, music and books). Also, I write about them sometimes.
If you aren't the reading type and you wish to talk longer or if you've got suggestions and such, chatty type can always reach me here.
Otherwise, welcome to my online home!
