Book review: The Second Chance Convenience Store
written by Kim Ho-yeon, translated by Janet Hong
This is a feel-good story in the truest sense. A quiet, steady narrative about kindness, second chances, and the way unlikely friendships can change lives.

A book by Satoshi Yagisawa, translated by Eric Ozawa
As a reader who loved Days at Morisaki Bookshop, this felt like an obvious choice. I didn’t hesitate before picking it up. I went in expecting a cosy, easy read and in many ways, that expectation was met.
The café itself is warm and inviting, the kind of place that immediately gives you that feel-good comfort. The book is structured as a collection of short stories, each with its own theme, its own emotional centre. On the surface, everything about it feels gentle and familiar.

Read MoreSerendipity’s Embrace – First impression
First of all, let me tell you that I am watching this because of Chae Jong Hyeop. From my experience, he always chooses scripts with green flag boyfriend/lover roles and so I can always be sure that there will be no toxic elements in the drama.
Read MoreFrom Travel Anxiety to Wanderlust: Embracing Adventures in my 30s
I spent my 20s not travelling.
I spent my 20s surviving and healing and dealing with myself.
I spent my 20s crying and working and watching the night sky because I couldn’t sleep till morning.
Then in 30s I started small.
I had what they call travel anxiety because I had never travelled.
I started going on treks, in groups of course.
And then pandemic happened.
Somehow the travel anxiety took a backseat.
I have been to Bali, Maldives, Goa, Coorg, Thailand, Kashmir and Dubai since then.
And this year… OMG…wait for it… this year I am going to Thailand again. Next month.
YES.
So my travel plans right now are to visit Thailand again. Have copicous amount of Iced thai coffee and enjoy my days.
Then in October, we travel again.
What are your travel plans?
Unpopular opinion: Watching Ponyo made me feel uncomfortable
I wanted to watch something Ghibli because you know it is calming and makes you happy but it looks like I am too woke for it 😦
So, once I was finished watching it I googled if someone else felt the same way I did.
Umm I found something on Reddit but it didn’t talk about the same thing I was thinking about.
