Dearest Gentle Readers, I have a new ship. It’s POLIN – or what the Bridgerton season 3 couple Penelope and Colin is known as. Now I’ve shipped a lot of fiction couples in history, but this is probably the one I relate to the most because I am like Penelope in a few ways: not […] The post Polin appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

After four years of dodging Covid-19 like Neo dodged bullets in The Matrix, it finally caught me this month. In Boracay, of all places. I was in vacation in Boracay with family, and on my last day there (June 11) I got a sore throat. I even asked for honey from the hotel breakfast buffet […] The post Covid Finally Caught Me appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

Happy Lunar New Year! I didn’t get to see any dragon dances or fireworks, though I did hear them from my flat. They went on for 23 minutes. I did capture the beautiful decorations on Lee Tung Avenue, though. They look so much more beautiful at night. I am so happy about how the photo […] The post Chinese New Year 2024 appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

My friend May randomly discovered a really affordable hair salon all the way at Yuen Long called JT Hair Salon. She likes their service and price, so when she said she was going back to get her hair colour redone, I asked to join her. We did it the Sunday just before Chinese New Year, […] The post New Year, New Hair Colour @ JT Hair Salon appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

They were not able to buy tickets to the actual game, but just to the practice. They wanted to meet up at Causeway Bay, so I asked some friends […] The post Kes in HK: Lua appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

My friend Ashley was craving for samgyupsal, so she, May, Precious and I had dinner at Myung Ga Korean Restaurant at the 27th floor of iSquare in Tsim Sha Tsui on Friday night. I thought I would get lost when trying to find it, but the mall was directly outside the MTR exit R. We […] The post Myung Ga Korean Restaurant and Eyebar appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

When I was a student, one of the highlights of my life was shopping for school supplies at a shop called Golden Bell before every start of a school term. Maybe that’s why until now, I get weirdly happy whenever I find myself in a stationery supply store or bookstore. That’s where I found myself […] The post End of a Pen Era? appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

The past few weeks, everyone in Hong Kong has been complaining about how weirdly warm this winter has been. I read that this was because of El Niño. El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a climate phenomenon that exhibits irregular periodic variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. It affects […] The post Weirdly Warm Winter appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more

Recently, my friend May shared a reel made by Justine Luzares that made her feel kilig (giddy). Her sharing about feeling kilig made me realize something. When you make new friends as an older person, you don’t really talk about love lives anymore. This isn’t the first time I realized this, actually. I had this […] The post Love Stories are a Topic for the Young appeared first on A Deecoded Life ..read more
