Am I Having a Mid-life Crisis?

Was there ever a moment in your life when you felt overwhelmed by how fast time flies?  I'm turning 26 in a few weeks and honestly, I don't know what to feel. I'm the type of person who usually just go with the flow and didn't care much on where the waves of life would take me. I'm easily contented with what I have...

The Mangaka Who?

Hi! Honestly speaking, I still can't think of a topic that would best fit my first post on My Trending Stories. While thinking of possible topics, let me give you an idea first of who I am and what you can expect on my future posts. I started blogging in 2011 using Tumblr and eventually migrated to blogger in 2012. Why did I...

eLBi Diaries: Faustina's

I consider November as my official hell month. With lots of deadlines and bulk of customer requests in the lab, I would normally prefer to just stay at home and relax after work.  What's good about 11-11 is that aside from the 2016 AFSTRI Cultural Night at IRRI, my officemates and I were able to dine our stresses out. We're only halfway through...

Fifteen.

Hi guys! Time flies so fast that I barely realized that it's already the last day of October. To be honest, I didn't really had the time to doodle that much, all thanks to that horror called life, jk. Hehe.  While thinking of what to draw, a very familiar collection of blue soft- and hard-bound books covered with a thin coat of dust and...

Oh well. It's our second session and we have decided to eat at one of eLBi's most popular food trip getaways: Seoul Kitchen....

Benicio (2005-2016) ♥

"Kung pagod ka na at ayaw mo lang bumigay dahil ayaw kitang bitawan, wag mo na kong isipin. I'll be fine." These were the exact words I told my Beni last Saturday.  We were both sick and bed-ridden for almost a week. For me, I got a lot better after taking lots of medicines, but that's not the case for my canine bestfriend....

Review: Oh My Venus ♥

*Disclaimer: hover the mouse over the images for source. Thanks!  My heart can't contain continuous heavy dramas after watching The Princess' Man so I decided to watch something lighter. While browsing my favorite k-drama hosting website, I saw something intriguing. After reading the synopsis, I knew right there and then that I would be hooked with this drama. Plot. A story about the struggle...
