Hello again,

Hello again,

“So I think we have established that I am not very good at this. And to be cliche its mostly because I'm a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to social media and especially my blog. That combined with having what feels like no time to do anything other than architecture, means there has been considerably little here.

That's my bad, Well it's 2018 now and I'm guna try to be a little more relax and actually post at least twice this year. Haha, I joke.”

Maria January 2018

Wo~w ... great start. My intentions were in the right place but it seems I didn’t even get the chance to post them. *facepalm* The first half of this year has been beyond chaotic, but I finally feel its come to a close - or I’ve just become acclimatised to it.

Point is, I’ve loved writing on my blog the last few years and no matter how busy its not something I want to ‘give up’.

That in mind, I WILL be posting here and I’ve set myself some light-hearted rules:

1. Stop being such a perfectionist
2. Things don't have to be in chronological order
3. Talk about whatever the heck I want
4. Posts don’t have to be 10 pages long - short or long, everything is good
5. Try not to go M.I.A but if I do, these ‘sorry I’ve been inconsistent’ posts need to go.

Okay, now we’ve got that sorted and (I have adequately roasted myself), I am currently sitting by the pool on my first girls summer holiday. We went to Bulgaria, and posts about that will be around imminently.

Thank you for sticking around,

Maria x

The New Year, new me crap & where have I been.

How we all feel in January. (this was actually our version of the boxing day dip)

Good Evening,


So its now 2017, Happy new year!

Before we look ahead let's reflect;

As you all know last summer I went on what I called at the time my summer escapade. You'll also be acutely aware that apart from two blogs from Singapore, you hardly heard anything more. Which at first was not my fault because for the best part of a month I went back to the stone age and had no Wi-Fi. And then lets me honest I got lazy and then extremely busy with Uni (yes, watch this space) and as I had said renovating literally my whole house.

So I've been busy, But I still want to share everything that has happened, for my own logging and also for your interest. But be warned it is going to trickle out of the creative tap.

Well, let's move on from that and talk about the new year and what that entails for the blog. If it wasn't obvious already, the blog is still alive, and fingers crossed not due to die anytime soon. But I did originally start this blog due to my move to Japan and brand it as such. However, I no longer live in Japan, so the plan is to broaden its horizons.

If you know me I love a list, so here a little list of things you can come to expect from this platform;

• Finishing Summer Escapade 2k16 series
• Home Renovation & Interior Design
• Japan - because I loved it so, I'm sure there is still plenty to talk about.
• Being at Uni and Student Life 
• An Expansion of my Portfolio. 
• Travel (I already have trips booked)
• Food/Drinks - who doesn't love to eat/drink!

Ideally, I would like to post at least once a week, but I'm not sure how possibly that is likely to be. Let's start once a fortnight for now. and you all have permission to pester me when I start slacking. 

See you soon, on the next experience at Raffles Long Bar in Singapore so stay tuned.

Its been a while

Happy New year, welcome 2016.

Its a new year; fresh starts, time to refocus... and all that malarkey. But honestly I'm annoyed at myself for the lack of input on my blog in the last quarter of 2015, I could come up with a billion excuses but that just seems pointless.

Well as I said time to start a fresh, although its already nearly February, shhhhh. I have become kinda backlogged in posts that I planned to write about things I have done in the past 3 months, and I know some are you are waiting to hear about my half term in October and now my Christmas break, I will get there eventually sit tight (haha imagine if you are reading this standing, you get the point though).

So the plan for the blog in 2016 is, well of course carry on telling you about my experience in Japan. But not just posts about various trips, but short blogs about small activities, funny stories and university applications as that is a big part of this year.

I want to say I aim to upload once a week but I feel like I'm not sure I could keep to that. Therefore I propose 1 blog post every fortnight (2 weeks), that sounds achievable right? *fingers crossed*. But you never know look out for Bonus posts.

I hope you all are having a great start to 2016 and I WILL see you in the near future
