I am Aileen

Today, she is a digital nomad and entrepreneur living a life of travel! She likes lazying around, traveling, eating different cuisines, writing nonsense, as well as those with sense, being weird, laughing ridiculously, city lights, partying, and gawking at cute dogs. She is interested in fashion, music, arts, desserts, internet, dancing, sleeping, and singing. She also misses Batanes with a passion. ★ To read more about her story, go here: [ click ] MAIN CATEGORIES: ♥ / 5 Things / all me / day entries / my art / my childhood / my kind of music / 2012 Project 366 - - - Visitors:  Online Unique Hits: All content © Aileen unless otherwise specified (e.g. reblogs, etc.).

29 amazing trips around the sun✨🎂 - - - This wasn’t how I envisioned my ’2020 birthday bash’ to be like (away from family and friends due to lockdown) — but I’m already thankful for the fact that I was able to celebrate it! I’m also grateful for everyone’s greetings, calls, gifts, and basically: all the love 💛 - - - Now that I think about it, I’ve spent my past 4 birthdays alone/away from home as I did projects abroad for my blog... and this ‘somehow’ became the 5th. 😅 So, I dearly hope that the next one works in my favor—even more so since I will be hitting my 30th!🤞🏻😝 One of my friends asked me what my birthday wish was... and though I’m not one for wishes, I quickly answered that I’d love for things to go back to normal soon! - - - So how about those of you who were past celebrants this year? How did you spend your ‘lockdown birthday’? - - - #AileenInThePhilippines #lockdownbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CFi9Tvqs3ON/?igshid=12jwudzrmi9qj

There are kimono rentals and geisha dress-ups in Japan, but how about a miko-for-a-day program? ✨🇯🇵⛩ - - - A ‘miko’ is a Shinto shrine maiden, and due to the popularity of the famous “Your Name” or @yourname_official anime movie (in which the main female character was a miko and she even did a beautiful kaguramai dance as pictures above), the interest in this traditional role has increased. - - - In fact, it is in Amagasaki City’s Amagasaki Ebisu Shrine where you can try a miko experience package like I did! ⛩ For an hour, you can dress in the miko attire, learn about their activities and even try kaguramai dance just like in the movie! The icing to the cake? You can easily drop by Amagasaki from Osaka with a Hanshin tourist train pass. 🚆 More on the vlog and blog soon! - - - #AileenInJapan #miko #kiminonawa (at Amagasaki, Hyogo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6K9ZeDhT1_/?igshid=53yvv0hynt0
