Hajimemashite! はじめまして

I’m Aica, a creative creature who writes and draws. I illustrate fantasy and horror figures, edit photos so my Instagram looks like a wonderland, and spin a hula hoop for 10 minutes. Clearly, I have a thing for world cinema, Japanese culture, and flat white coffee. My blog also shares a freelancer’s journey through the city and the world as I work and wander.

I’m like a cactus. Yes I’m smol and a-Duran-bowl but call me c-u-t-e and I will fucken prick u with my thorns of sarcasm and snark. Unless you’re family, close friends, or my bae.
Finished work early, created the perfect confidence boosting playlist, my skin is clear, my crops are growing, resumed a passion project, and the milkshake brought all the top boys to the yard. TGIF bishes.
➡️ SWIPE LEFT FOR THE TRANSFORMATION ➡️ ... 1st photo: Seoul, May 2018. 2nd photo: Bangkok, August 2018. There’s no secret—it’s diet, exercise, and faith in myself charot. (Binaurals helped too.) #AICAntravel
Bangkok, do you miss me? #AICAntravel
What I did this holiday: laundry, following up my new specs, and finishing this masterpiece at last #AICAndraw
At 10 PM last night, I visualized the near future. I saw myself as if I was another person watching myself on a Netflix reality show. ... It was the best news in the right time, with the right person, and in the right place. Not only did I feel the cold air of the place, but the warmth and satisfying happiness inside me. I saw myself crying out of bittersweet joy, and realized how everything fell right into place as it should after all the challenges. And eventually, I started to cry in real life too. Every time I play that scene in my head, I feel only happiness, love, and thankfulness. ... And as if on cue, I heard fireworks nearby. Amused, I check out the window to see if the nearest casino was the one doing this. I guess it was, I just didn’t get to see it. But I took this as a sign from the universe that this is it. It’s as if God is telling me, “Anak, this is your story and I’m letting it happen.” And then I slept with a smile and a warmed heart. Then I finally imagined the last 1.5 minutes of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” playing.
