ADAの日記
Ada's Diary

This site has been in existence for quite a long time and as such has been a repository of Ada's thoughts, likes, hobbies and growth over time. A representation of the evolution of my persona and the reflections of this on my self-image, this blog talks about anything under the sun, and hopefully you'll find most of my writing, if not insightful and informed, entertaining at least. I blog about movies, music, beauty, fashion, school life, foreign culture and contemporary issues (as well as the occasional rant). These are the writings of a normal girl with extraordinary ambitions, who one day hopes to change the world in her own little way.

Who is Ada?

Silence has no match for Ada Agupitan as her unknowing voice resonates though the farthest of distances. That is after all, one of her more apparent qualities. But underneath the noisy demeanor of this Japanese-Korean obsessed lass lies the story of a girl who grew up wanting to be an artist, a writer, a webdesigner and a molecular biologist.

Hey guys, my name's Ada. I'm a university student with a passion for attention haha. I started this blog back in 2008 as a project for our Computer Science class in high school, and even before that I'd been actively blogging on Livejournal for a significant amount of time.

The intro says it all, really. And because of my nature as a person, the nature of the blog is pretty much the same. You'll find that this blog may just be as scatterbrained as I am as a person, containing posts ranging from beauty reviews, to movie reviews, to music playlists, to random thoughts, to art, to kpop, to jpop and current events. You might have to sift through the navigation and/or tags on this blog to find exactly what you're looking for, or who knows? You might just find something new to obsess over while you're here.
