About Cafe Melrose

Cafe Melrose was created for the sole intention of typing down my comments about certain episodes of certain dramas on television — mostly shows from Taiwan, Korea, and my native land, the Philippines. Since I usually don’t have anyone to rant and rave about a certain episode, I decided I should just bring it over to the internet and thus Cafe Melrose was born.

I don’t like to sugarcoat things, so my posts are always straight to the point. If I don’t like an episode (same with a character), you will surely be able to tell. In addition, if a show is starting to go at a snail’s pace, then surely, I will too with my posts about that particular show.

Overall, if you have your own thoughts on a show or you agree/disagree with my thoughts, then by all means, you’re welcome to post(!), as long as it’s about the show and not some network war comment. It’d be so great if we can start conversations about the same thing we love!

Also, this blog was created and maintained by a person who just wants to share her opinions — this blog isn’t meant to be written like an essay (I keep that saved for college). So please, be casual all you like.

So happy drama watching everyone!

A Little About Me

I don’t really get to share anything about me on this blog and sometimes there are people that like to know who’s the person behind the entries they read. So I’ll just give you a run down:

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, here in the United States and am currently in college. However, I was fortunately able to live in the Philippines for two years from the age of three to five years old. So, thank goodness, there’s no language barrier! Pero, pasensya na lang when I write in Tagalog, considering I’ve never had formal training.

My interests range from a whole span of topics: history, arts, music, traveling, cultures and languages, architecture and interior design, fashion, technological advances… you name it! I also love learning about the Philippines and where her people came from. Aside from my country, I’d love to travel the world someday, preferably when I’ve acquired a nice sum of money.

And since I always find it hard to describe myself, I’ll leave it at that.
