Hi! Nice to meet you (again)

Oh wow. This is weird.

Hi! Welcome to le-blog de KateeOTD. A place that started to be about fashion, turned foodie along the way, shifted to a beauty-guru-esque theme, eventually turned wanderlust, and finally just embracing all of the above. What can I say? It's a lifestyle at this point :P . But going back to my re-introduction; Hi! I'm Kate. Most people who follow along my journey call me "Katee", I don't mind whichever you prefer.

I've lost touch with my love for blogging when the pandemic hit, and as someone who lives in Macau, it took 3 years of lockdown for us. Needless to say, all inspiration & motivation I've had since 2020 was somewhat forced, and resulted in my content being unauthentic at times, or just... boring... yeah. But I am back, baby! This time around I just want to post what "I want to post" and worry less with what gets me followers or views (I am guilty for being the latter for the longest time). 

• I've been a blogger since 2016, launching this website as my outlet. The "OTD" from my title happened when #ootd was a thing. My original plan was to post everyday so "Of The Day" made sense... back then. Hahahahaha *laughs in embarrassment*
  
• My boyfriend of 12 years (this 2023) takes majority of my photos because he's a talented boiiii! He's also my partner with blogging/vlogging. A very behind-the-scenes dude, but trust me, KateeOTD won't be a thing without him.
• I love vlogging so follow me on YouTube. Just like this blog, I'm rekindling my love for taking videos & sharing them with the the viewers.
• During the pandemic, I've found other things I was passionate about. Things like having a podcast with my friends (more on that in the next bullet), playing as a forever cleric in Dungeons & Dragons, and starting small businesses (also keep reading for more details).
• Taurus Thing Pod had a good run for a year & a quarter. I miss podcasting, but it takes a lot of time & effort that our team had to take a temporary leave from it. Go listen to it still though! It's lotsa fun & stupidity :P
• In the end of 2021 I've started 2 small businesses. Sadly, I got "kicked out" in one of them (the one with my very own sisters), so now I'm refocusing my energy & motivation into building "Scribble Avenue". A journaling business I co-founded with one of my dearest friends.
• Since 2020, Adrian & I decided to live together and it's still the best decision I've ever made. We also have cats now! Meet them more here: @zekexzoey
• Mid 2022, I finally resigned from being a finance officer of 5 years, and got to pursue my passion as a Graphic Designer/Content Creator at Big Pie Coworking. Can't wait to rebuild my portfolio!

But yeah, I could go on and on and on and on about myself. For both our sakes, I won't. Instead I hope you truly feel my gratitude for reading my 1st blogpost back! And please don't be shy. Keep coming back because I have so much in store! See you again on the next read!
