stay-at-home preoccupations

How's it going? I hope you're all doing fine. My family and I are doing okay over here, for the most part. Quarantine has been extended to the end of April, it's worrying but there's not much that can be done about it. When I'm not working, I either help clean the house or fill …

quick quarantine log

Hello, how's it going? I'm doing kind of okay. Our community quarantine started last March 15th and I have not gone outside of the house since then. We're just lucky that everyone in the family can work from home. It's rough-going around here (and I am not in the best of mental states), but we're …

turning 28 + life lately

Hello again! I'll admit I'm not in my best form at the moment, given the current situation (please take care and keep safe), but the only thing we can do is keep moving and keep doing. So yeah, I'm 28 years old now! The festivities mostly involved getting some sachets of the  tea I wanted …

Love Poem in Manila (Dec. 13, 2019)

After a long, long time as her fan, I finally saw IU live. She came to Manila for her Love Poem tour and it was, by far, the most fun I've had at a concert. Everything about it was so lovely and this concert was worth the wait. I've been aware of IU since she …

Favorites: 06

I'm bringing my "favorites" lists back! I miss talking about things I like and I need the outlet, hahahahahaha. Reads 01. Am I allowed to say 'reads' when I mostly listen to audiobooks now? Not that it matters, but I'm asking out of sheer curiosity. I know people can get very purist about reading.As it …

Hello and a late New Year's greetings! January is off to a rough start, it seems. Even the zits on my face think so too, BUT we do have 11 months more to try and zhuzh this year up. Full disclosure first: I am obsessed with Queer Eye (this love stems from when the very …

Carly Rae Jepsen in Manila (Oct. 23, 2019)

My queen, Carly Slay Jepsen, had graced my life with her presence at last! October was a blessed month, if I do say so myself. I was beyond ecstatic and I had a blast. As much as I regretted missing out on the concert from a year or two before, I'm glad my first Carly …

travel log: Singapore 2019 pt. 2

Happy holidays! Here's the next part to my Singapore trip log last October (and if you haven't read the first part yet, please do so!): The Runners-Up These are the places I've been to that were also pretty neat but not at the top of my "absolutely fun" list. Siloso Point We were supposed to …

travel log: Singapore 2019 pt. 1

Hello again! This Singapore trip marks the first time I've gone out of the country! I had a lot of mixed feelings going in - excitement, anxiety (planes terrify me), and bummed (because I couldn't spend Halloween properly) - but I'm glad I went. Singapore is an interesting country and I left satisfied to have …
