I Won Today!

I just submitted an 18-page essay for my Palanca entry. Yep, eighteen pages. Exactly 4,986 words I agonized over, paragraphs I rewrote a hundred times, and countless moments of dread in front of a blinking cursor when the thoughts in my head refused to make it to the screen. Now it’s fina…

Running: The Gateway Hobby to Buying Stuff You Didn’t Know Existed

In a few days, I’ll be flying out of the country again. And for the first time, I didn’t buy new outfits for my travel OOTDs. Don't get me wrong. I don't splurge. My travel outfits are mostly Shein and ukay-ukay finds. But in all 7 countries I’ve been to, I’ve never repeated an ou…

Guess Who's Back?

After an extended, shall we say, hiatus from anything resembling physical activity (unless running errands counts), I've decided it's time to get moving again. Well, here’s the thing. It’s not some deep, life-changing epiphany. It’s also not for health reasons (though, probably it…

After What Seemed Like an Eternity of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing...

We finally got to see Jack Johnson live!  And he did not disappoint!  OMGAEOFIJASFJHGVOAHIJROARLOJSDFJAF!!! Allow me to share with you all a story of our greatest weekend in 2024 yet.  *deep breath* Here goes...  Jan and I didn't know about the Wanderland Music Festival until we saw o…

EDC D E F G

It all started when Jan went to Mr. Big's concert and all he wanted was to bring a small, minimalist wallet that could carry an ID, a card or two, and a little cash with him.  One month later, he now has three (3) minimalist wallets. All thanks to these YouTube videos that introduced…

Triggered

I still remember the last time I drew something. It was Valentine's Day four years ago when, like any other Valentine's, Jan and I had nothing better to do. It was a year before the pandemic but staying home was already a much better choice that day. So Jan challenged me to draw s…

Animal Crossing Island Tour Part 2

Yes, folks! I still play (with really long breaks in between). And yes, after 1,3xx hours, I am NOT YET DONE. I strongly believe that no Resident Representative (a.k.a Player 1), not one, has ever finished this game. I lost count on how many times I've tore down some parts of my islan…

Something New

At this point, I think I already lost the ability to write. I find it hard to write anything even when there is so much to share the past three months. This is probably the longest time I have been gone—in the blogosphere at least. I would have started this comeback post with an apology f…

I've Gone to the Dark Side

Unfortunately.
