  • After a very tiring September, October was super chill. Sabi ko gusto ko naman ng maraming alone time this month, and that’s exactly what I got.

I still have my occasional once-or-twice-a-month free posts, but September last year I started making these exclusive posts to help support this ancient blog of mine. Though I am fairly consistent with my creative output here, I am sluggish in…
