    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 1. One thing na tumutulong magpagaan ng araw-araw ko ay PBB. My big winner is Shuvee kaso na-evict na sya huhu.

  • From the Drafts Vault

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Sobrang dami kong post na hindi natatapos kaya nakatambay lang sila lahat sa drafts (93 drafts to be exact). The oldest one is from 2018! Wow 29 pa lang ako nun. Yung iba, medyo relevant pa naman at pwede ko pang i-convert into a…

  • This is 35

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Seven questions for my 35-year old current self: 1. When you were younger, what did you think 35 would look like? Nung 25 ako, ang big deal samin mag-30. “Samin” kasi same sentiments kami ng mga officemates ko noon. Lahat kami in our 20s…

  • Listening to Your Gut

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 After I published this essay about my social life, ang daming leftover thoughts na nag-flow after. Parang ang dami ko pa palang masasabi. So consider this as a continuation of that previous post. Unti-unti kong nakokolekta yung mga factors kung bakit pa-intense ng pa-intense…

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Minsan, pag kuntento naman akong nakatambay lang sa bahay, tapos excited ako sa mga plano kong gawin (either magsulat at magbasa lang naman yun, or manood ng TV or mag-chores), tapos makikita ko online yung mga tao na lumalabas with their family or friends,…

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 It’s time to go back to one of my regular monthly posts. Dahil kahit malungkot tayo, tuloy pa rin ang paggastos—parang mas magastos pa nga pag malungkot. Before we go to the weekly breakdown, Best Buy and Bye-Bye of the week muna: Best Buy…

  • Thursday Letter #9 | Expectation vs Reality

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Pag meron akong mga kaibigan na nawalan ng mahal sa buhay, I will say my condolences, sincerely let them know that I’m just here, then give them space. Aantayin ko na lang silang mag-message ulit pag ready na silang makipag-interact sa outside world. Pakiramdam…

  • Life Updates | Coping Mechanisms

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 1. Nung nagkasakit ang Mama, thankful ako sa music ni Chappell Roan. Hindi dahil sa nakaka-relate ako sa mga kanta nya, sobrang ganda lang talaga nung ni-release nyang album. Nakaka-soothe (isa sa mga proof na may healing properties talaga ang music). Basta pag nakakapakinig…

  • Skincare Haul: Skin Cycling

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 I am back home at hanggang ngayon, I’m (expertly) avoiding thoughts about my grandma that’s going to make me breakdown. Nagtataka rin ako bakit hindi ako nagiiyak. Scary. Siguro dahil walang nangangamusta sakin at ayoko ring kamustahin ang sarili ko. Ang lagi lang naman…
