  • Thursday Letter #12 | Letters to Self

    You have full access to this post because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Hello from my cozy little home office. Ang aga kong nagising ngayon (5:30AM) which meant more time to read, journal, and write my 12th Thursday letter. After reading my saved articles (hoping to spark some ideas), hindi ko pa rin…

  • Goodness Gracious

    I wanted to share an article I read about being a good person. The author—drawing from social media standards and contemporary novels—humorously summed it up this way: First and foremost, a good person possesses a deep understanding of power structures and her relative place in them. She has a sense of humor that never “punches…

  • The Okayest Employee

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 I’ve downloaded the LinkedIn app again just to take a peek of what’s out there. I even  received two messages about remote job opportunities na para bang alam nilang babalik na ko sa trabaho soon. Pag nakauwi na ang Mama sa Pilipinas, I will…

  • The Menace Bulletin No. 1

    Welcome to The Menace Bulletin! It’s where you’ll find a curated collection of little discoveries, interesting tidbits, and all sorts of odd curiosities. First edition is on the house, but I’d probably reserve future ones for paid subscribers *finger heart* THE GOODS Cool people and things I stumbled upon. Steal like an artist Austin Kleon…

  • Mid-Year Check 2025

    Bilis ng panahon. A lot of things happened. Winter turned into spring, tapos ngayon summer na. Met new people, wrote a lot, feelings were felt, tears were shed. There were joys and laughter too—which I badly badly needed. It’s hard to face the second half of the year without feeling a sense of fear. I…

  • 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…

  • Is My Social Life on Life Support?

    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,…

  • 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…

  • I Was Born in the Wrong Era

    You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍 Being in my jobless era (once again), ang hirap maramdaman yung usefulness ko. Pinupuntirya nya yung ego ko. Lalo na pag nakikita kong nagta-trabaho si Kenneth? Tapos napapadalas pa yung OT nya these days? Nakaka-guilty. Ang pinipilit kong ipaintindi sa sarili ko, mas napapagaan…

  • My Favorite Love Language

    As someone na ang favorite love language to receive ay words of affirmation, pakiramdam ko hindi ako ganun ka-satisfied kasi hindi natural kay Kenneth ang pagiging expressive. Napagusapan na naman namin ‘to, pero talagang may mga bagay na hindi kayang pilitin. Okay lang. Na-accept ko na. Kaya naman pag nakaka-receive ako ng compliments from other…
