Ramblings #46

Okay, ang galing.

Nanaginip ako kagabi na may nag-subscribe daw sa paid newsletter ko. Pag gising ko kaninang 5:30 AM, naalala ko yung panaginip ko tapos for a second, nalito ako kung panaginip ba yun or totoong nangyare. Na-realize ko rin agad na panaginip lang. Napangiti pa rin ako kase ang ganda nung thought na wow, may nag-subscribe.

6 AM ngayon at pag-check ko ng e-mail ko:

WHAT??! Literal na dream come true!

6:05 AM pa lang ngayon but you already made my day. Salamat!! 🤍

Happy Things #23

It’s been a while! There have been many things to feel unhappy about recently, but there were still moments to be grateful for despite the past heavy months.

Drawing our portraits

Kenneth and I went to a community market and saw Bea, my illustrator friend, with her sister, also an artist. They were selling art prints and other cutesy artsy stuff. Aside from the prints and stickers, her sister also offers 5-minute live portraits for $5, and that’s what caught my interest. We had our portraits drawn and it was super cute!

😍

The following week while we were doing our couples deck session, we drew a wild card and it prompted us to draw each other’s portraits for only 1 minute!

🤣

Haha that was fun.

Missing My Tall Little Sister

I am currently relistening to Mark Manson’s ‘backwards law’ podcast episode, and I found myself involuntarily reaching for my copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, which my sister gave as a bon voyage gift when we moved to Canada in 2018.

My sister filled this book with pictures of us, photos of our favorite movie/tv characters, inside jokes, and sweet messages. I haven’t finished this book yet, which means I haven’t read everything she had written down, and I love that there are still sweet notes to uncover after 6 years.

Thursday Letter #1 | I’m Doing This!

You’re reading this because you are a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

Hello and welcome!!

It took a lot of back and forth to start this members-only series, because if I’m going to be honest, I cannot think of a single person who will pay for the stuff I’m going to share. BUT, I guess I’mma have to tryyy. There are a couple of reasons why I wanted to start this:

Why?

  1. Let’s be honest, I wouldn’t mind making a few bucks doing what I enjoy (I can’t believe I’m documenting my life on the interwebs for 17 years now) And at the very least, it would help cover the costs of maintaining this website (I did the math, and three consistent, kind-hearted, hot, and cutesy subscribers would make up for it 😄)
