On Quarantine and Fangirling

Ah. The life of a fangirl!

Intentional

Actually, that’s what I am aiming for this year.

Things I am Still Grateful for this 2020

Let's be real, we had a shitty year! But for the sake of the spirit of Christmas, I am going to write about the things I found that I am still grateful for this year. Because yes, 2020 is absolute shit (sorry I have no other words to describe it) but I believe that if…

Yow! Idk

I'm on a really weird place right now. I really don't know what to do with everything in my life. I haven't read a book since May, and I haven't painted anything since September. I haven't been really writing anything and I haven't really watched anything as well either. I'm not doing anything, really. I…

What Now

I was cleaning and sorting and reorganizing my stuff in the boarding house when I found the first artwork I made this year. It is a portrait of DAY6's Sungjin and it was dated January 12. I remember that the moment I was finishing the artwork, Taal Volcano was already erupting unbeknownst to us. Despite…

The Book of Us: The Demon by DAY6

Eleven months after being a MyDay and we are now on my third comeback with DAY6. This is the first time that I actually felt so involved. I was a silent and passive MyDay before. But this time I decided to support them pretty actively. Ah! So many things happened prior to their comeback. It…

On being 27

In a couple of hours, I am going to turn 27. It's a different world when you are on the other side of 25, no? Suddenly, it feels like you are not in your twenties anymore, even though technically you still are. It's like whoops, I'm pushing 30s already. Tumatanda ka na self. My idealistic…

Book Thoughts | Anna and the Swallow Man

Title: Anna and the Swallow Man Author: Gavriel Savit Rating: 6.5/10 On November 6, 1939, Anna's father had to go away for a few hours. He left shortly after eleven o'clock. He did not come back again. We all know what happened during those years. And being someone who have a certain partiality to stories…

Book Thoughts | The Giver

Title: The Giver Author: Lois Lowry Rating: 7/10 Now, I wish I have read this sooner. I'm not sure but I think I would have appreciated this better had I read this when I was younger. It's a children book per se but I believe that it would have helped me a lot in appreciating…

Book Thoughts | We Are Okay

Title: We Are Okay Author: Nina LaCour Rating: 8/10 Soooooo, someone stayed in a book store for three hours today, sitting on a couch devouring this little gem of a book. Someone also shamelessly cried while sitting on said couch and wiped her tears and snot on the sleeves of her cardigan because she had…

On Body Clock, Routines, etc.

What day are we on this ECQ? Ah, it's been a month. Supposedly, yesterday was the last day of ECQ but since it was extended for another couple of weeks, we are all still trying to do our part by staying in our homes. So what am I up to nowadays? Nothing much really. I…

Book Thoughts | What We See In the Stars

Title: What We See In The Stars Author: Kelsey Oseid Rating: 7/10 I remember wanting to get this book since 2018. I almost even bought a 2019 calendar version of this but somehow, I only got to purchase this last January, three days after I told myself that I wouldn't but any new books this…

On Art, Artists, etc.

I woke up today in a video of Andrew Lloyd Webber playing "All I Ask of You" during his isolation. And while I was watching, I got really overwhelmed by these emotions I can't describe and I suddenly teared-up. I was not sure why I did but I just thought, "How can humans create such…

On Colorful, Boredom, Hikikomori, Yaoi etc.

Hello! If you are bored out of your mind, consider watching this animated film called Colorful. I watched it last night and it was really good. But do watch it with caution because this film has themes of bullying and suicide. The question "are you alive?" will hit you differently after you finish the film.…
