Growing up, I have seen and felt oppression and injustice. It’s safe to say that I have also experienced it myself because of my racial background, my social standing and people’s judgment of my family dynamics. I have Tingguian blood. I am an IP. I was raised in a town where almost everyone I know…
Besides writing, reading has been one of my passions. I remember always getting excited when it was time for us to buy our school supplies from Vigan. That meant we would visit National Bookstore which also meant that I could browse the seemingly endless choices then. While most teens my age did not exactly find…
It’s been a long while now that my wings have been on hibernation. Like many individuals during this pandemic, my job and the industry it belongs to has been affected.

I have always enjoyed watching Youtubers’ monthly favorites videos. I think it satisfies the little girl in me that likes to see and have pretty stuff. It also makes me know of what’s currently in and of course let’s be honest – what I have to get my hands on real soon. 😉 But even…

I love my twenties. I don’t think I could put it any other way. I think they are the best years of my life, not just my adult life, to be honest. Oh, the vigor and the strength and the silliness and tears of growing up and taking on the line “I am a strong, independent woman” to…

I’m hopelessly clinging to 27 for as long as I can but really, who am I fooling? I will be 28 in seven months. I don’t know why but I personally feel like the 20s is The Golden Era. It’s that time of life where I feel that you can achieve most, if not all, of your…
Even as a kid, I’ve always enjoyed my me time which is why I don’t exactly wonder why in adulthood, I always look forward to my time alone. Time alone for me is my time to decompress, sit back, relax and date me. I do what I want to do – anywhere, anytime. Any way,…
I’ve known Dorothy and the wonderful world of Oz – and yes, the Wizard too, since I was in school. I remember reading the book in high school but it didn’t really make a mark on me, I guess, as I don’t really feel nor remember much besides that of the Tin Man and his desire…
