Let me tell you all about how I installed Instagram to promote my novel during the Philippine Book Festival 2025 and how I quickly descended back into scrolling hell like it was yesterday. Sneaky motherfucker! Well, that was the long and short of it. I still need to schedule maybe…
Leave a commentWe’ll just write about it. Mondays are historically stressful, and I feel like my body has some hardwired resistance at having to be on for work, or for anything outside its own desires. Today’s big R resistance was so large, both for writing and working, that I let my period…
Leave a commentMy scrolling addiction has made reading for pleasure like getting a puppy to sit still for a photo. I’ve been calling it a scrolling addiction now, because even if I have tools to lock myself out of Instagram or YouTube now I still mesmerize myself doing the mindless scroll in…
Leave a commentFigured the mic issue out after the stream. Ang hirap pala kapag hindi regular nagsi-stream, laging start from scratch! Turns out I’ve been using the webcam mic all along, and the beep is perhaps my mic’s attempt to announce its presence in the world. I hear you, mic, some of…
Leave a commentI got all the achievements in Baldur’s Gate 3, some not so honourably (thanks, No Party Limit mod), but I needed to push it to the max to get a semblance of completion so I can say I’m more or less done with it. I’ll write about the experience at…
Leave a commentStory-wise, at least.

Leave a commentOne hour of writing, by the end of it, feels insufficient, but I swear the first ten to fifteen minutes feel like early morning Mass. I do have to make better plans so I can do 2-hour sprints again (or more). I just haven’t been able to wake up wake…
Leave a commentThis week was pretty amazing. I did not expect the volume of congratulatory messages I got on my social media announcement, but mostly because I have forgotten that I did know these many people. I’m relatively old. I’ve lived so many lives. So. Many. Lives. One day I will write…
Leave a commentWell then, I’ve had more social interactions in the past month than the two years that went before it. Yet somewhere people’s worlds are falling apart. It is hard to be perma-happy when you’re perma-informed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be or that you can’t try. Here, with half…
Leave a commentI should probably just get over this push-and-pull of whether or not I should go back to blogging by coming up with something first draft-y to get it over with. Yesterday was my 39th birthday, which was as good a time as any to not start blogging again. I had…
