One of the things I knew even as I was just starting this whole studying again thing was that I wasn’t going to write about the experience exhaustively until I was done. Live first, write later. This is why I’ve mostly been tight-lipped about the minutiae of my current academic life. Everything that’s been written… Continue reading In Which I Reveal That I Hated The Uniform
And whether or not it is clear to you,
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,… Continue reading And whether or not it is clear to you,
Letters To You, #5
I mostly already forgot about this incident since it happened, but it popped up in some recent conversations with one of my cousins and my best friend, and since I seem to get riled up whenever I recount this, I might as well share it here. I was trying to describe how young my current… Continue reading Letters To You, #5
The Death of Taylor Swift
I know, I know—I rise from the ashes that is this blog to write about Taylor Swift? Yeah, well. Is that even surprising? It’s me. Plus, I have to get this out of my system right now. This is the only time I can write this. So here you go. I’m gonna let you in… Continue reading The Death of Taylor Swift

Keeping On Keepin’ On
Hello, world! What’s up? I, um, haven’t been here in a while, no? (Understatement of the year!) I seriously marvel at how internet content creators never run out of stuff to post about. Like, popular vloggers can upload well-edited videos, what, three times a week? Even more? And over here I can barely post anything… Continue reading Keeping On Keepin’ On
2016: Months Seven and Eight
July— Life’s funny. Sometimes it likes to cruelly punish you for choosing happiness. Like, I never wish to regret grabbing what little joy I can from each moment I’m able to, because I remember so many days when there seemed like nothing to even hold on to. But I ended up regretting anyway. August— —was… Continue reading 2016: Months Seven and Eight
Feature 02: Jom + Trish Wedding Invitation Suite
Guys! I’m so giddy to be able to finally post about a recent design project—a wedding invitation suite for my friend Trisha and her soon-to-be-husband Jommel! This was truly a dream project of sorts. I’ve always wanted an excuse to design wedding invitations, especially of the “Pinterest” kind, and now I actually got to make… Continue reading Feature 02: Jom + Trish Wedding Invitation Suite
Advice from an Unqualified Five-Year-Old
Hey y’all. Two weeks ago, the nonevent that was 23rd my birthday happened, so I thought I’d commemorate it with some kind of post here. (Two weeks too late. Because priorities.) Before getting to it, though, I just want to say … Well, first, I’m really pleased how birthdays become normal days more and more… Continue reading Advice from an Unqualified Five-Year-Old
And That’s The Way I Loved You
Continuing the series of reviews of Taylor Swift’s albums I’m writing (by anon request), here are my thoughts about her second studio album, Fearless. As before, I avoided listening to the album for months before playing it in full in one go in order to write this review.
