  • While “window shopping” in a lighting store just the other day, she spoke to me. No not the sales woman. This lamp.

    Into the magpie nest: Gunmetal chrome
  • A couple of weeks ago, my lil bro asked if I felt like illustrating a map as though I was a Lord [Lordess 💁🏽‍♀️] in his Dungeons and Dragons campaign, not specifically to be used by any one, just to make a map with the same specs. Uh duh, of course I want to! So…

    A work-in-progress, one of many: Faux cartography
  • Dear No One, Sometimes, when a situation feels like it fucking sucks or the path ahead looks like a dead end, this always mindset comes back to me. Life is like a video game. Even when the level in front of you feels impossible, the ones who built it wouldn’t have made a world without…

    Letters to No One: Life is like a video game
  • I spend at least $10 a week on mobile games… I tell myself it’s the same as buying a coffee if I were out in town, and since I’m not buying any cheeky coffees, I can buy this! Or that it’s only $4 or $5 at a time, so really, what’s the harm? But..if I…

    Oh, me? I’m addicted to mobile games, and this is my confession
  • Think what you will about astrology, tarot, astral projection, and chakras. Some people are just truly magical. Those who know they hold power but never feel the need to prove it because they’re content in their beliefs. I’d never met someone so deeply connected to their spiritual self until I met Nastia. She wasn’t just…

  • I use the workspace Miro to write my comic. It’s my go-to for organising ideas about the comic I’m writing! Instead of clicking through multiple documents as I to edit my character sheets or script, I can jump around my Miro board freely. It lets my thoughts flow without being locked into a single document, so I…

    A work-in-progress, one of many: A buzz of plot holes
  • Dear No One, Have you ever felt the battle of identity as a Filipino, when historically, our identities were replaced and erased by those who colonised and enslaved our ancestors? When I act as a Filipino, is it true? How do other peoples who had their histories erased act? Do they take on the food,…

    Letters to No One: I think I’m Filipino
  • For this whole year so far, I’ve been lucky enough to work from home. It’s ideal for me as an introvert, because when in the office, I’m pretty anxious and quiet. I mean as a 25 year-old teenager, what am I meant to talk about with my mid-30’s-and-older cohort? Luckily, the only benefit to being…

    Oh, me? Just scared of pixel horrors
  • Look, I haven’t gone out much this week so I haven’t got any exciting trinkets. But lucky for you, I’m a sucker for Spotify’s suggestions of new music! Here’s some recent picks

  • The first thing on a woman’s mind in the morning, and the last thing a man wants to talk about; chores, groceries, household responsibility. Like most couples, chores holds tension on our relationship, bickering ensues. One emotional period later, as in literally on my period, I sat down with good ol’ ChatGPT and created a…
