New plants arrived today! Found an online group of sellers and got these (zz, sansevieria, basil, and bacularis) for less than a thousand. I’m most excited about the basil and hope I can grow more of it in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, my initial three (marble queen, peperomia rosso, and njoy) all have new sprouts! I’ve also dedicated a special nook for my babies and thankful that I have other plant mom and dads helping me out with this new parenthood thing.

A few good sunsets have gone by and all I can see of it is this view.

What I appreciate about living in Ortigas, specifically in Baranggay San Antonio, is how the local officials are regulating the movement of people and traffic within the neighborhood. Most entry points are blocked, an on different times of the day a part of this street (a few steps away from the building where I live) hosts various rolling markets that sell fresh meat and produce.

Plus, we have the most commendable mayor in the country.

When the GCQ starts on Monday, I’m hoping every one here can maintain this.

I’ve been filtering all my travel photos from the last five years. Got too busy/lazy doing so.

Now I’m permanently deleting hundreds of images that I don’t ever see using anywhere, to clear up space in my digital drives. Only keeping those that I like and would care to show to others.

It’s been more than a month since this beautiful Aglaonema withered away from my lack of watering. Somehow I find myself still holding on to it. Just like how I still cling to all my other past failures.

I’m throwing this out first thing tomorrow.

About a week ago, the hair trimming set that I bought online finally arrived. My hair has grown to an uncontrollable state after two months of ECQ, and I was left to wear a bandana every time I go out to keep control of the hair and the sweat from dripping down my face.

Trimming my own hair was quite an experience. The outcome wasn’t as horrible as I expected.

What I liked about it is how, with a slide of button, I could adjust the size of the shear instead of replacing it like in the ones used by barbers. The pack also included a couple of scissors and the cape for only P780.

This is the first post. Hello!

Almost a decade ago, I used to have a Tumblr and posted a lot of illustrations and travel photos. I’ve also met a lot of people then through this platform, some of which have become quite great friends of mine. Now, I am 30+ years old and is looking for a quiet space to continue telling stories through photographs.

I’m aware that it’s rare to find a “quiet” space in any social media platform nowadays, but it’s become too crowded elsewhere so I decided to come back here. 

This post sounds so formal, so, putangina! Kumusta?! My plan is to keep things short and frequent here while I prepare longer writings on a Wordpress.

Let’s see if this goes well.
