When someone says that "I can't do this," please do not dismiss their worries and fears and simply reply, "Yes, you can!" Some of you even leave them to deal with things alone. What we need are not empty words of encouragement. We need actual, tangible support.

The timing of this post is so on point ahaha since I finally had the energy/headspace to work on putting up my own website! I might ask for recommendations for website hosting sometime, if that's okay? 😅

My tinfoil hat hot take is I think the effort to get us to value views over interaction is about trying to shift agency away from the user and toward the platform. They want us to value what their algo can do over the relationships we build.

I haven't logged into Our Life: Beginning and Always in quite a while, so imagine my reaction that this is what I return to:
A young man with long green hair tied back in a ponytail and wearing glasses (Cove from Our Life: Beginning and Always), a necklace with an anchor pendant, and a light brown sando sitting on a windowsill. With accompanying text: "That was when you truly understood. Cove had come straight to you upon getting back to town. You were his first port of call, taking precedence above all else."

Oh I am beginning to love him a lot too! (And Block B! Their songs are actually not of my usual genre but they're growing on me haha.) He's wonderful in Teach You A Lesson, too. Overall the series is really satisfying, and surprisingly insightful.

I honestly love this series so much. As a teacher, too, I find the series relatable and actually very motivational. Excited for Season 2!

It still has to be said: before posting an opinion, maybe make sure you are well-informed about a subject first. For example, before saying "Filipinos do not support local literature/comics", ask yourself first do YOU read current works by local authors, yourself?

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

Seeing Toru tonight in OOR's 2025 Nissan Stadium concert film made me change a detail in my LI's outfit for an upcoming cover photo shoot, because just look at him, okay 👀

By the way, I binged "Murderbot" on the plane on that long flight and I finished up to episode 6! I love it. I also love everyone, too.

I sometimes (often) complain about how tired I get from all our activities in school, but after teaching students I always feel so energized. Thankful for the reminders that I do love what I do as a teacher. (That, and all the coffee I drank this morning haha)

Spent the last hour writing an emotional post about a current issue rather than making exam questions that are due ASAP, ahaha. But it was worth it 😅 Things have to be said. And it was quite cathartic.

I keep crying these days but today I am crying happy tears because after a lecture I gave today to general surgeons, they mentioned my dad, saying that he was one of their dear mentors during their training, and that I was now teaching them too like he did. I hope my dad is proud of me 😭

I just booked the place and the owners confirmed that they actually have 6 cats! Heehee even better😸 (You can also ask the owners to shut the cats away during your stay if you do not prefer to have them around, but of course I want to see them all hehe)

Was vaguely interested in an upcoming book, but it was labeled as "literary horror" and I never could understand why people don't just label all books like this as simply "horror". Genre fiction is literature 🥲

"What if I said I just wanted to talk with you a little longer? Then could I walk you back?”" Smooth, Volf, very smooth. (Huhu but I love how they both just really wanted to keep talking with each other, above everything)

I like the world building in the novel by the way, and find the mechanics of the magic tools in their world fascinating. The romance seems to be a verrrryyyyy slow burn, but I do like the development of it so far.

I think I'm no longer happy in a particular place I'm working in (since doctors here have multiple workplaces), and I can only try to escape sometimes, but the problems are so pervasive since they are ultimately systemic in nature. I don't know where else I can go, though. 😔

The thing with going on vacation is that while it does rejuvenate me for a while, when I go back I just return to the same problems, and somehow they are made even worse in my absence.

Also another reason why I'm not too fond of solo travelling is that I would like to try a lot of the local food, but I can't finish everything all on my own 🥲 Especially since servings are for more than one person, ehe.

Have you ever actually considered that maybe, just maybe, readers say they did not like your book because they simply just did not like it? And it's not bullying or an attack against you? 😅

That said, looking for suggestions for places to see in Denver, Colorado! (Also places to stay in that would not be super expensive 😅) (Note: I am not a super outdoorsy person ahaha, so maybe not long hikes or the like.)

In general, too, I like sharing experiences with other people. I tend to have so many thoughts, and especially more so when I'm traveling, that it's always better for me when there's someone to talk to, someone I'm already comfortable with (and not a stranger I met on the trip).

This is why solo travel has never been something "freeing" for me, because I have tried it too (forced by necessity), and it is never as enjoyable an experience for me as it is for some people.

That anxiety gets overwhelming sometimes, that I tend to put off things I need to do in order to actually get to those places (like visa applications, etc). It's more manageable when I do these things with someone else.

I realized that one of the reasons why I don't like traveling alone is that I often like to bounce ideas off other people, to dispel some of the anxiety I feel when going to a new place.
