Hello, you've found me. I used to write on Substack, but I figured I wanted to write about mundane things in my life, too - so this is my safe space for t...
Through the years, I've tried many different creative and personal outlets. I've tried graphic design, songwriting, crochet, and video editing. But the one constant thing has always been writing. The earliest I can remember was writing short stories at age 9 for my dad who was working abroad at the time. I didn't want to become a writer professionally, but I enjoyed reading and writing. When I was…
I used to feel weird about people saying 'Sorry, I've been gone for a while,' because I don't think we should feel obligated to constantly share pieces of ourselves online. Except it's been a month (two if you don't count my last weeknote) since I last posted a blog and I almost wanted to say, 'Sorry, I've been gone for a while.' In a draft that I didn't end up publishing, I wrote about how I…
from june 7 to 13, 2026 hello, friends. i'm trying out another format once again. i used to want everything in my life to be uniform (maybe i still do?) but then i realized that with change comes progress. and it's kinda fun to look back and see how far you've gone. after all, life's too short to go crazy over not having the same weeknotes format i started when i was twenty-three. anyways, the…
from may 31 to june 6, 2026 hello, friends. it's weird, i opened up my dashboard thinking i was behind two weeknotes. turns out i wasn't! time is flying weirdly now that i get more and more engrossed with work. i know, i know. i keep mentioning work. i guess i'm really leaning into this new major driver of my routines nowadays because i've been unemployed for 10 months after graduation, and within…
from may 24 to 30, 2026 hello, friends. i realized that up until this week i didn't have an rss reader. or i did, but then forgot about it. i have been manually looking up blogs i often read to see new posts. which isn't bad, per se. it makes reading them slow and intentional. but i also miss out on most posts. anyway, i just want to say i finally got an rss reader (again)! this week i also…
from may 17 to 23, 2026 hello, friends. it's tuesday (may 26) as of writing this and i'm aware i'm two days late on my usual weeknotes schedule but i absolutely could not remember what happened last week lmao. on top of my head, i finally met K, a newcomer like me in our team. her table's directly across from me and i caught her accidentally sleeping (we laughed about it later). my sister…
I was going through some photos I’ve taken with my digicam when I realized I went out with my parents simultaneously last week. In an earlier series of photos, I had shots of the National Museum. I already visited it twice — once with my sister around the pandemic and another time with my friends (also around the pandemic) — but it was my dad’s first time in a long time. I don’t think he has ever…
may 10-16, 2026 hello, friends. i’ve been wanting to make some changes with how i write and deliver my weeknotes. i think i’ll experiment for a bit and attempt at delivering it through letters instead. perhaps my lack of journaling caused this itch (‘journal entries: 0’ for the last few weeks.) i want to make it less robotic and a little bit more personal. like someone updating a friend through…
I received the news over a week ago, and until now, I'm still not sure if I could write about this coherently. But I got the dream job!!! The past 10 months have been filled with doubts, anxiety, and grief. It was the most confusing transition of my life, stepping out of school and into the 'real world'. Nobody told me that a huge part of that would be an awkward and anxious waiting period. Months…
May 3-9, 2026 Media Film Enchanted (2007) - autoplayed on the TV after my mom watched Beauty and the Beast (2017) and left it on. i've seen this film a lot of times before (as a child), but i only now noticed how Giselle was the only one wearing a modern dress in the King and Queen's Ball. (Let us pretend the sequel is not canon and does not exist for the sake of my sanity.) Everyone Knows Every…
