musings

So so happy with the print I ordered from a local artist here in the PH. I’ve been seeing her videos on tiktok and sobrang nakyukyutan ako sa paintings niya. Manifesting na afford ko na ‘yung paintings niya soonest! I want to collect prints from different artists din!

Some photos I took with my fuji last saturday. :”)

Delivered my baby via emergency CS. Still processing everything right now. My body’s in shock, and so is my mind.

Almost all the mats I ordered from Shopee have arrived, and yesterday I finally got around to working on my DIY leather folio. I fell in love with the color palette instantly—it feels so personal, like it reflects me perfectly.

The edges still need some refinement. I’m waiting for the sander and glue so I can finish and polish everything neatly.

Next time, I’ll invest in genuine leather. For now, this cutesy version feels like the perfect place to start.

Current fixation: Mining stuffed toys like it’s my full-time job. 🧸⛏️😂

I’ve been collecting makeups these past few days because I just realized I’m already 30, yet I still don’t own a proper makeup bag. I’ve always been too lazy to get dolled up since most of the time, I don’t put anything on my face at all.

Aside from hitting my thirties, I also don’t want to neglect myself during this pregnancy and when the baby finally arrives. My mom always tells me to take care of myself so I won’t age too quickly — and honestly, I agree.

9th bf/gf anniversary ♡

Dumating 2 days ago yung inorder kong fountain pen. Hahaha, bagong trip nanaman pero promise ko sa self ko, pinakamahal na pen na bibilhin ko e yung tig 2k lang. So eto na nga, nagstart ako sa Jinhao 82, okay lang yung price, tapos bumili lang din ako ng Karkos na ink, mura lang siya and okay?? Lang naman ata (for me) yung quality. Di rin kasi ako maalam pa sa “standards” neto so maganda pa silang lahat for me. Hahaha!

Pero, pansin ko lang scratchy siya sa isang journal ko. So naisip ko nanaman bumili ng ibang notebook for diary next year. Tinry ko sa Kinbor ko, okays naman, pati sa common place journal ko, okay din. Hihi. Nag-iisip ako if ittry ko ba yung Midori notebooks pero teh??? 500+ for a notebook? Wag nalang. Hahahahahha. Buti nalang yung tig 95 pesos na notebook for commonplacing ko maganda for this fountain pen, siguro eto nalang irerepurchase ko for next year.

Some random snaps in my vsco app.

My cluttered desk. Dami ko ng stuffed toys, gusto ko sana iligpit pero they’re too cute para itago lang. Besides, may baby na kami next year, dagdag pampaaliw nalang sa eyes ni baby soon.

I’ve been practicing cooking since June, di nga lang palagi. Last night, I tried to cook Katsudon for the first time. Tsk! Ang sarap??? Kala ko talaga di ko ma aachieve, add lang siguro ako more eggs next time kasi pang good for 4 yung niluluto ko lagi e.

My longest hyperfixation? Eating dragon seed since college 😭 Ewan ko ba. I could eat this for hours, as in kahit nag rereview ako noon for boards, may pinapapak akong dragon seed lagi. Haha!

My commonplace journal and some stickers I printed. Entry ko jan is yung 2026 journal ecosystem ko and yung pag diy ko sana ng leather folio.

Another entry from my commonplace journal, nakita ko lang sa tiktok yung clips ng movie tapos na curious ako. Napaka weird ng movie!!! Pero ganon mga bet kong iwatch. Haha!

Natatawa lang ako. May nakikita kasi ako sa tiktok mga ganong videos, pag nabuntis asawa nila may pa gift sila. 🤣

Happy 8 yrs & 11 months, Dargey.

Naging routine ko na ‘to every night mag sulat sa journal ko. Well, nakakaproud talaga ako these days kasi di ako babad sa internet. Kaya di rin ako nakakapagshare or sulat dito lately, mas naeexpress ko kasi yung thoughts ko sa papel mismo, tapos wala akong pake kung mali mali grammar o spelling ko. Hahahahahaha. Pero okay, wag tularan, dapat kahit no judgement ang journal, I will try my best to write things in the right way parin. Hahaha.

Aside sa pag joujournal, nagbabasa rin ako ng books sa kindle ko. Though may pagka slow reader ako these days (pregnancy brain lol) atleast di ko nauubos time ko kaka doom scroll.

So far yun lang naman pinagagawa ko lately. Miss ko na rin mag golf kaso di pwede, limit muna ako sa physical activities kasi na trauma ako nung 1st trimester ko, nag spotting me. Ayokong maulit yon. 😖
