and if i say this is a zero context hint about my next book? (not an actual writing snippet, just nico rosberg casually crashing out about lewis hamilton)

hello, i just finished the first draft of funnywip please cheer

i wrote nearly 5k words yesterday please cheer

hi, so what did i miss?

i like how im convinced that the only thing that’s stopping me from being an f1 wag is that im short

no one asked but this is my fav still from the manchild mv, as someone who has been told my entire life to just close my eyes and count sheep until i fall asleep wHEN I SIMPLY CANT

unsolicited life update:

not to make everything about funnywip but this is so funnywip coded

does anyone know any good entertainment publications right now looking for pitches? i have a piece in mind related to animation and representation #journorequest

not to make everything about the conclave but IF a filipino cardinal becomes pope and the king of spain attends his inaugural mass, that would be a full circle moment right there. the pictures would go so hard.

mabuhay ang uring manggagawa!

it’s may day eve, of course i’m thinking about this iconic sentence.

I know everyone’s talking about Conclave right now, but if you haven’t already, I highly recommend seeing The Two Popes (2019). Stellar performance from Jonathan Pryce and a great insight into Pope Francis’ views.

during the holy father’s 12-year tenure as pope, he called for a more inclusive church despite conservative resistance. in his final hours, he called for peace and the cessation of violence in christ’s homeland. for all our sakes, i pray that we see his like again. rest in His kingdom, pope francis.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

Lately I’ve been trying to figure out which platform to best utilize sharing my work since creating can tend to be a lonely experience. It feels wrong to do it now on Twitter/X for obvious reasons and I still can’t figure out Threads. Instagram feels too…challenging.

my dream is for me (and by extension, my friends and loved ones) to become so successful to the point that my children receive nepo baby allegations

The Empire State Building is emerald green tonight to celebrate the 100th birthday of The Great Gatsby. Did you know that, in the manuscript of the novel, Fitzgerald at one time had two green lights? He settled on just one, at the end of Daisy's dock. Many fêtes, my fellow Gatsby lovers.

we are SO back

finished sotr (i want to kill myself)

i hit the 50% mark on sunrise on the reaping the other night while a few feet away from me, my brother rewatched the first movie. i was this close to absolutely losing my mind.

I’ve been saying this for three episodes now, but I need Lochlan’s shirt. #TheWhiteLotus

I wrote about my kind, funny childhood friend Michelle Trachtenberg, and the group of friends that saved my life when I was a kid. www.vulture.com/article/mara...

secured a copy of sunrise on the reaping but i’m putting off reading until next week bc i dont think im ready to suffer YET

39 years ago, Filipinos marched to the streets of EDSA and demanded our freedom. May we never forget the people who paved the way there at the cost of their own lives. #EDSA39 #EdsaPeoplePower

I can’t believe Barbie Hsu is gone. All flags across Southeast Asia should be at half-mast today because we just lost Shancai???????

best believe that all of my filipina mc’s will have tanned skin. this is for the little girl in me who grew up hearing nothing but “oh, imagine how prettier you could be if you had lighter skin!” i was worthy then, i still am worthy now.

lately ive been asking myself why i havent written a book set in law school yet

adulthood is realizing that sometimes it truly just is you and your desk calendar against the world

i can’t believe we’re still having this argument in 2025—no amount of “extensive” research should eclipse the efforts of writers speaking from their lived experiences. let writers of color write their own stories. it’s the least everyone could do. thanks.

capping off the day with a quick writing session while listening to balloonerism

accidentally woke up at 2:30am earlier and then heard the news about david lynch’s passing i aM NOT OK

how am i just finding out that letterboxd counts rewatches in your diary now?

i once told my boyfriend he was singing offkey while he was driving and he disagreed but started the song again out of spite (i think his filipino ancestors compelled him)

im rewatching the iron claw with my family (they have never seen it yet) and they just reacted to the dad ranking the von erich kids according to his favorites. me: it gets sadder LMAO

is it really a first draft if it doesn’t convince you that it’s the worst thing you’ve ever written

im writing at a coffee shop and they just started playing the old philippine national anthem (forever and always by taylor swift)

The procession of the feast of the Black Nazarene never ceases to amaze me—nearly a million Filipinos traversing the streets of Manila to walk with a miraculous image of Christ, hoping to get a glimpse or perhaps touch it. It leaves the metro at a standstill,

my week is made i will carry this with me forever goODBYE

i'll probably take this back when i'm working on revisions but i'm enjoying writing my new book so much. i've been saving writing about my culture and heritage for the longes time now and it's been such a fun experience so far.

my first movie of the year is cinema paradiso. cue the girl who’s gonna be ok meme.

happy new year, friends. may this one be kind. ✨

wrote 2.7k words this new year’s day 🤓
