good 4 u

I had my nails done today. I was planning to get cateye again but opted for chrome instead. I am so happy! I think I'm in one of my happiest whenever I have nice nails!

LOOK HOW SHINY AND SPARKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also love my nail tech because her hands are so light and she's so meticulous!!!!! I think I'll always just come back to her!

I want somebody

I'm back to listening to Kyungsoo's Somebody!!!! That EP was THE BEST. B E S T BEST! Anyway, he's coming back to Manila this January. I messaged Jodie but idk if we're going to watch. 🤔 (Can I just say I miss my MBP touchbar?? Emojis were so much easier to put because I just had to slide slide slide)

ANYWAYYYYYY, today is such a lazy day. I woke up at around 7-ish because I had an 8 am appointment with the GOAT, Dra. Mariano. Then after the consultation, chichi a bit with my parents then went back to my room and I watched A Toxic Love Story documentary. Bitch, the plot twist?? It was so WILD and it sucked because it happened in real life! I don't want to spoil anything but omg watch it because WHAT THE FUCK. 

OMG CAN I GEEK OUT A BIT? So, in my previous post I mentioned that I love Anna Dorn, right? BITCH, SHE LIKED MY TWEET!

It's not a verified account but based on the tweets I really think it's her OMFG! I AM FREAKING OUT! I'm seriously going to read all her novels!

Theeeeen, added some new cool fonts on both my KLC and Kindle PPW! Then I took a 2-hour nap HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH woke up around 6 pm and had dinner. Then I took a bath and this is my current sitch:

This is the face mask I'm using. Which I bought in Australia! There used to be a Tony Moly in North EDSA but I haven't been in SM North, like, for more than 6 months so I'm not sure if it's still there

This is me now. My biweekly face mask sesh with the face mask struggling to cover my big ass forehead 

 

ANYWAYYYYYY, idk, chill day, chill day. It's still raining but there was a bit of sun for a few hours. Hopefully, the rain would stop pouring so hard. I love it but omg the flood in other areas???? So, idk, really hope it stops soon.

Faced with the dodo's conundrum

Omg hello happy Augusttttttt! I'm currently reading my 66th novel for 2026 yayyyy me! It's Jawbone by Monica Ojeda.

I actually kind of went back to my roots this August and devoured back to back weird girl lit.

You know, I LIKE THE WAY ANNA DORN WRITES! If I have no job, I would've finished this novel in a day. ANYWAYYYYYY, I also really enjoyed Perfume and Pain! I think I'm going to read all of her books. BUT WORD OF ADVICE, I think it's better to read Vagablonde first before American Spirits because there were subtle references (I FEEL) in American Spirits that sort of went over my head.

I like weird girl lit and my ultimate favorites are Sugar by Mia Ballard and Boy Parts by Eliza Clark. Bitch, Boy Parts was HILARIOUS. I am not kidding you! For something so unhinged and disturbing, Eliza Clark managed to put some humor into it! 

I laughed so hard when I read this part!

There were so many more hilarious passages and dialogues. I'll try to look for it when my Kindle is within reach because I'm honestly too lazy to get it right now.

ANYWAY, I'm only 11% in Jawbone but so far so good! I'm a mood reader so I hope I can commit to this!

Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

Omg lookie! I edited this using tiktok HAHAHAHAHAHA but posted it on my socials. Omg I can finally use Australia by The Shins! That song is STILL such a banger!

Check out some of my favorite videos from our trip:

ALSOOOOO, look at my current KLC screensavers! Such cuties!

This was the first one I tried to tweak so the name is kind of out of place haha

But look at my KLC in general. I'm posting because I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!!!!!

My favorite sub-genre (I FEEL LIKE IT IS) of literary fiction (my favorite genre) is weird girl lit. Give me an unapologetic, unhinged, and deranged woman ANY TIME.

SOOOOOOO, in connection with thatttttt. I was only able to finish 6 novels last month because I was busy doing touristy stuff for 21 days! It's still lucky that I was able to finish 3 novels during that time! At this point, I'm just 63 novels in when I SHOULD BE ON MY 80th NOVEL AT LEAST!!!!! Because my New Year's resolution was to read AT LEAST 10 novels A MONTH! I am so behind HUHUHUHUHU

Anyway, I'm currently reading My Husband by Maud Ventura and I'm currently 51% in! I am digging her obsession HAHAHAHAHAHA and, HONESTLY, so far, her lack of self-awareness. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

You'd be damned to be one of us, girl, faced with a dodo's conundrum

Omg I have a lot of June drafts but I am SO lazy and uninspired to edit it so idk maybe it'll remain in my drafts forever haha

ANYWAYYYYY, I just got back from a 21-day Australian vacay yesterday. We were able to go to Sydney (I mean, duhhh, obvs), Melbourne (where I met up with Gego!!!! OMG GEGO!!!!! 19 years of friendship, around 14 years of not seeing each other, but when we saw each other, it's like nothing changed!!!), and Canberra!

The highlights:

• I bought a Salomon XT6
• I bought Nike Shox TL
• I bought perfume, nail polish, jeans, tops, a bra, a bag, and most importantly:
• I bought A BRAND NEW KOBO LIBRA COLOURRRRRR!!! GAAAAHHHH I AM SO HAPPY!!!!! I bought it for roughly around PHP 19k (but with an OG case already) +++ there's tax refund sooooo I got it for around PHP 17k lang! I saw some shops here in the PH, KLC + case would sell roughly between PHP 21k-25k SO I STILL GOT MINE FOR CHEAP!!

It was a really fun trip! I saw my uncles and my cousins A LOT. So, I heard a lot of stories of their childhood ++++ anecdotes about my paternal grandparents. It made me miss my grandparents a lot! Especially my grandfather. He was so chiiiill and cool talaga when he was alive. 

I'll just dump photos because I'm lazy haha. Maybe I'll edit it when I'm feeling chatty.
