A few months ago, I saw Lyn Lapid live. Her concert was—at the time—what I needed. Fun songs, good energy, and sweaty dancing. Catchy melodies.

Anyway, have a read about Lyn and her new-ish album which has brought me joy in a time of tumult.

Sitting in cappella Paolina in Rome for mass which was supposed to start at 12pm. It’s now 12:12pm. I love how they run on Filipino time.

For my 26 followers, I’m pleased to announce I have 55,000 words left to go on my novel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also looking forward to the planetary parade tomorrow night. 🪐

I wrote about “Hip Hop—Living a Dream” currently at Galerie Bene Taschen in Cologne. The show features the work of Jamel Shabazz, Joseph Rodriguez & Gregory Bojorquez chronicling the fashion, fans, swagger and sweat of the music genre. observer.com/2024/12/revi...

I saw this t-shirt today at a vintage shop and I wanted to buy it but I couldn’t get behind the message. Ehhh

Also I just have 75,000 words to go on my book. Slow but steady.

Some retailers: we won’t be doing any Black Friday offers.
Same retailers: Are you ready for Cyber Monday?!?!?!?!

Found my fashion mantra

2,000 words, 78,000 to go on “mix mix” the book.

Just in case anyone asks (I’m also writing it here as some kind of proof), the (working) title of my book is Halo Halo.

I’m telling everyone that I got caught between the moon and New York City. Don’t ask what happened next.

And this one just came out a few days ago: a story on fashion photographer Viviane Sassen’s show “PHOSPHOR” at foam Amsterdam.

And for my 3 current followers and future ones, here’s something I wrote that was published recently. Thanks @ymmayer.bsky.social for agreeing to this interview on race relations, being Asian & sharing stories of generation trauma through the lens of humor.

Also strangely listening to Badly Drawn Boy which is maybe considered “vintage” music? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I should be working on a deadline. Instead I’m taking photos of someone who I’ll call my writing assistant. She seems concerned the clock is ticking.

Just saying hello to everyone and no one.
