I miss this blog soooo much! I pretty much left it the way it was since 2023 and I think for now, I like the way it looks aesthetically. But HOW ARE YOU ALL? I don't even know who is even around to see this, but I just have to try. I never actually truly left blogging, it's pretty much in my blood these days. Since I don't journal (I have one, but I have a tough time being religious about it), I have to blog.
Three years ago, I transferred to Wordpress from Blogger and stayed there for about a good two years, but it never felt the same. I like the community that I was in during the good old blogging days and just the simplicity of writing itself. Oh, and I miss the blogwalking experience and leaving a hello in people's chat boxes too! Who still does that, I don't know, you must tell me. I just feel like I've been isolating myself for so long that I don't know what people do these days.
Let's see, updates, oooh, let me share my updates! I'm married; we know that I think that was the last big announcement I shared back then. I now am a happy mother of FOUR cats; the youngest one was just cat-napped from the streets in April this year and he is settling down very well with his new brothers and sister. I will tell you all about them soon if you're interested.
I'm back to reading all sorts of books; fantasy, classics, science fiction—you name it. I'm currently in a reading slump with Oathbringer by THE Brandon Sanderson from the Stormlight Archive series. It's... over a thousand page long but it's not the thickness of the book that's bringing me down per say, but the pacing of the book. Lots happen but the pacing doesn't add up, does that make any sense? I'll write a review of this once I'm done tackling the book.
My TBR books are as high as ever, thought you should know. I last shared my modest shelves of book when I was still living with my in-laws. Now it's almost out of control, I literally don't have enough shelves to home them all. My only wish: that I read as fast as I buy books. Okay, more like, I wish I have the same attention span to read as I did as a kid. Nowadays, I read a couple of pages and then I'm back to sticking my face to my phone. MUST HAVE DISCIPLINE. This is obviously still a work in progress.
Oooh, I also curate a TikTok account where I share book content and reviews if you'd like to visit! I'm quite proud of my updates in there
I also occasionally write on Substack which is this blogging platform for writers and authors. I mostly do it so I can polish up on my writing and train myself to write better reflective essays. You can visit and read my website if you like! >>> my substack <<<
On another note, by some miracle, I'm now a morning person. GASP. I know, who knew this day would come? Back in 2025, my sleeping hours were somewhere between 3 a.m. to 12 p.m., and I was only wide awake at 3 p.m. for anything productive. Somehow that all changed (when the fire nation arrived... kidding) when I got medication for my mental health (this update will be shared soon) and it sort of fixed it, among other things. Since then, I'm up at the crack of dawn and can write a number of articles during the late mornings. I have more controlled and productive hours than I did before.
I think that's all the updates I can think of on the top of my head right now. I'll share the rest in my upcoming posts here!
In the meantime, LET ME STALK YOU!
Share your blog/website links, I'd love to visit and see how you've been doing!
