[ : 05.17.2026 ── ⟡ ˙🌱 ̟] I attended a retreat, which is a requirement for us graduating students, and we had an activity where we must draw a symbol or something that represent ourselves. I ended up choosing a bunny for some reason—not because they do actually represent me, I just love them. Also, I'm not good with crayons. I've always struggled using them. I guess I say "screw color theory" and I just wing it.

[🌱 05.05.2026] My friend needed help with her schoolwork. Though, 60% of it involved yapping about stuff lol. Plus, I drew a floor plan for my home in Sky: Children of the Light. In the end, we had a great time and the air conditioner saved us from the heat outside.

[🌱 05.01.2026] | I’ve been neglecting my studies a bit, especially I’m taking a reviewer course. So time to open my focus apps, and I had some companion to watch over me, making sure that I am studying.

for all those empty journals you may have and don’t know what to do with.

I spent a lovely afternoon at Oxford's Corpus Christi College, where early blossoms are brightening the gardens 🌸🌿. It has a warren of courtyards entered through a variety of doors and passageways and College legend says these interconnected quadrangles inspired Lewis Carroll in his description of Alice’s journey through Wonderland ✨.

Read magical Oxford stories here *:･ﾟ✧!

Here are some classic views of Oxford at Christmas 🌟: A Christmas tree twinkles in the Old Schools Quadrangle and a dog looks out a wreathed window in Blackwell's Bookshop nearby 🐶🎄!

Merry Christmas, everyone🎄💖 I hope all of you have a good holiday, especially my fellow college students ✨️

To have a vanity like that is a dream 🥹

[🌱 10.06.2025] I had so much fun yesterday at cosplay mania. The last time I attended an anime con was around before the pandemic. I know midterm exams are near, but I just want to take a break and unwind for once in a while.

I bought several things, but most of it is for my beautiful friends who are fans of LADS. I should have brought more money because there is so much good stuff in the artist alley. Plus, the artists I interacted with are so lovely 🥹

Honestly, just seeing everyone worked so hard ignites my motivation to start making art again. It has been a long while since I touched my paintbrush and watercolor pans. And I want to try cosplaying someday. I just don't have the budget to begin with (；∀； )

[🌱 09.25.2025] We had an event today, and we're required to attend it. Wearing a bolero at hot weather makes me feel like fainting 🥲 But anyway, the school suddenly announced suspension of classes, though it's only effective starting 12 noon, which is wild. At least, the event was fun. The last activity I participated in had us walk down the "runway" (; ￣∇￣)

This is the 1st time I’m addressing politics in my socials but I need to adress this to y’all for those who aren’t 🇵🇭

My people are protesting about the disgusting corruption on our government

[dearest-lula]

This is also my first time addressing politics here in my account as well. If you are uncomfortable encountering this kind of content, then you may continue to scroll.

For non-filipinos, here is the context of what's happening in my country, the Philippines. Screenshot is from Twitter.

Behind the scenes, I often cursed at the absurdity and stupidity of this country — how much I have hated living here because of... almost everything. I couldn't bother expressing such feelings because people will think that I'm being "racist" to my own kind, I don't carry patriotism, I'm uplifting other countries and putting my own down, or whatever shit they want to spout.

I hated my country because it could have been so much better if it weren't for corrupted politicians, as well as those hypocrites, assholess, bootlickers, mga ignorante (ignorant people) supporting these kinds of people. All that money could have improved the lives of many filipinos, and maybe the infrastructure of the country in general.

To my fellow filipinos, please do not stop fighting for the betterment and continue raising our voices.

Mahal kita pilipinas, pero mahirap ka mahalin.
