i guzzle books

I sniff books. I breathe words. I have an eclectic taste in literature. I'm a self-proclaimed book glutton. I'm obsessed with books. It's part of my problem or one of my virtues. Depends on your point of view. I'm crazy about SUPERNATURAL!! So I fangirl sometimes. Please. Just. Bear with it. Thanks. (Photos are not mine unless stated.)

Sometimes “no” needs to be the answer as well. I can’t satisfy everyone when I’ll be suffering next to it.

Warning: EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AT WORK.

Warning: EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AT WORK.

Remember when five years ago you used to ask yourself, ‘Will I ever make it?’ And five years later, you’re still asking the same. Another five years ahead, on a day like this, and it’ll be too taxing to even ask. At least, motivational quotes worked fine in those days. Read a few and you were raring to go.

Pandemic blues

This is a strange time to write again. Yet this is a strange time I must write about.

I hadn’t written in this blog since early 2018. I guess I was too preoccupied with my transition to adulthood (which I must also write about in another post, a lot later). Today, I wanted to document my thoughts. So that five, ten years from now, I’ll revisit this blog and recall this part of history through…

Joanne at 22

It was March 18, 2016. Our batch’s Baccalaureate Mass and Hooding Ceremony. We were giddy with excitement because the next day was the day we’ve all been waiting for four long years – GRADUATION. Our parents were with us, seated beside us. We were wearing our toga, green and shiny. Our faces light with make up. The coliseum’s air conditioning was just enough to ward off the heat.
