The invisible loss of Miscarriage
It’s a rather difficult subject to write about, and I haven’t openly disclosed this experience of mine besides to a few very close friends and family members. To get pregnant when you desire to be is a limitless amount of joy, and even more so if you have a partner to share it with. It…

Destiny is like sailing
The eternal debate between fate and free will has kept more than one of us awake. Even in religion—at least in Catholicism, the culture I was brought up in—there is God Almighty, yet we’re still given free will. So even there, in the thick of belief, things aren’t that clear. I’m not religious myself, but…

2026 Social Media Refresh
This year, I want to change the way I consume the internet. I’m usually pretty good at controlling my social media usage. I don’t spend too much time on it. I avoided TikTok for the longest time, and I mostly try to focus on content that genuinely makes me happy. But last year changed a…

How I became Creative Director
I’ve always been creative, or at least, I was always referred to as an “artist” by family and friends. Sometimes, it was a kinder way to say I was weird. Somehow, I managed to make it my profession. In an era of social media frenzy, where everyone can self-identify as whatever the hell they want,…

The ocean can wait…
Daiki and I surf 3 to 4 times a week. Needless to say, our weekends and vacation days are fully dedicated to the ocean. Daiki also has a particular hatred for the desert, the heat and dryness makes him feel claustrophobic. So he wasn’t convinced when I one day suggested for us to visit Grand…

Acceptance…
I am not ready to talk about it yet, with anyone, and let alone the internet. But I have been dealing with a medical related issue for the past year. It’s been hard, for both my body and my mind. The hardest part, has been that I had to give up some of the activities…

Everlasting outcast.
I always felt “out of place”, for as long as I can remember. At first, I didn’t think much about the differences. I had just arrived and was barely discovering this world. But it didn’t take long to realize it was more hell than paradise on earth. Maybe it’s because of the way my parents…

If I could do it, all again…
I would probably be a Volcanologist, or Seismologist living in Hawaii, taking the pulse of our planet for a living. When I was studying architecture, I had a Geology class that was absolutely fascinating. It was so easy to absorb all the knowledge because it was like listening to the early history of earth. A…

Prompt n*8
I love history, so naturally I have a lot of favorite historical figures—but the first one that always comes to my heart and mind is Jeanne d’Arc. The fact that she beat all the odds by traveling alone, at just 19 years old—and as a woman—through enemy-occupied France, just to speak to the future king…
