So I'm kind of in love with this book.

Slant of Light/Hilig ng Liwanag: Mga piling saling-tula ni Emily Dickinson — Faye Cura

The cinematography in 10Dance is so gorgeous. It wasn't a perfect adaptation, but it still tugged at my heart.

Over and over again, I'm reminded of how much I love Ted Chiang’s stories.

Today's shoot was hot and tiring, but God, was the sunset after beautiful. 🌻

Bruises — Jane Hirshfield

(Because the heart carries everything. Even that which we think we lost.)

Signs I'm healing—

I haven't made callos since the Christmas before she left. I kept telling myself that it was too labor intensive (it is), but the truth is I didn't have the heart to anymore.

Today was the first time I cooked it again in over two years. No real reason. Just because I wanted to.

Some days just feel like this. Still coming to terms with all that was.

Halfway through, and this book is making my heart hurt because it's been forcing me to think about our very real future and what that might look like. But it's also very vivid, complex, and strange in all the ways that tickle my brain.

At my shoot tonight and there's a lull. I'm just sitting on the staircase and listening to the conversations while waiting to take the group photo later.

All these stories are so heartbreaking. And everyone is so courageous. And even if I'm not a participant, I feel so connected to everyone here.

Flour. Water. Salt. Time.

Counting again. 978 today.

Inhale. Exhale.

I showed up for the shoot today despite the exhaustion.

That thing they talk about in somatic experiencing re integration and the waves it can bring up? Yeah, it's real. But what I was reminded of, is that this is a season, and not a sentence. I'm going to be okay.

This was a pretty good day. 🌻

Some friends and I went up to the shed for a few minutes before the moving ritual began, just to say goodbye. K said that the energy had already left the place, and I agree with him.

The new location has some of that energy now. I know it'll grow. Maybe it won't be the same, but it will be its own.

Perhaps the reason why I'm feeling so emotional is that this place really held me as I was piecing myself back together.

I know it sounds silly, because of course I can still return. The coffee shop is still there, even though the bookshop has moved. But I know (of course), it isn't the same.

It's only my very best friends who can tell me straight up to stop doubting myself. And I always appreciate it when they do.

Thank you, P. 🌻

Yup. 🍜

The past two days were crap. 😑

Funny how such a small thing today instantly lifted my mood. Grateful also for the company of friends.

That's probably enough for today. 🌻
February 6, 2026 at 12:40 PM
Yeah. That kind of evening.

The one I got feels really apt.

Despite all my heartache and anxiety from the past few years, I was reminded today that I'm still fortunate to be working with a team of people who treat each other with kindness and respect.

Long Zoom meetings tend to make me antsy, so I usually have something to fidget with. Today it was origami paper to fold paper cranes with, and my favorite green aventurine. 🌻
