Finally finished my first book!!! Lol, I knew that a romantic, no brainer will take me out of this reading rut. 😅😅😅

My partner gave me this cutesy XTEINK. I barely used my kindle but who am I to say no to a free ebook reader? 😇😇😇 #bookstodon

It's mango season. 🥭🥭🥭

I think I'm adjusting well now with the new progressive glasses. After several days of migraines and eye strains, that is. But it still feels weird wearing it the whole day. 😅 😅 😅

I don't know how to say this without sounding desperate or needy.

A lot of foundations who have been supporting our work, which are mostly US-based, are stepping away from supporting Global South grassroots movements. We are now looking at #mutualaid or individual fundraising as a means to compensate for the loss.

If you are feeling generous, and you have means to support a movement working on fighting inequalities, a regular monthly donation will come a long way.

Just realized how much I spent eating out. But TBH, it is one of those, "I grew up not eating out so much when I was younger" situation that I feel that I am compensating. I mean, not to be conceited about it, I can afford it. It's not like I am not saving and losing money. I noticed that I am spending way more because I started gaining a lot of weight. Which I think is also because of age. So I guess, what I am trying to say, eat out less, and maybe gain less too? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Fuel prices have already doubled. Imagine if you budgeted Php 2,000 for your monthly consumption and now need Php 4,000 to gas up. That's a huge f*ckin jump. 2k that can be use for food, water and other basic necessities. Hay.

I've been getting rejections left and right. Is there Mercury Retrograde? 😅😅😅
