life updates – Sep 2026

creating a /now page has been on my to-do list ever since I came across the idea.

i rarely post on social media anymore. i’m stepping away from the exhausting algorithm, sharing these things here in my little corner of the internet instead.

here’s my first entry, following the prompt: What would I tell a friend I haven’t met in a year?

life lately

• settling into my new home and adjusting to married life
• intentionally adding quality pieces to my closet, as i left most of my things behind. carousell and fb marketplace are still my best friends for good-as-new secondhand clothes

what i’m working on

• restarting this blog; getting back into writing and journaling more frequently
• creating a shared task management system for me and my husband
• at work: turning manual workflows into skills and projects in Claude

learning

• how to sew and repair clothes
• markdown for faster, more organized notes

reading

• A World Without Email – Cal Newport
• Lyra’s Oxford – Philip Pullman
• Soledad’s Sister – Jose Dalisay

all three I got from an NBS clearance sale last month. finding brand new books i like at discounted prices feels like finding treasure

watching

• Avatar: The Last Airbender (animated series)
• Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

playing

• Don’t Starve Together
  • not much of a gamer myself, but playing this to bond with my sister over the long distance
