entry arrow2:39 PM | Here We Go

Ready, tentatively, to re-embrace the world after a dark period of mourning and disappointments. Fortifying my mind, channeling Dolly De Leon’s undefeated spirit, and echoing Jinx Monsoon’s mantra: “Water off the duck’s back.” But also mindful about balance.

entry arrow10:30 PM | Burger Therapy







Drained after Dolly de Leon missed out on the Oscar nomination tonight. The only way to deal is food therapy. So I’m taking The Menu’s Margot Mills’ cue: grab a [bacon] cheeseburger to escape.

entry arrow5:22 PM | Raise Your Arches

This short film, “Raise Your Arches,” which Edgar Wright directed for McDonald’s is brilliant. The simplicity of the story, sans burger or store. The meme-able eyebrow-raising. The iconic score from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

entry arrow7:58 PM | Grief

My family has been grappling with a medical crisis over the holiday season, and it has been challenge over the past few weeks to deal with. It's our first of this kind of challenge since my father died 27 years ago. I've gone through the various stages of grief already, denial in particular, and then back again. I honestly don't know what to do, so I just try to remember to breathe.
