  • Poem Comic: Please

    For December 14, 2023 Deep Dive into Poetry Comics Class Reading, taught by Madeleine Jubilee Saito through Push/Pull. I really enjoyed the class and learned so much. It opened me to new ways of experimenting and I’m excited to create even more. Made through Canva Pro

  • Pre-Punk Island

    Hi! This site is under construction as I changed hosts. But I wanted to have something up as I’m tabling today for Punk Island. I’m a little nervous because this will be my first time vending in years. But I had a blast at the last one in 2019 and it’s always good to meet…

  • I wanna grow with you

    It’s officially New Year’s Eve Fuck I’m in February and I haven’t updated this blog in well over a year (Mea Culpa). A lot has occurred so here are some highlights: I curated my second fortune cookie reading and had an interactive installation at The Lit Exhibit. I am so proud of all my readers,…

  • Learning to Love Myself More

    I haven’t written here in six months. Within that time span, I started to see someone new, intern at a beloved Asian American literary nonprofit, and took an online book art making workshop. Each endeavor making me happy in a variety of ways. In fact, I was at a baby shower, and my old friend…

  • A Sense of Wonder

    I finally finished my sketchbook project 2018! And today is the damn deadline lol. Just need to blog its entirety (yikes) and mail it off. YAY. I titled this work “A Sense of Wonder” because that succinctly embodies this book, for the reader (hopefully) and me. It’s also a line I took from one of…

  • mini book reviews & trying to move on

    I recently had to close a brief, beloved chapter/dream. I was a bookseller. I loved it. Those five months were the happiest, most fulfilling I ever experienced. I am sad to see it end, but I’m sure I’ll find another job to love. I miss the staff but I can always visit. Anyway, I accumulated…

  • Interview with Ano Ba

    I was featured in the Pilipinx diaspora zine Ano Ba and below is my mini interview. I’m in the second issue and the theme was anger. My piece was produced from a prompt from Serena Valentino‘s comic book script writing class. She asked us to write a dialogue (and strictly dialogue, no gestures or setting…

  • you are beautiful and necessary

    I think I have a problem with accepting compliments. I used to be really bad and think they’re lying and look at them weird and just brush it off. But now at least I can say thank you and smile, because I am genuinely touched that they said such sweet things. Yet, I still don’t…

  • [The Listserve] I’m not the failed savior

    NOTE: I won the lottery for The Listserve a year ago today. Here’s the instagram where I wrote about it. After two days and 600 words, this email below was the result. It was sent out 1/13/16. And while it landed in over 20k inboxes, I only received at most 10 replies but they were enough…

  • That Next Step

    I think I want to try a new approach to this blog. The original idea was for this to be solely for creative works, whether it was in the form of poetry, short stories, photos of the day, sketchbook spreads, collages, etc. But I decided to switch it up and include more personal material, like…
