But I feel overwhelmed by this daunting task even though I know it’s 100% the right move.
From now until Thursday I will be living off of caffeine and pausing writing only for work, sleep, & the Formula 1 race this afternoon.
Send help.
I have a writing deadline this week and folks, I am ✨struggling✨.
I’ve been reworking my entire manuscript - changing the main character’s emotional journey entirely.
This is so exciting!!! I’m fascinated that Cadillac is getting into the F1 world so a doc is awesome!
Holy hell this race #SilverstoneGP is chaos. At least the new viewers from the #F1 movie won’t be disappointed!
Plus the 30 second phone calls because I texted him “what’s your family’s lugaw recipe” and he called me five minutes later repeating what his mom told him. ♥️
In these dark times I’d like to publically thank @justinquizon.bsky.social for being my best friend and the 3 hour phone calls we have about the end of the world, movies, and the Filipino experience.

Please everyone stay safe and strong tomorrow (Sat 6/14/25). I have family obligations so I can’t participate in the marches. But I’m trying to repost and share information as much as I can. Sending money to friends for water and supplies.
I love you, be safe.
Fuck Trump.
Fuck Ice.

Listening to the last couple of hours of ‘Morning Star’ by Pierce Brown while I build bookcases.
This Red Rising series has gutted me countless times at this point.

Fireplace built ins get teenage favorites and manga.
The tv/room library will get the moody, the dark academia, the gas lamp fantasy, and the classics.
(At least that’s how I’ve planned it in my mind 😅)
Steve’s study is getting the biographies, my WWII non-fiction, as well as books about and by Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds. My office is keeping my All Time Favorites and books on the craft of writing.
Linen-closet-turned-bookcase is for fun favorites.
However, now is the grueling task of rearranging all my books because I can’t just put new books in new cases!! They need proper homes!!
My main bookcases are in my office, the linen closet in my hallway that I converted to a bookcase, and the built ins on either side of the fireplace.
Inevitably I’ve run out of room & so we turned our dinning room into a tv room/library with two huge bookcases. Also one in Steve’s study.

I’m in a rough phase of my life right now and winning tickets to see Cabaret (two days before my birthday!!) thru the Broadway lottery feels like a hug from the Universe reminding me everything will be okay ♥️
Hahahah no, I’ve always been terrible at them
OKAY. Somebody DM me and tell me why I should keep watching #TheLastOfUs cause be for real.
Race day! ♥️♥️♥️ @f1tv.bsky.social @charlesleclercx.bsky.social
Once again The Pitt proves that it is currently the best show on television.
But I’m afraid that this penultimate episode was a deep breath, a moment of calm before the absolute shit show the season finale is going to be.
LMAOOOOOOO LFG
White Lotus is just pissing me off now
