...of which I started my 22nd year of me being here on this planet with a "better anticipate the unexpected" mindset. For me, I have grown tired of the usual expecting-gifts-from-people-who-know-me-a-lot shtick, especially with the current worldwide economic situation where even a single piece of high-quality merch costs around P1500 to reliably ship, with import fees added. But anyways!

2022 was also a year where I delved into other creative sub-paths, now in depth and with a deep commitment, as well as meeting new people with diverse interests and specialities, be it online and/or IRL, and where I found out I did more music than art in general.

So, here's to another journeyful year of discovering and honing the self!
