So I spotted a tiny rash the other day and my first thought wasn’t “maybe I brushed against a bush” or “I should change my detergent.” No. My brain, in its glorious hypochondriac majesty, screamed MEASLES. Not mild skin irritation, not a rogue mosquito bite—nope, full-on outbreak, cue […]
Sometimes, you just have to do it. You have to open up your streaming app of choice, lower your standards to basement-level, and dive headfirst into the cinematic dumpster fire that is purposefully bad movies. Not ironically. Not as background noise. No. You commit. And reader, I committed […]
There’s a certain kind of song that punches you right in the feels. I’m talking Coldplay’s “Hymn For The Weekend” — (“Put your wings on me”) — and of course, the iconic Bette Midler “Wind Beneath My Wings.” Go ahead, roll your eyes. It’s okay. They’re the kind […]
The other night, in a haze of weeknight exhaustion and leftover takeout, I found myself rewatching Notting Hill. Yes, that wonderfully charming ’90s rom-com where Hugh Grant blinks his way into Julia Roberts’ superstar heart. I was ready for the famous lines — “I’m just a girl, standing […]

The Tagalog word “gigil” has officially made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary’s list of words that are untranslatable in English. And let me just say, I love that this word exists, because it perfectly captures a feeling I know all too well. “Gigil” is that overwhelming […]
It happened again. After months of avoiding the chilly shadows, I’ve plunged right back into the abyss of Nordic Noir. This time, it’s The Åre Murders, and I’m hooked—again. Every six months or so, I find myself back in the icy depths of Scandinavia, vicariously solving brutal murders […]
How has technology changed your job? The year is 2025, and I’ve come to terms with a few things. The sun still rises in the east, my dogs still bark at invisible ghosts, and no matter how much I blink, the dishes never disappear from my sink. There’s […]
