Friday the 13th holds no fear here
We are protected, guided, and untouchable.

This is not justice. This is betrayal from the Senate.

The Senate's decision to return the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte is a stark betrayal of the public’s right to truth and accountability. With an 18-5 vote, our senators chose to protect the powerful by being cowards behind technicalities instead of doing their constitutional duty to serve as an impeachment court. This is not how democracy works. This is political theatrics, not public service.

We demand better from our elected representatives. DAKILA calls on the Senate to reverse this decision and on the House of Representatives to stand its ground. We call on the Filipino people to stay vigilant—because this fight for justice doesn’t end in the halls of government. Not until all corrupt officials are stripped of their power by the Filipino people shall our work be done.

✨️Basa Tala is on Hiatus✨️

Since January, I felt that I was burning the candle on both ends (my passion project and at work)

January pa lang, HEIROPHANT na sumisigaw saakin: access additional knowledge, sharing what I know, and enhancing my skills.

February naman, in denial pa ako and I sought help from a fellow reader who assured me my stress will pass (if I let it)

March and April... tinamad lola nyo.

May, tinutubuan na ako ng 🍄 so I'm finally working on getting a few certifications here and there.

I may or may not be in events this year at all. Online readings are also on pause until I can confidently deliver 100%. Thank you for your support and your patience.

See you all when Basa Tala returns!

We all have work. Loads of responsibilities. But its reassuring knowing that it won't always be burdensome. Horaay for ✨️optimism✨️

So... I bought a new deck. What led me to this? I met this beaut during the Journal Tambay event, but I didn't think that I was ready for something new. 🫡 I am now.

I hope - Atrium of Makati's destash station remains open because look at how much is left. I feel lighter already. 🦋 No before pictures basta trust me na punong puno yan and super disorganized.

Left my stuff in the boxes, the super staff 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ sorted them and within minutes I saw other people picking up the items I left.

No pictures of the destash because baka may mahurt na di ko nagamit yung mga binili/binigay. Madami brand new doon and lightly used.

But now I feel better about buying new stuff for 2025 because wow, I'm seeing new artists enter the scene 🤩 letzgo
