  • on the rewards of slothism

    I have lived by several mottos through my (19-years-one-week-and-ongoing) life. One is Time enjoyed is time not wasted; another is No regrets, and also maybe You only live once, when I’m feeling especially ultra-dated-mainstream. In effect, my philosophy in life is always to do things that I enjoy for myself (because, perhaps, my life motto…

Some of the books here are so loved that I have two copies, one to read and one to cherish. Some of them aren’t even with…

  • UPMDC Vibes!

    Prepping for a lot of things, stressed out for a couple of reasons. But I am a super woman! So –time to study, pack my things and study some more!

  • Current Events :)

    It pays to be informed. In a move critics call “policing femininity,” recent rule changes by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the governing body of track and field, state that for a woman to compete, her testosterone must not exceed the male threshold. If it does, she must have surgery or receive hormone…

    I like making cards for various occasions. (And I can be persuaded take commissions!)
