Engaging. But not exactly as mesmerizing. It made me miss Singapore though, with its Iloilo film as nostalgia.

Weaving hard science like math into the fluid prose of romance and relationships is not in my bingo card this year, but the slow cadence of the novel made me fall in love with this style of writing. Good Lord it is as if all of those quadratic functions (and limits testing) got letters in its curves ahahaha so erotic!!!

So this is Jeremy Tiang's first fiction: a series of interweaving short stories. Feels like reading Kaisa's Isabela. I like it!

Not exactly the style of prose I have in mind. Whew

Literal syang pang-grade 3 na mga akda. O baka ako lang ito na mulat sa Developing reading power noong elementary, at Harry Potter series noong High school.

May na! Pero kelangan ko ng additional material to write middle grade solaepunk fiction eh

Battle Royale na may Hunger Games at may maraming sinasabi at ako yung napagod. May point yung hanash ng kasama ko sa Pasig: sometimes, hindi mo kailangang mag-explain.

Gosh — March was a very tiring chapter. "Who's looking out for you? Discuss." segment brings lots of horror stories to the point that I stopped answering because there is not a lot of people looking out for me. And when I answered those, I felt the hurt. Most of the people I put there caused a hurt at one point in my life (siguro except Lyra, but she isn't there 100% of the time). Ayun andami kong hanash hays

What a fucken art show was that NAUUURRRRR wahahahaha

First read of 2026 and I am grateful for letting me get out of a "slump" I've experiencing after reading Kairos.

I like the art!!! First time I saw this craft of Ace Enriquez. Very palatable to one-shot komik readers like me!!!

What in the whipping fetish and the need to be vindicated for an illicit affair I cannot even—

Power through the Davao arc and the bullshit of Dutertenismo

Ang bigat ng chapter1! wew!!!

DNF malapit na. ARRRGGGHHH what are these men?!? These characters ain't make believe anymore, maraming lalakeng arseholes. Basta talaga may tite, walang bayag. Ang mga *trashtalking and other redacted profanities*

Hirap hanapin ang groove ng aklat na to wahaha

I am in chapter 3 AND MY GOHD I WATCHED THIS IN NETFLIX AND WHAT IN THE SHONEN I CREY!!! So much green flags, sigh

This is one expensive book and I don't know if this woman is just a glamorized writer of snippets of daily grocery runs and commute, or maybe she is banking on her mental health diagnosis in the late '80-'90s or was this a part of hipster literature or something...?

Andami ko nang iyak, guys. HAHAHAHA

With two chapters and less than 30 pages, andami ko nang naiyak.
Sobrang therapeutic, hays.

Medyo iba-iba nga ang liwanag sa bawat kwento. Although I don't know if somewhat misplaced ang kwento ni Ino Habana kasi hindi good ending yung nangyari sa bida eh. The others, ambilis ng diwa ng liwanag.

I was at the exact page when I saw the wisdom of the book cover. Grabe, in character na all black yung orasan.
