a friday feeling 😌 thanks @mysiargaoguide for bringing us to the lagoon 🌴 shot by @maj_dizon
This week’s #booklook is an homage to @urrealism’s book "The House of Broken Angels" about a Mexican-American family & immigration & birthdays & death & familial ruminations that I read while I was on the other side of the Pacific 🌊 A mood, a vibe. "And everyone loved sunsets. The light lost its sanity as it fell over the hills and into the Pacific--it went red and deeper red, orange, and even green. The skies seemed to melt, like lava eating black rock into great bite marks of burning. Sometimes all the town stopped and stared west. Shopkeepers came from their rooms to stand in the street. Families brought out their invalids on pallets and in wheelbarrows to wave their bent wrists at the madness consuming their sky. Swirls of gulls and pelicans like God's own confetti snowed across those sky riots." 💖 Thank you @littlebrown for my copy ✨
Hella in my feelings this morning after the final episode of @gameofthrones, wishing I could swim / surf the confusing af story arcs 🤔😭photo taken last week in #Siargao 🌴
One of the last few photos from my trip to SG 🙈 Strolling by these cute #Peranakan houses over at #JooChiat, captured by @maj_dizon 💖
Prolly my fave spot + coffee in SG 🙏🏾
Love at first sight. With #AudreLorde’s quote emblazoned on the storefront, stepping into @booksactually was a dream. From the queer lit to books by local authors, make sure you stop by & #getlit 😍
