Music heals.🎶 I’m back on air at @chirpradio tonight for another 3-hour audio party with Chicago + the universe!💫 I am super excited because I’m in a better shape than last week when I was still recovering from fever and cold. Im not yet 💯 but I can confidently say I’m at 95%, how about that?😉 Your local DJs aren’t that invincible ya know🤗💛 (AND YES IT MEANS STILL NO BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM FOR THIS GIRL YET.😭). Good thing I got new music from @deerhuntermusic, @dolphinmidwives, @thelemonheadsofficial, @brokenbells, @mpoegrvoves, @the_flesheaters, @phosphorescentmusic, and so much more!!!🙌🏼📻 Tune in 9pm CST at 107.1fm Chicago or chirpradio.org worldwide and send over your song requests at dj@chirpradio.org.🙃 #hearwhatsnext #chicagodj #chicagoradio

I dreamt about my cousin last night.😌💫 My other cousins and my aunt were there. They sold their home to become a commercial establishment but a few of his photos were preserved in designated spots around the place – a memorabilia of what it was once like with him around.💜 This made me miss home. I’ve said this before but I tend to find a “home” in different places. I don’t necessarily have to go back to the same spot to feel it. But the memories of family and friends made me miss my actual home.💛 The one I grew up in. What things affect your senses and make you feel at home? Or miss home?🙃 Here’s a few of mine: • • • Touch: Sitting on anything made of woven rattan. • • Noise: Never happened but I would sometimes imagine hearing roosters cock-a-doodle-do at the break of dawn. • • Sight: Going to local gigs in small, dim places. • • Smell: The familiar scent of my conditioner that I rarely buy in Asian stores. • • Taste: Oh, how can I even begin and end? The DIY tocino (sweet pork) that I always try to recreate without a proper recipe. The adobo that’s always too sweet. The nata de coco in fruit salads that don’t even compare to what my mom makes. The Filipino fried rice, called sinangag, that I always overwhelm with garlic. • • • YOUR TURN.😉💛 • • #homeisafeeling #paperart #papercutting

GRATITUDE POST🌱 || 2018 has been one of the kindest and most beautiful years of my life. I want to say it’s the best but @romcuevo will argue about our wedding year.🤷🏻‍♀️😂 There were some emotional and terrible stuff (my cousin’s passing), but all the amazing events outweighed the bad. I’m still broken about it, but if anything, it made me embrace my life and my potential even more.💕 I’ve been interviewed as an artist (my dream occupation!) in several websites here in the US, the UK, and my beloved Philippines. My art has been featured in numerous websites, newsletters, and gift guides. I’ve participated in three local art shows, got my first rejection letter as a resident artist, commissioned for a piece for the cover and spread of the Chicago Reader, and most recently, was invited to be part of a tv show as an artist/crafter. More than those, I am going towards my 3rd year as a DJ for CHIRP Radio (on that note, I’m back on air tonight for my first show at @chirpradio! Tune in 9pm CST.🤗). You will def agree that 2018 has been crazy amazing for me!😭💕 Dare I say it, 2018 would have been the best but I just feel that 2019 will outdo it!🙃🌱 Positive thinking!😉❤️ Thank YOU for being a part of this personal journey. Happy 2019 and keep growing!🌿 #hello2019 #gratitudejournal

A few snapshots from NYE as I greeted 2019 in the same city that I fell in love with a few years ago.🌿 I actually spent New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day “trying” to work on some pending art commissions. Trying — because I was (still am) sick and just snuck out for a few hours on the 31st for #brewyearseve at @architecturalartifacts.🙃🎶 It was an awesome night and we even had a champagne toast with strangers that we met on our cta ride home. Fun times.😊💛 2018 is DEFINITELY one of my favorites; I will forever cherish that year. And the way it went for me gives me so much optimism for 2019. Cheers universe!🥂🤗 #hello2019
