my first zine!!!

Friday, May 22, 2026

years ago, i have always wanted to make a zine. i wasn't creative enough (still am) and i was pretty lazy (still am :]). few days ago, out of loneliness and boredom i made my first ever zine. i am very proud of it considering it is so random and the zine really makes any sense but that's the point of zines, vomiting all your creative thoughts on a paper. in my case, it is my resume lol, it's useless anyway because no one wants to hire me, crazy times. anyway, here it is!!!

cover page

don't mind the quality of the photos, i do not have a phone for months now and used an old tablet to take photos. i plan to make more in the future, it is quite fun and i can't recommend it enough to anyone to make zines in their free time.

 

simple hangout

Tuesday, May 12, 2026

i was so tired of rotting inside of my house, so i texted jacque to hang out and she was feeling the same way so she texted ryza to hangout too. she agreed to and brought her boyfriend (which is fine because i am friends with her boyfriend).

we went to kawit and enjoyed the breezy air on the beach (there was an entrance fee but luckily jacque knew the owner so we got a discount and only payed 50 pesos ). check out these photos

me and jacque doodling

after all that, we went to jacque's house and it was a spontaneous plan. ryza and her boyfriend, dave, bought pasta. they did all the cooking and all i did was eating lol. i wish i had a phone to take photos of our 'feast'. i feel so glad to get out of the house for once.

The Internet Is Making Everyone And Everything The Same

Monday, May 11, 2026

People from around the world were once super unique and deeply rooted in their culture, but now it feels like diversity is fading as the same trends and brands dominate everywhere. Soon, everyone is going to be working for the same big companies, using the same phones, wearing the same clothes, and eating the same food from the same fast-food chains. Even the way people talk, think, and live is starting to look alike because social media pushes similar lifestyles and opinions; culture is becoming homogenized globally as people are basically mimicking what others are doing. The internet has lessened geographical influence on people's personality.

I've noticed people from English-speaking countries are becoming more similar to each other--and nothing seems as special anymore because all of the cultures are starting to disappear and morph into the same. This seemed apparent to me when I realized like 75% or more of slang is created by the black community now, and the aesthetic is very similar; the photos are almost interchangeable with no personality or unique identity, yet these accounts have lots of followers because homogeneity sells and helps one find belonging.

No one really stands out anymore, and there is even a homogenous aspect of quirkiness where you can be whimsical as a woman as long as you fit certain beauty standards. I also notice something similar with film accounts where the same films and filmmakers are given attention, while people like me who talk about films off the beaten path that might be more obscure or outside the mainstream barely get noticed. It is very noticeable when interacting with people that there is less variation than in the past; most people are an archetype of the online content they consume and are way more predictable than in times past. After a brief conversation, you can pretty much have a person figured out if you're familiar with the jargon and perspectives of their online bubble, and it gets worse when it comes to political discussion and politics, as everybody online seems to subscribe to similar ideologies.

crossed (comic)

Thursday, May 7, 2026

god!! i think i have minor PTSD now, words wont do justice on how fucked up this comic is. but the writing honestly sucks (except for wish you were here). the series is so depraved in a way words cannot really get across to the point its basically a sadists wet dream, more akin to snuff films then a zombie scenario. im no stranger to violence and graphic content, but there's a line, and this series not only crosses it but guns it past in a bullet train.
