about the blog

This page is where all my interests and creations are. If you are interested in my thoughts and what I have to say, Leaflet is where all my blog posts will be. Everything else are here including my temporary fixations and hobbies to remind myself that it is okay to like things. Being curious is part of living.

why neocities?

Seeing the dumpster fire social media sites has become, I wanted to have a space for myself like everyone else that is currently here on Neocities. So I decided to go brush my HTML and CSS knowledge and take maintaining this website seriously by hand without AI help. This is a hobby I am hoping that will stick.

introduction

I am a very curious person. So I have a lot of interests that sometimes stick, and sometimes don't. However, it is very common for me to come back to it after a while. I recently stopped interacting (too much) with fandoms through socials and just do it with fan works instead including BlueSky (for fanart) and Tumblr & AO3 (for fanfiction). The only place I get my updates from is Discord but even there, I do not really talk to anybody. I prefer to keep my circle small. Also, I take great liberty in blocking individuals who only bring crap in my space.

Being a writer also made me fixate on digital note-taking tools. It took me years to realize that the perfect notes app does not exist. The only way for it to be perfect is when it satisfies all my writing needs. Through that rabbit hole, I discovered Bear and Obsidian. These two apps are the main driver to my digital system. Everything that is impractical to write by hand is on these two. I also use Ellipsus—an alternative to Google Docs—for final long-form and document writing. At this point, I am fairly content with these three and not looking for any alternative.

As for my niche interests, I have always been into stationery as a kid. I also prefer physical books than ebooks. However, once my shelf filled up, I had to settle with ebooks. I currently own a Kobo Clara Colour which I love so much. Then there are my journals, I only went back to writing-by-hand again last 2024 after pulling out from Notion. And that led me to discover fountain pens and different types of paper. Outside of journaling, I also am into selectively collecting Skullpanda plush and figures as well as LEGO sets because I only have limited space for them.
