introduction

I have a lot of interests that I occasionally drop then go back to constantly. But, there are times that I stop playing games/interacting with a fandom because of toxic discourse on social media. So the only place I go to for fandom dopamine is BlueSky for short posting and Tumblr (and AO3) for fan fiction. I only get updates from official Discord servers for games but I never interact with the general chat itself. I also take great liberty in blocking people who ruins my vibe especially when there are new updates or drops.

I also have an interest with digital note-taking tools. I spent too much precious time looking for the perfect notes app which, admittedly is a waste. But, I found Bear and Obsidian from it and stayed for good. So still a win. Everything that is impractical to write by hand is on these two apps. I also use Ellipsus—an alternative to Google Docs—for long-form and document writing.

As for my analog interests, I have always been into stationery even as a kid. I also prefer physical books than ebooks. Once my shelf filled to the brim I had to settle with ebooks, but my reading hobby dwindled with it. As for my journals I only went back to writing-by-hand again last 2024 when I pulled out from Notion. And that led me to discovering fountain pens and different kinds 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.
