Am I ready to emerge? No! But fuck it!
January 15, 2026: It’s the first time I’m eating at the new Metiz and I’m kidding Arlo to give me life advice. He tells me, “you’re already successful, I should be asking you for advice.” All this hesitation for fame and money and critical acclaim, and it all comes down to what? Success is keeping my integrity intact. My artistic and socio-political integrity? Is intact.
An honor to be photographed by kuys @gericcruz even though he finds me so annoying!
Hello, ako si Ŷnang.
Took 5 years to sink into this name, my grandmother Inang’s name. Magsasaka siya noon.
Hello to friends who called me this since the day they met me @kilabotngkabite@renz.lacap ! Renz especially encouraged me to just take the name on and told @karinaaperea to start calling me the same. You guys are so dear to me.
Thank you to Pao @baiug_@tongsteroni@anakbanwa@metizresto@stephanduhesme@tara.pilipinas for being a big part of my being and becoming.
