Guess what? I'm still sick but with another illness! But I'm so tired of waiting to get better before doing something I enjoy. And so, I'm coming back and posting blogs again. Just yapping about my life and books! I've been trying to get my spark ba...

I’ve been busy the past couple of weeks and I also got sick so the first to go is this blog. #SorryNotSorry But I’m now deciding that I will also be sharing more of my life here (and on mundanemarcy.substack.com). I’ve just finished watching Caratla...

Side note: It’s my birthday month and I’m very tempted to splurge on gifts for myself. I need a distraction, so I’m writing this instead. Starting over isn’t that bad, if you ask me. It just means something didn’t work, so you’re getting a blank pag...

Hello! I’m back! I didn’t post last week because I was sick. I caught the flu and I can’t get out of bed. I slept most of the day. That said, I learned a lot during my time being sick and bedridden. I learned that… 1. Rest needs to be taken even tho...

As a picky eater, I was tired of having to think of what the next meal would be. Plus, my groceries almost always go bad on me because I tend to lose the energy to cook mid-month. So when I encountered an ad for a meal delivery service, I was curiou...

Sometimes people quit not because they’re weak. They quit because the environment has changed. So I’ve been attending this Zumba class and i loved it! Affordable and near my house. it’s a 5-10 minute commute. It was perfect. And more importantly, it...

I recently decided to show my face on videos. I was reluctant because I was feeling cringy and I didn’t want to be perceived. I asked myself why? And I think the answer is that I feel ugly and fat. Then my mind went to… Okay, so what if I’m ugly? Do...

So I got called out for being condescending. That I belittle people without realizing it. And my first reaction was to push back. But then I stopped. Because the more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t actually argue with it. Like, hold on, may...

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” — Annie Dillard, The Writing Life When I first read this line in 2017, I was stunned. Like this blown my mind for real. Like how could I not have thought of this? When it’s so simple? At ...

I don’t tell people my goals until they’re done. Not because I’m superstitious. But because I’ve learned that announcing things too early is its own kind of procrastination… The talking becomes a substitute for the doing, and somewhere along the way...

I was talking to friend about her aversion to curry and her hate of cinnamon rolls. I can’t imagine hating these? 😭 Anyways, she says she doesn’t like curry (regardless if it’s sweet or spicy) because of a trauma thing and I realized it’s the same ...

I’ve recently started what they call junk journaling. But being me, I can’t just tape paper and stickers onto a page and call it a day. I have to make it feel at least a little productive. So here’s what I do instead. I journal about a specific even...

Context: My mother forced me to live with my abuser. I feel like I need to forgive my mother for everything she has done, not because I want us to be together again, but because I am tired. And because she probably doesn’t even know she was wrong. S...

One of the greatest things in life is friends who love you so much they want all the best for you. They push you, support your dreams and plan life with you. Let me tell you a story about a friend, who didn’t understand the life I was building. My f...
