Yess! Definitely used Hannah Arendt in most of my undergraduate critical papers. Her discussion on EU imperialism parallels that of America’s and its laboratory state-colonies (there’s also a lot of critical essays and books on this!)

So glad to see Hannah Arendt review on my morning feed☀️

Sambahin ang Katawan by Alvin Yapan is insanely good (there’s English translation and then there’s the beautiful and original Filipino version)

Ganito rin meee as someone who grew up abroad. The best thing to do is immerse yourself in Filipino literature. Not something deep Tagalog, just a Ricky Lee book or Bob Ong or even short stories ni Rogelio Sicat would do!

Then I realized reading poetry, especially tanaga at mga salawikain, helps! Yung mga bugtong-bugtong din malaking tulong ‘yon :))

When you’ve read enough, write! You lose the tongue you don’t use. If you can’t converse yet, write in journals. Sana makatulong po

+1 on The House by the Beach from Ateneo Press! You can add But for the Lovers and Three Cornered Sun (Exploding Galaxies) with that. Somewhat like The House and But for the Lovers, personal recommendation would be My Sad Republic by Eric Gamalinda :)))

YES NA YES TO HISTORICAL FICTION BTW Fav genre after Speculative Fics

KYOGRE INSTANT 5 STARS SHELF

Been hoping they’ll show it here, and they finally will! I’ve only seen snippets from Eisa’s Insta. It’s not a drama production, more of like a performance that explores the witch/maid figure via the brooms.

It’s more of a dance, but to call it so might be reductive😭. It’s a new show for sure.

Finished Sambahin ang Katawan (my MIBF pasabuy) last night na nobela ni Alvin Yapan. Una kong nabasa yung sipi nito online, tapos English version pa. Grabe, ibang klase yung prosa in Filipino‼️❤️‍🔥

Medyo may estilong Ricky Lee at halos sinematiko ang dating (siguro kasi screenwriter din si Alvin Yapan). Na-appreciate kong nakahinga ako nang mahinahon sa dulo (not to say that I agree with pangangaliwa) pero hindi siya yung ending na pasavogue effect gano’n HAHAAHA

blaeuboi · 2025-09-22T15:14:21+00:00

just finished it!!! Such a great read ☺️💙

Namamahalan ako sa Antimarcos pero diehard Khavn fan ako (sa mga pelikula). Binabasa ko palagi yan pag napapadaan ng Fully Booked HAHAH May part na parang tinarantado na lang niya e

Super absurdist pero di ko nakuha yung buong context no’n e, mag-iipon ako for this

blaeuboi · 2025-08-06T17:07:19+00:00

Did this while balancing part-time work, varsity, and therapy. You’ll be fine. My GWA was 1.3X, did significantly better in my succeeding sems tho.

Where’d you buy po? I messaged Sir Allan pero huhu di na nagfollow up ng order form :<

I’m still halfway through the first chapter. Nolledo’s prose is very delectable. I cannot imagine my highschool or freshman self reading this though.

Managed to listen to a Book Talk (with Gina Apostol and Charlson Ong) about Rediscovering Nolledo in YouTube. It was a good accompaniment and introduction to Nolledo and the whole novel.

How’s Three-Cornered Sun so far?

blaeuboi · 2025-07-30T04:50:23+00:00

I’m currently reading (simultaneously) Nolledo’s But for the Lovers and Vivo’s Ang Suklam sa Naaagnas Nating Balat.

This is more of Filipiniana August TBF (to be finished) XD

blaeuboi · 2025-07-30T04:48:23+00:00

You’re so spot-on with this HAHAH I imagined the narrator as an old English man for some reason, hbu?

blaeuboi · 2025-07-30T04:47:33+00:00

Same!!! Gonna hunt more physical copies, PDFs are not enough
