i often have lucid dreams. but last night i had “nested” lucid dreams and false awakenings. and i remember it.

dream level 1; i was in bed booking Grab car then fell asleep, “woke up” to see i missed the ride and it got cancelled. it even sent me a recording of my snoring “nknknk” omg 😂 crazy right?!

dream level 2: (still in my sleep) i go back sleeping and woke up with another app notification saying that i missed a food delivery this time. i then thought “oh so i didnt miss a ride, i missed the food delivery” still in the sane dream i realized i might be dreaming altogether but what if im not? was i going to the airpirt? did i miss a flight? but i was right i was just dreaming so i went back to sleep. in my dreams. zzz

a day in the life of a tired professor.

Excuse me for (over) sharing but I had my ears cleaned again at that spa across Sheraton. I couldn’t see their tools but i swear she went spellunking in there omg 😝 reached areas no cotton bud has ever explored. tortured a wee bit by some bzzt bzzt sound of the tool. it was completely satisfying.

Hotdog pasta sa bilao. because Filipino “spaghetti” deserves its own culinary ID instead of being treated as an Italian dish that went rogue 😁.
Native tray-style spaghetti with the sliced hot dogs laid out like kakanin is a classic fiesta presentation. It’s now become a festive Filipino dish that happens to use spaghetti noodles! Hotdog pasta ng Pinoy. Happy birthday

so happy to have two French exchange students enrolled in my Filipino architecure class 🇫🇷 🇵🇭. i hope they enjoy discovering our rich architectural heritage and culture! theyve chosen Ifugao traditional houses as their first assignment so im excited to hear their fresh perspective on one of our most iconic indigenous designs.

i stopped for the little pink and yellow, drawn in by their beauty. But I remember a gardener telling me way, way back that this flower is actually toxic! it’s meant to be admired froma distance.
A little reminder that beauty doesn’t always mean safe. 💚Nature is full of surprises!

Filipino idiom i heard yesterday from a colleague:

“Kaututang dila”
literally translates to “partner in sucking tongues with” 😝

it means a person you enjoy talking to/gossiping with

My big sis once told me, if you haven't used it, looked for it, or even remembered you owned it in the last 10 years, chances are you dont need it.
I did some decluttering this afternoon at the faculty room and it was easier to throw stuff away remembering those words.
some of the things i found ( i kept) were students works they left for me to keep: sketch journals, and similar kinds of other stuff that accumulated under my desk, in my cabinets, or drawers. i got sentimental, they were the hardest to let go of

No matter how much we grow older or how far life takes us, a part of the children we once were will always remain. and so will the LOVE that binds us as siblings. 💕
