I know its a little sudden, but I'm going to become a Asian medicine illustrator from today, sorry for all my fans who follow me for my food art all these years.
if anyone outside the philippines is curious about where to start, i made a list + this index of lino brocka and ishmael bernal films :)

Hindi ako masyadong nalungkot sa fact na gasoline boy sya, kase marangal na trabaho yun. Mas nakakalungkot yung fact na cum laude sya with a degree in BS Fisheries. Just goes to show na kulang ang opportunities in this country para sa aquaculture and agriculture industries.
If my money goes into THIS - I’m not mad at all. You know, shit employees are in every company and my biggest 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 goes to editors, developers and artists. Without them, LaDs won’t be so unique 🩷

Let me explain so that understand better
For many years, there lived a germ called HPV that could hide inside a girl's special parts and sometimes make big trouble later, like bumps or even cancer.
A kind female scientist named Eva said "Let's fight it with a unique light"
So she put a special jelly (like invisible paint) on the bad spots.
The jelly only stuck to the germ cells, not the good oness
Then she shined a gentle red laser light on the jelly, which made the jelly wake up, made some tiny angry bubbles inside the bad cells, and popped them all gone.
The germ disappeared, and the good cells stayed happy and safeeee
.
There was no cutting, no piercing and no hurtingg
With further tests and approvals, this can be fully rolled out as a permanent cure!
Thanks to the Mexican researchers 🇲🇽

I’ve been seeing SO MANY westerners come into PH spaces and DEMAND that they pay the same as local prices, it’s insane 😭
Do they not understand regional pricing and cost of living??
Did you know that, prior to the Spanish Colonization, the early Bisayans believed that if it weren’t for the shark, we would have had eternal life? 🦈
Let me tell you about the Bisayan Myth on how Death came to be: a 🧵

The actual research is wild. Every time you push down a feeling, your brain has to choose between suppressing that emotion and recording what’s happening around you. It picks the suppression. The memory doesn’t get saved.
A 2000 Stanford study confirmed this: people told to hide their emotions while watching a film remembered far fewer details than people who just reacted naturally. Suppressing emotions uses up mental energy, and that leaves less brain power for saving new memories.
Brain scans show why. A 2012 study found that suppression quiets the hippocampus (your brain’s memory-recording center) right when it should be saving information. The two brain regions that normally team up to lock in memories stop talking to each other.
Over time it gets worse. Suppression keeps cortisol (the stress hormone) elevated, and cortisol shrinks the hippocampus. Chronically stressed people can lose 10 to 15% of its volume. Just three weeks of high cortisol can shrink the tiny connection points between brain cells by about 20%. The good news: studies show this shrinkage can partially reverse once stress levels drop. Not necessarily permanent.
A Finnish study of 1,137 older adults tracked over roughly a decade found that habitual emotion suppressors had nearly 5x the risk of developing dementia, even after controlling for genetics, smoking, obesity, and education.
There’s a better way to handle emotions that doesn’t cost you your memory. It’s called cognitive reappraisal: instead of bottling the feeling, you reframe what’s causing it. (“This meeting isn’t a threat, it’s practice.”) A 2003 Stanford/UC Berkeley study found reappraisers had more positive emotion, better relationships, and higher wellbeing. Suppressors got the opposite on every measure. And reappraisal carries zero memory cost.
The difference comes down to timing. Suppression kicks in after the emotion has already fired, so your brain is fighting its own response while simultaneously trying to record the moment. Reappraisal changes how you interpret the situation before the emotion fully activates. Same event, same person, but your hippocampus stays free to do its actual job: recording your life.
