I finally incorporated my domain in this website, so the URL is more streamlined and I have a few more options. It took several days for this change to “propagate,” as they say. But here it is. Now, after more than a decade of being an on-and-off WordPress user, I’m finally learning how to use the dang WordPress Reader, which feels like social media from the early 2000s. I notice that WordPress has enabled paid subscriptions. Not sure what to think of that. But I feel like if I’m finally going to commit to being here, I might as well learn this platform like I should’ve long ago.
I also have a new post up on Eulipion Outpost (Substack), entitled “Pasalubong, Pesos, and Pining for Home.”

In the meantime, it feels like civilization is undergoing a reset. I’m anxious about it, just like everyone else. Yet, I just keep chugging on . . .
