dear friends,
today marks the first day of the "ber months."
one of the things i love about being pinoy is that we're overenthusiastic about everything. my lola is set to have christmas decorations up by september 10.
too early? not in manila it isn't.
as september rolls in, time starts moving faster and we become busier. we're already raising to the finish line - to the end of the year.
what if we don't do that and instead move slower? time isn't a scarce resource. in the grand scheme of eternity, we have all the time in the world.
if it doesn't feel that way, try setting up time to pause even just for 3 minutes. stillness is the space of no time. stillness is nature's most unadulterated state.
cultivate that stillness within and you become the eye of the storm; no matter how chaotic and busy times get in these last months of 2024.

🪴 this week: i publish my first video entry on unconditional love. i talk about my experience with psychic readings on the podcast. i answer 10 questions on creativity in my diary.
this week on angel sandy ☁️
🪞 unconditional love
my first video post in the portal. i discuss about love, which by definition is unconditional. i dispel the myths of what we think love is and get to the heart of the topic. there's no holding back on the truth in this one.
🎙️ on psychic readings
this week on the pod, i look back at my initial annoyance with astrology and distrust with psychics. i tell my tale on how i went from side-eyeing that world to having it knock my socks off.
i also share my take on readings: are they legit? should you trust them? is it safe to dabble? we will discuss.
you can listen on apple or spotify.
🧠 10 questions on divergent thinking
in my diary, i answer ten questions on the creative process or divergent thinking. i'm not sure if it's obvious yet but i have neurodivergent tendencies. this post is inspired by one of my favorite substacks, spacies.
🍄 my current obsessions
• the triple flame app: i'm not big on meditation apps but this one is an exception. i love the idea of pausing for 3 minutes on every 3rd hour in the clock. small pauses throughout the day makes for a more contemplative life.
• beeswax candles: scented candles are great but most of them are toxin induced. beeswax candles are royalty in the candle world. it's 100% pure, local, hypoallergenic, and purifies the air. the natural honey aroma is unmatched.
• the elements of style: a classic grammar book. the latest edition is best in paperback because of the lovely illustrations. i revisit this book periodically. it's my way of repenting my grammar sins.
• rooibos crème caramel tea: this isn't some wellness tea with health benefits. it's a dessert tea, ever so sweet and creamy. i recommend this tea for anyone cutting down on sugar. the next time your tita buys carrot cake from wildflour for your sunday lunch, boil some hot water and drink this one instead.
🎁 coming soon: the gift
angel sandy's first physical product. tending to the nooks and crannies before i launch. stay tuned.
🌧️ good bye, for now.
until next week, dear friends.
may your days be filled with peace and love.
xx
