Welcome to my /now page, where I snapshot life. Each month will be archived.
Inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now page.

Work

The Dolce Princess Collection is out!!
Already planning 2027 collection…
New projects getting planned…
As summer is ending, it’s time to meet up with THE visionary people again; locally and all over the UK!

Learning

Retro-tech; their history, their schematics, why they were created, how they were marketed, why the sudden resurgence etc. I’m also interested behind their engineering and physics. I appreciate the old stuff, for the new.
How to be more independent in the current age of ‘tech’
Repairable tech and future-forward consumer/business choices.
New crochet techniques!! Always something new to learn.
From people who are far more experienced than me.

Culture

Visited The Tomb Raider Exhibition at Derby!
Trying out food from different cultures.
Trying out coffee from different cultures; current favourite is Vietnamese Robusta.
Loving Brazilian funk!

Reading

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by GRRM.
Ask Iwata, edited by Hobonichi.
Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon.
Blogs and websites around the net <3

Writing

My journal – thoughts and what is inspiring me.
Corresponding with people globally!

Crocheting

Summer shawl; made with silk by Knitting for Olive. Airy scarves are my current favourite fashion accessory for the heatwave, especially if you need physical protection from intense sunlight. My Filipina ancestors knew how to dress for the sun!
Jumper for my lil bro; made with merino wool found at the charity shop.

Playing (in bursts, because of adulthood)

Dragon Quest IX
Pokémon White 2
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Tinker Bell
My Sims Kingdom

Re-connecting

Catching up with my beloved friends! Sometimes life keeps us busy.
My gaming roots; enjoying my childhood DSi/New 2DS XL, and handheld consoles.
Collecting games I used to love.
Might watch anime again.
Need to draw again.
