Uman (monthly) — January 2022 to Present (23 issues) #

Subscribe to my monthly newsletter called Uman.

“Uman” is the Pangasinan word for change. I started it to keep track of the monthly “changes” I undergo in my projects, studies, and goals but it became this exercise in essay writing that weaves spirituality, walking, writing, and photography.

Roots ྾ Gravel — December 4 to 10, 2023 (8 issues) #

A pop-up newsletter for my first week-long walk around Los Baños. The original intention of the walk was to explore a free, creative, and subsistent spirituality through walking around my current town of residence. The essays and photographs diverted from this original intention as the walk progressed.
