ABOUT

WELCOME! (A 2026 update alert)

A late-twenties girl from the Philippines trying to figure life out one mildly dramatic thought at a time. Equal parts optimistic and pessimistic depending on the day (and the caffeine intake). Still pretty clueless about the future, but trusting that life will somehow work itself out eventually. Probably booking another trip, hanging out with friends, or healing her inner teenage self by obsessing over boy bands.

THE BLOG HISTORY...

This blog has existed since 2013, which honestly feels both impressive and slightly concerning. I started it back in high school when I had way too many thoughts, too much free time, and absolutely no healthy outlet besides posting on the internet. Since then, this blog has gone through more identity crises than I have — from Shit Happens, The Shauna Files, The Shauna Cafe Notebooks, Paradox, Lana Del Leigh, Ma-vour-neen, Peachy Keen, Shauna Living Life… and probably several more I’ve already erased from memory for my own protection.

At this point, constantly changing layouts, blog names, and entire aesthetics has basically become part of the brand. I’d like to say it’s creative evolution, but realistically I’m just never fully satisfied with anything I make. Very millennial of me, honestly.

DISCLAIMER

Some posts in here are personal, slightly dramatic, and painfully written by younger versions of me, so please browse responsibly. These days, the blog mainly revolves around travels, lifestyle, random life thoughts, and whatever hyperfixation I currently have.

If I disappear for a while, I’m probably busy trying to get my life together, recovering from burnout, or staring at a blank draft convincing myself I have nothing interesting to say. The long-term plan for this space? Honestly, just to keep creating, keep documenting life, and leave little pieces of myself here for future me to look back on someday.
