I got the official provost letter in mid June letting me know that I had been promoted effective the Fall 2025 semester. Since we’re a few weeks away from the start of the academic year, I guess it’s time to make it social media official! 😝

😂🤭

Yeah I was surprised not to get a campus notification… but then again, you know those need to get approvals… 😉

Well, that was fun! Thanks Cultural Studies @georgemasonu.bsky.social for having me back to speak at colloquium. Special thanks to @tim-gibson.bsky.social for inviting me!

It’s that time of year for @icahdq.bsky.social hotel reservations hunger games! Waitlisted for 2 nights! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Exactly! Was helping her decipher a job ad for an R2 and how position herself.

Pretty much all my academic life has been in the US but helping an international ECR navigate our job market is 🫠

Just sent another begging email… sigh sigh

Your college now has candidates and so does CEHHS. Mine left. And I fall under BSS.

Yup. I emailed full profs begging… crickets

Still not finding too many #ICA peeps here…

So this happened. Congrats to my fellow awardees, especially @aspield.bsky.social!

November, you have been a beast. I’m glad you are over. December will certainly have its challenges, but hopeful for good news. 🤞🏼

Friends, please continue to pray for my intentions, especially for the health of a beloved relative. 🙏🏼

The thieves want me to remove from my account. For now am keeping it on (they won’t have access to my stuff bec it’s on lost mode, set to erase once it has service & passwords have been changed) bec I don’t want to give in & so they are stuck with an expensive paperweight! 😈

Stolen iPhone update: it’s now in Shenzhen and I’ve gotten text messages: pretending to be Apple, begging bec phone was bought for child, and today threatening to kill me. Reporting to local police and spoke with @Apple customer service who was really helpful & reassuring.

In Filipino/Tagalog it's "Ninang" for godmother, "Tita" for auntie.

November has been a really tough month so far. Kindly include my intentions in your prayers. 🙏🏼

My gosh, ang hassle ng process to report lost SIM. 😡 Haaaay. Also, eSIM for prepaid not yet launched. 😭

Scheduled power outage in my apartment complex from 9am-3pm. Managed to make coffee ☕️ and fix my hair 👩🏻 before it got cut off. #priorities

It has been the most stressful and physically and emotionally exhausting 14 days. I’m slowly emerging from it and feeling like myself again. 💗

Crossing fingers it’s operational na!
