Hello, old friend. The main topic of this week is the Slam Dunk festival. If you are not aware, the Slam Dunk festival is an event that happens around the third weekend of May in the UK. It happens in two different locations, Hatfield and Leeds on Saturday and Sunday respectively. I wouldn’t say it is a Pop Punk festival because there is a wide variety of genres in the bands that play the festival, but it’s an alternative music event. ...
I found this picture of when Sofi and I went thrift shopping. I really love us in this picture, it feels very us. Brighton Spring, Fringe and the Great Escape ...
This past week has been really good! I feel that I’ve been kinder to myself in what I am currently dealing with. Dealing with our mental health can be a very weird, complex and difficult journey at times. But, I’ll try to talk about some of the highlights of this week! Website changes I’ve beeen doing a lot of work in my little space within the internet. A lot of these changes are inspired by benji’s website because I absolutely love their website. It feels like a space in the internet that is really taken care of. A place in the internet that feels its entirely theirs. ...
Here’s a behind the scenes of Sofi taking Naga and Saki’s cover picture. Hello, old friend. I’ve been wanting to write to you a lot this week. It’s been a bit hard for me to exist lately. We had a lot of stuff happening at work, and with that came it’s own deal of social anxiety. I think one of the things that have really gotten to me since we got to the UK is that my social anxiety has really ramped up because of interacting with people in a different language. I find the Sofia Vergara meme from Modern Family where she says, “Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?” much more relatable now. ...
I loved this poster that we found chilling outside of The Arch, the venue where Maybeshewill played. Lots of eventful things happened this week! I think I can start by talking about something I had been waiting for the last few weeks… MY PC FINALLY GOT HERE! PC and Hard Drive Shenanigans PCSpecialist finally delivered my PC!! I had been waiting for it for the last few weeks, and it’s even better than I imagined! I was initially very nervous because I ended up spending much than I had initially thought, so I really wanted it to have no issues with it. I am happy to say that so far everything has been smooth sailing. My last PC, the one I sold in Colombia, I had it for around 11 years upgrading it a couple of times throughout the years. ...
Eastern Week! I often forget that this country has a lot of Catholic related festivities. Eastern is one of those! Wehn I was younger, as soon I went to live on my own, I stopped paying attention to such events. In Mexico, I remember having a tradition of painting hollow eggs, filling them with glitter and confetti, and crushing them on our friends’ heads. I remember it been quite fun. ...
Psithurism is the sound the wind makes when it passes through the tress. I stopped to listen to the rumble of trees. I think it’s been years since the last time I found myself caught by the sound of the wind. This week we met a new place. It’s called Stanmer Park. It’s a Nature Reserve that is north of Brighton. In the middle of the park there is a very small village with several restaurants and cafés that have delicious food. ...
It’s been a while. Since the last time we spoke, a lot of things have been going on. If you are not aware, I now live in the UK! Brighton has been such a kind city to us. We were really nervous at first because it would be our first time living in a English speaking country, but I think we have made it good so far. The city is full of diversity in terms of people, art, culture, food. ...

Here’s the soundtrack of this blog post: Such a great cover, if I might say so. Well, well, well. We see each other again in the internet-sphere. It’s been a few months since the alst time I’ve been actively online in any form of social media. Active in the sense of posting, commenting, liking content. To be fair, I have been lurking all this time, but uncappable of actually taking the first step towards interacting with people. And, this does not only apply to social media like Twitter (fuck X), Instagram, or TikTok, I’ve also been pretty absent in IM apps. Basically, I’ve felt like I ghosted most of the people who I don’t see on a daily basis. Why, you might ask. I am not entirely sure. ...
