"And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for."Meet ndeuintly, though most people call her SJ. A twenty-something from the Philippines who speaks English and Tagalog (with the occasional Hiligaynon), she's constantly collecting thoughts she can't seem to keep to herself.This account is an archive of those thoughts: fleeting observations, unsolicited opinions, media rambles, and the occasional existential spiral. Some entries are lighthearted, others lean into politics and social issues.— Conversations are always welcome, whether we're mutuals or complete strangers. Note that the posts in this account is a collection of thoughts from someone who's still figuring things out. If you decide to stay, I hope you find something worth taking with you.Thanks for dropping by!

"She was laughing at me 'cause her au-pair said my new nanny was a slutbag whore!"If people are the sum of their likes, curiosities, and convictions, then perhaps this is one way of getting to know SJ.Loves: drinking a liter of iced coffee, watching sunsets, train rides, falling asleep to the sound of rain, taking photos of cats and dogs in public spaces, people-watching and wondering what their dreams were before they became who they are today, conversations with anyone and everyone, anything related to art and social sciences, the sound of crickets on warm summer afternoon/nights, listening to the radio, libraries, and TOMATOES!! 🍅Loathes: people who are out of touch, apathy toward social issues, blind political loyalty, politicians who mistake power for public service, people who lack empathy and critical thinking, and people who choose to be unkind.Favorites:

"Am I weird?" — "Yeah. But so what; everybody is weird."SJ has a quiet habit of collecting stories—whether they're found in books, films, or albums. She gravitates toward works that linger long after the final page, the closing credits, or the last track. Some are timeless classics, others are deeply personal favorites, but each has shaped the way she sees the world.Artists & Albums
