We’re back! We catch up with how the last few months have gone: Regis got a dog, and Nathania got a PhD! And with these life updates, we look at the societal pressures when it comes to growing up and stepping into adulthood. When you see all your friends getting married, having kids, and moving on with life with all these milestones, you can’t help but feel left behind. How do we build the lives we really want to live, and how do we find the courage to go for it?

Dating and relationships are hard enough, but dating people from different cultural backgrounds is another level. Starting with the unique features of Filipino culture when it comes to romance, we explore the tricky power dynamics in dating white guys. We share our juicy stories and lessons learned on relationship expectations and being yourself. Swiping around the apps can be fun, but what happens when a match just leaves you burnt out?

Should your calling in life also be your career? We reflect about purpose, passion, and bullsh*t jobs when it comes to work, and what it means to love what you do under capitalist conditions. For Nathania, pursuing academia meant giving up her corporate girlboss dreams, while Regis continues to navigate the world of international business development as the intersection of many of his lifelong interests.

Life abroad isn't always glamorous, as we've learned from the past few years living in Europe. We look back at how much we've grown in the process of leaving family and friends behind in Manila, being flatmates in Barcelona, and starting all over again now in Vienna and Budapest. With newfound friends and Filipino communities abroad, it turns out home isn't so far away after all.

With therapists now on TikTok and many more mental health resources becoming accessible, it seems like getting help has never been easier. Still, so much stigma persists around anxiety and depression, that many are left to suffer in silence. We recount the critical moments in our lives that shaped our understanding of mental health: Nathania having a full-blown panic attack in public and the loss of a dear friend to suicide, and Regis experiencing debilitating anxiety and getting a diagnosis. We hope to shed light on what it means to (not) be okay and being there for someone.

Well, we do, and we talk about feeling all the highs and lows of social media — from dealing with haters and fans to going viral and unlearning toxic online behavior. In an age of influencers and content creators, is there more to being just another online personality?
