"Staying too long in your comfort zone is a waste of time!" . This and so much more on this week's episode of #ShananigansLive x @toxrowlang! . Check out my IG TV and you'll see this episode and other amazing guests, friends and humans on there 🤩✨

Missing you dearly and I can't wait to explore you again. . . Please keep safe everyone - wherever you're at. Give your loved ones a call, friends you haven't spoken to in a while, old pals that you've been meaning to check up on. Just. Pick. Up. The. Phone. 💖 . Life is so precious. It's here and then it isn't. We're still here x and you're still reading this. 💖 . . And if you still have old hurts - allow it to melt away into the past. There's only so much we can hold on to... And we can only open up to the new, if we Let. Go. . Imagine hands grabbing onto broken glass and rubble - how can you hold something brand new and beautiful? 🍷 . . Whether it's a creative adventure, finally jumping in on that business idea, making new friends again, or trying something you've been wanting to do - I hope that you get to do all of them and more x . . #notestoself #lol #londonstories

𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 x . WhatsApp me or email (link is on my bio!) for now 💖✨ . . Here's an unrelated video 😆 of us doing a bit of cabaret with @sandrafaustinalee in Singapore 🌟

I miss doing freestyles on the rink. One day I want to skate / compete to my own music 😍 . . Here's a song I've renamed "Try Again" and I think it's about ready to fly free! . . Thank you for the beautiful remix #RadioOnTheShelf x

Choreography by @luciecamelo 🤩 Thank you so much for today! . Watch til the end 😂😆 I saw my senior neighbour peeking and she looked like this: 😦😧👵 . Maybe she just wanted to join in?? . Apologies to the chair who didn't ask for any of this!! 🤣 . . @partynextdoor come see me ft. @champagnepapi

"Why didn't you invite friends to watch you compete in ice skating before?" Me: 😂😣 This was the interpretive programme competition where we only hear the music clip played 3x during the warm-up and we go into a black room where we don't get to hear/see what anyone else is doing. This was honestly one of my favourite part of the competition whilst ice skating before. It was just on the spot, no practising- you just skate to whatever comes out of you in the moment. Because of this - I'll be doing a weekly improv on Mondays when @spotify releases #DiscoveryWeekly, pick a song from the playlist and listen to it live - repeat it two more times and then sing a song over it! Lyrics and melody and all. No edits 🌺 Instead of obsessing about my weaknesses (my relentless avoidance in refracting and reediting my songs haha) - I'll focus my energies on joy - which is to just make sh*t up. 😆

Almost stayed in Singapore to be a teacher! For kids!! . A quick snippet of me teaching kids Creative Writing in Singapore! In costume!! 🥰 This is one of the things I did before coming to London 💖 Almost just stayed behind in Singapore to work as an assistant teacher in one of their highly ranked schools. Right after 13 years of working in nightclubs. . How? . I went in to one of the schools to ask to speak to the principal. I dressed up, wore my best outfit and just gunned it. They probably assumed my kid went there 😆 . The principal was kind and was frankly surprised by me 😂 I told her the truth - that my work surrounding myself with old, drunk, powerful men who acted like children - enabled me to have an INSANE patience with kids. And that there's something so precious and pure and real about teaching kids that the clubs painfully lacked. 😂 People could say that isn't the best interview answer. . . After a second interview, I was offered a job. Literally. I've just proven to myself that NO - you don't have to keep doing the same thing, and that people around you understand - your journey, what you want to do moving forward. Trust that what you're looking for is looking for you, too. . . I didn't end up taking the job. I ended up being the Head of Marketing and Entertainment instead in another company and within a few months, left and moved to London and til today - I'm here. . . . I went all out with my classroom and turned it into a different world in there. This was when I realised my patience for kids were paramount and that I loved teaching them (while learning from them, too!) . . You literally don't have to just be one bloody thing! If that's not what fires you up.

𝘿𝙖𝙮 2: 𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 Yesterday I gave myself a challenge to post one song everyday for a week. 😅✨ . Cover, original, or a snippet of at least 1 minute. No matter what state of "doneness" it is in -- I'll just let it (that version) fly free. . I just want to share what I have with how far I could take it, day by day. I'm also inspired by @birdstrips' practice where she uploads one birb art a day, NO MATTER WHAT. . So here's an edit by @rubenderonde called "𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘪𝘥𝘦" which is one of my faves from him. 💗😅 . . Thanks @sarahdewarren for recording my vocals on this one ages ago 💗🌹

technical brouhaha #86342, london A clip of what it was supposed to look like earlier 😩😆 Thank you @zhostelph x @spcaoboy @paulpajo for not giving up on me and the super fun(ny) e-numan after which is one of this week's highlights. I'll be back with a vengeance! (And a much better connection to the interwebzzzz muwahaha) . . . I will not be dissuaded so easily!! I *will* find a way to get through this. To be fair, I had zero idea how to even work out OBS before this (thanks for the encouragement @femdiymusician!), now the challenge is to find a way to remove the laggy bit!! We got thisssss xx

P h i l i p p i n e s

MAY 9 (this Saturday!): 8PM Manila 2PM UK doing a live DJ x vocals set (playing some of my older house, progressive... and maybe a spot of trancey tunes??) for @zhostelph x haha I gotta get in the mood even with the sun so high up here in London - so was wondering if we all could do a zoom e-numan / hangout after! I'll set up the zoom call & send the link to those who make it to the live set 💓✨✨✨ thank you @spcaoboy !!🕺

how ya feeling? 🥴✨ someone just told me to have a happy weekend... and I was honestly #shookt. what? again?? wasn't it the weekend... Wait, what. it feels like Monday Wednesday Friday - and again. or is it just me? I sometimes state at the word "Friday" and it's starting to lose its meaning - literally 🐦🤷🐘🎧

a f t e r h o u r s @crazylittleasian remix {soon} 🎧⚠️ headphones / sound: on⚠️🎧 foooookenell look I love collabing but sometimes well-meaning people disappear & you never know when or if they're ever coming back to finish the track (ah! that rhymes!!!) so I had to do it myself from scratch 🥺⚡

after hours @crazylittleasian remix {soon} ⚠️headphones 🎧 on⚠️ short story: fooookenelll look man I love collabing but sometimes people (or we!) disappear and we don't know when they'll come back or if they'll ever frickin come back to finish the damn track (rhymes!!!) so I re-did the whole production for the topline (my melody and lyrics) ahaha heeeeelp

I need a miracleᕙ (° ~ ° ~) • DJ x vocal set with @marcinhimself on the guitar x • I do miss performing outside! Although the break is good as well to try on some new things at home. Perhaps learn new songs to cover? ᕦʕ •ᴥ•ʔᕤ • Do you have any songs you want to hear me do vocals on for my set next time?

programmed & looped these beats on the cute lil #kaossilator then freestyled over it! • I connected the #kaossilator @korgofficial to the @pioneerdjglobal mixer + plugged in a vocal processing unit @tcheliconofficial to the microphone input for added vocal effects just to see how it sounds!!! • last time I was in a production booth @icmplondon xx • hope you're getting your creative juices flowing OR just taking a rest from the madness xx

//the importance of persevering AKA being a tough lil but to crack🌰🥜😆 had to move my IG live at a much later time which meant it was 4am back in the Philippines 😂 while it was 8pm here in London. felt a bit sad that my live stream kept glitching & I had to reconnect roughly about 8 times.🙄 also saw that the numbers were significantly lower this week - and thought perhaps I could just end it short & do a better on next week. BUT I kept going (even whilst feeling mildly anxious) & have gotten TWO requests to do a live stream on their channel because of this little broadcast! IF I caved in & thought I should just forget it - I wouldn't have been able to get those. and -- I got a nice little reply on my DM that I was able to inspire her 😭💓 which for me meant everything! please keep going, you never know who's watching or may be inspired by you or energised or even people who see you and go, wtffff I can that better 🙄 - at least you've inadvertently helped gear them into action 😜

until tomorrow take ii . . ps I'm using this as an excuse to finally upload this bop ok 😂

until tomorrow 🥴😂

sending you a bit of shimmy!! 🦉 shimmying with Moroccan musicians in Marrakech 😅 soooooo glad I was able to t take this trip with @baltashark this year (to celebrate being friends for over 20 years now!) hope you're all staying safe and creative and present 💓 even though it feels like an up down rollercoaster sometimes - I'm just trying to take it moment to moment.

ahhh.. 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙚𝙢𝙤! {watch til the end😂} @evanescenceofficial [thank you!!] was just the right combo of drama & emo 😭🌹was told it didn’t really fit the ‘artistic’ sound 😅 so I was the only one who used it - a year later, this song was used a ton by other skaters (yay!) . thanks coach Arnel for this programme - he always leaves the last bits of it to me (so I have freedom to express my inner teenage wo®Kings & this is what younger me came up with 😂 . . #fromthevault 💖

ahhh.. 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙚𝙢𝙤 days! {watch til the end😂} I liked to use non-traditional music for my ice skating (ballads, classical) - so @evanescenceofficial [thank you!!] was just the right combo of drama & emo 😭🌹I was told it didn't really fit the 'artistic' sound 😅 So I was the only one who used it - a year later, this song was widely used in programmed . . thanks coach Arnel for this programme - he always leaves the last bits of it to me (so I have freedom to express my inner teenage wo(r)Kings & this is what younger me came up with 😂 . . #fromthevaults x
