Hey everyone,
It’s been forever since my last newsletter release. I sincerely apologize for that. You’ve already allowed me to invade the sacred place that is your email inbox in exchange for something to read. But I haven’t done much invading.
In the past three months, I’ve released two articles on my experiences with DLSU’s Computer Science program. And in the past two weeks, they’ve garnered far more attention than I anticipated. Friends, classmates, and even other DLSU students I’ve hardly talked to shared my Facebook posts. The two articles have reached nearly four hundred views combined! 🤯
This brief stint of success has told me that my writing does have potential, that I can create something people appreciate, and that I’m actually achieving what I set out to do with this online creator journey: making a positive impact on other people’s lives.
Cheesy? Maybe. Self-indulgent? Probably. Do I want to stop? Not at all. I want to keep sharing.
I was never consistent with writing for this newsletter simply because I never built the habit. But I want to change that. From now on, I plan to release a piece here at least once every two weeks. I initially wanted weekly releases, but with school and music lessons and everything in between, I’ll be a little more forgiving to myself.
Each newsletter piece will now contain some or all of the sections below. They will provide some structure to these pieces and will give me more things to write about.
- The Main Idea - Whatever topic I fancy writing about. It can range from interesting ideas I come across, recent noteworthy experiences, rants, or just me sharing my intrusive thoughts.
- What I’m Working On - What’s been occupying my time recently: mundane schoolwork, new music pieces, new articles, passion projects, etc.
- What I’m Reading - Books I’ve been reading or recently finished. Interesting blogs and articles will land here as well.
- What I’m Listening To - Podcast episodes or new music I’ve been listening to recently.
- What I’m Watching - Videos, channels, series, or shows I’ve been enjoying, anything under the sun.
Please look forward to more content from this newsletter in the coming weeks. If I don’t follow through with this declaration… Well, I hope that doesn’t happen. 😶😶
That’s all for now. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!
- Enrique

Hey everyone, Finally, after six months, this newsletter comes alive again. So much has happened in the time since my last newsletter piece, An Orchestra of Emotions: I almost feel like a completely different person. You never really can underestimate what can happen in the span of a few months. On the bright side, I've just released my new, deeply personal and incredibly vulnerable essay all unashamedly about me. I've been working on this essay on and off since August, with school getting in...
Hey everyone, A few days from now, on July 1, the Lasallian Youth Orchestra—of which I am a part—will be hosting its annual concert: Forte. This iteration is special because Forte is finally returning live after being forced online for three years due to the pandemic. This event has been in the works for half a year, and preparations have ramped up in the past month. It’s been a delight to make more and more friends within the organization as a result of the preparations. Although, to say...
Hey everyone, Whenever we’re getting things done, we tend to focus on what, when, and how. What am I going to study today? When do I plan to finish the project? How can I work more efficiently? But people often disregard where we get things done. For the past year, I’ve been frequenting the same nearby cafe nearly every week, on the same day, at the same time, to write, study, read, and think. It’s reached the point where all the waiters and managers know me by name and remember my favorite...
