Food Shower
About 3 hours ago (as I start writing this piece it's 12:27 AM), my mum and I were invited to my uncle's wedding anniversary. There were lots of food, my cousins were there, my cousins' children were there, and my anxiety was there too. I barely spoke a word---bouts...
MICROPOST: If Only I Had Written Like This, It Would Be Fantastic
Stuttter, BuddyPress and BbPress' developer John Jacoby has some eloquent things to say regarding how difficult he is to work with: If only this writer (yours truly) knew how to elaborate that much, namely with all existing vocabulary that may be extracted with such...
MICROPOST: Sleeping
As I write this, I'm on the verge of logging off because I have to keep up with my sleep. Unfortunately, though, my head keeps ramming itself with a barrage of ideas that prevent me from dozing off. Yes, I do have a hyperactive brain, no thanks to my occasional mania...
This Is Weird But It’s Kirk
For those who are familiar with the now-defunct (but very memorable) series "Gilmore Girls"---of which I am much of a devoted fan---Kirk might be one of those out-of-this-world characters Stars Hollow has to offer. As much whimsicality he personifies, he blends...
Oh, the New Year…
It's 2016! Well, of course this should mean in terms of the Gregorian calendar as we know it which, for some, would not make sense at all since there are tonnes of calendars extant in the world depending on particular creeds or traditions, preferences even. However...
Dear Ludwig
Sure it is fascinating---your life, how you battled your own condition so much so that you became a world famous classical icon, how much energy you poured into your work... Definitely amazing. A prodigy such as you certainly deserves a fete, and now is the time that...
Empower Your Site With Google’s Fonts
For some time I was searching for a way in which I could integrate a diversity of fonts to make this network of sites I have attractive enough to make Alice in Wonderland blush, and mostly I appealed to the notion of installing one particular theme catered to such. Of...
This Is What I Get for not Checking Emails Regularly.
Since I got hold on a new portable install of Opera Mail (very handy and lightweight as an email desktop client), I was able to scan all folders for whatever delayed, unread, or junk email that I have so I may delegate those in their appropriate folders or eject them...
To Multisite or Not To Multisite; I Did.
My pledge: this shall be an equally short post. A few hours ago, I posted on Facebook as to whether I'd like to multisite this installation of Wordpress (for those who do not know what Multisite is, better check out this and this). Indeed, my previous website had been...
Wishlist Item # 1: A Giving Journal
This post, I think, shall be the progenitor of all things that calls for my own sweet demands and idyllic wishes that I'd like for the holiday season; and yes, I know, I am not much of a dubious little fiend who would bombard good old friends with text messages or...
This Blog in Brief
Dedicated to St. Hildegard of Bingen, a Benedictine nun and intellectual; and my personal patroness, Our Lady of Montserrat, this blog hopes to be a venue for expressing ideas about sundry things on faith (especially about aspiring
to live a Benedictine-inspired life & spirituality), culture, my sometimes (failed) attempts at art, and education. Also, I talk about my life here as a mental health advocate based on my experiences, so please bear with me.
BY THE WAY, the title of this blog is Portuguese for “daughter of Hildegard” and is pronounced as /filya ildegarda/ .

St. Hildegard of Bingen
Saint Hildegard of Bingen, in your humility and simplicity, you were raised up by God and given a special gift of supernatural knowledge about the deepest mysteries of Heaven and earth. Please pray for us, that we will always be open to the truths God reveals to us and that we will use that knowledge as the basis of all our choices in life.
Saint Hildegard of Bingen, pray for us.
Our Lady of Montserrat
O God, Giver of all good things, who didst choose Montserrat as a glorious Shrine for the Mother of thy only begotten Son, and through her intercession there hast granted favors without number to those who sought them there: bow down thine ears now to our petitions as we kneel and pray before Her image. Thou Who livest and reignest forever and ever.
