The Wallpaper 00001-Fear Less, Progress, Live More
I've offered this as a free wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and PC. However, if you could donate a little, it would mean a lot to me as I am saving up for a new iPad as my birthday present this month. I love the word "fearless," but eliminating fear is impossible. Instead, we’d be better …
Uranus 2324, 2024 - ★★★½
"Uranus 2324" is a movie that really caters to fans of a certain on-screen couple, but if you're looking for a strong storyline as a whole, you might be disappointed. The space operations scenes are some of the worst I've ever seen, with no sense of urgency at all. The editing, score, dialogue, and …
Death Is a Collective Grief That Brings Families Together
Grandma is dying; there’s no way around it. She’s already 94 years old, so no one is surprised, and we’ve all been preparing for it in our own ways for a long time. Still, when the doctor said she had less than a month, putting a definite deadline on something we were too scared to think about, it …
My New Super Simple Weekly Planning Setup
So, I tried bullet journaling in 2022 and then evolved into my own system mixing both analog and digital tools. But this year? I fell off the planning wagon hard. Like, barely-planned-a-thing hard. Here are the lessons I learned from my epic planning fail: Too much on my plate: Digital tools let …
The Log 00003-Lessons from Two Months of Daily Lettering
Hi! I’m Ning. If you’ve been following me, you might have come across some, or hopefully all, of my lettering pieces over the past two months.

A Family Affair, 2024 - ★★★½
Family Affair turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. The characters were all likable; they made me care about each one, even the supporting cast. It’s mostly cute, and while there weren’t many laugh-out-loud scenes—surprising given the premise—I actually prefer it this way. What really stood …

One of the most nerve-wracking things in life is falling in love with your best friend. The heartache of unrequited love is tough, but trying to salvage the friendship afterward? That's on a whole other level of difficulty. Yet somehow, Amy managed to do it, even if she hit a few bumps along the …
📧 Just a quick heads up—my iCloud storage was full, and as a result, all the emails I received this month bounced back. 🤦♀️ I’ve sorted out the issue now, so if anyone sent me an email recently, could you please resend it? Apologies for the inconvenience; I promise I’ll read it this …
The Pride Month Lettering 00029-Lauren from Faking It
I wouldn't have learned about intersex if I hadn't watched "Faking It." This show features some of the most inclusive LGBTQIA+ characters in the most welcoming environment I've ever seen. It flips the script of high school stereotypes by making the "cool kids" …
The Pride Month Lettering 00028-Sam from Gap and Neung from Blank
If you’re into Girl’s Love stories, definitely give the Thai dramas “Gap” and “Blank” a watch. These two shows are set in the same universe, and the main characters are sisters. Their names—Neung, Song, and Sam—literally mean 1, 2, 3 in Thai. What a lazy way to name your kids. 😂 These dramas tackle …
The Pride Month Lettering 00027-Albus Dumbledore
What could possibly be worse than having to fight someone you love for the fate of humanity? Honestly, nothing comes to mind. It's a nightmare scenario no one wants to face, but Albus Dumbledore found himself right in the middle of it. Not only did he sacrifice his own happiness, but he also …
The Bikeriders, 2023 - ★★★½
The Bikeriders… Wow, talk about a talent wasteland! You've got three of the best actors of our time, and you decided to frame their characters like they're social distancing from the plot. But guess what? These actors still managed to carry the whole movie on their backs because, let's be real, …
The Pride Month Lettering 00026-Crowley and Aziraphael from Good Omens
Crowley and Aziraphale from "Good Omens" is the ultimate slow-burn love story that’s been simmering since the dawn of humanity. Seriously, talk about taking it slow—these two redefine the term! 😂 I’ve never seen characters complement each other so well; they’re like the perfect embodiment …

The Pride Month Lettering 00024-Santana from Glee
Remember “Glee”? That gloriously over-the-top show that had us all singing in the shower and believing high school was one big musical number? Well, I firmly believe it paved the way for the teen LGBTQIA+ community back in the day. Seriously, it was like a rainbow-colored beacon of hope. …

The Pride Month Lettering 00021-Eliot from The Magicians
"The Magicians" is one of my all-time favorite series, and out of all the amazing characters, Eliot Waugh stands out the most for me. He is a complex puzzle, with his genius magic skills and a dark history of trauma and depression. Eliot is a flawed and real character, which makes him so …

The Pride Month Lettering 00019-Queen Maeve from The Boys
It’s always a punch to the gut when you see how the media loves to cash in on someone’s gender and sexuality. And “The Boys” doesn’t just take a jab at this issue—it delivers a full-on roundhouse kick. If you’ve tuned in, you’d know how Margaret “Maggie” Shaw, aka Queen Maeve, gets exploited left, …
The Pride Month Lettering 00018-Grace from To the Moon and Back (Matalada)
To the Moon and Back (Matalada) is a heartwarming Thai drama that shatters stereotypes by portraying LGBTQIA+ people as loving and capable parents. The character of Grace, Matalada's dad, was a shining example of a supportive and admirable father figure. Despite facing rejection from his own …
Inside Out 2, 2024 - ★★★★
Inside Out 2 should have been a two-hour movie to allow more time for expanding the concept, especially in the first act. I would love to see more of the other emotions and how they interact in a healthy way. Everything felt so rushed, without enough time to emotionally invest in any scenes. …
The Pride Lettering Month 00017-Danny from Dreadnought
“Dreadnought” by April Daniels is a superhero story like no other. Danny’s journey as a transgender superhero is both powerful and touching. The story tackles important themes such as gender identity, acceptance, and self-discovery in a way that is both heartwarming and …
