These are articles that have written, published elsewhere online.
So far, in terms of international exposure, I can divide them into two blogs that still exist: Daniel Aaron’s and AussieDebtFreeGirl’s sites.

I met Daniel Aaron way back when he was offering yoga teacher training in Bali. The memory is hazy, but it was surely after 2005 and before 2009. Daniel is an author and spiritual coach—not to mention a yogi extraordinaire.

AussieDebtFreeGirl is a full-time mom and influencer in Australia who blogs about frugal living and saving money. She’s super friendly, down-to-earth. One day, I would like to meet her in person.
In 2025, I got the shock of my life when my contribution got added to an article by The Guardian UK. Here’s the link:

Aside from these current ones, I have been published online in ChinoyTV and the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The published pieces in ChinoyTV do not exist anymore (they deleted it), but Gen Xer that I am, I have them saved in several PDF files.
Here’s the most recent one they did on me (feeling ko centerfold ako, ala the Eraserheads’ song Magasin): Link
The link to the Philippine Daily Inquirer piece is here. If you didn’t click that link, I’ll sum it up for you: I wrote it during a hard time when the pandemic hit and it tells the story of how I got my COVID-19 vaccine as an anorexic woman.
While we’re on the topic of local publications, I’m going to mention a smaller independent news outlet called ThePhilippinesWeb. Articles I have over there include this one where I introduce myself as a blogger for mental health (January 2023), among several others. Some of the articles I wrote for ThePhilippinesWeb are also republished here on my blog, with links back to the original pieces included in each respective post.
Lastly, a writer friend of mine has a blog called The End Justifies the Journey where one of my articles is featured. As with my pieces on ThePhilippinesWeb, this article is also republished here, and I’ve included the appropriate link in the corresponding post on this site.
That’s it as far as I can recall. When there’s an addition, I’ll update this blog as soon as I remember. Ghostwriting gigs are not here, of course, since I don’t kiss and tell.
Update: from Chinoy TV. I got featured here.
And from The Mango Quill, an essay of mine got published. Here is the link to the magazine.
