Who are you?
Hi! My name is Danna, a Manileña based in Barcelona. I’ve spent most of my life in Metro Manila and I’m now based in Barcelona, where I’ve completed my master’s degree and have resided for almost two years as of date.
I have a multi-disciplinary background, having previously worked in the spheres of advertising, marketing, journalism, and now in sustainability consulting, climate communications, and project management.
Some of my interests that I find myself immersing in include reading literature, watching films, listening to a vast range of music, admiring good design, visiting museums, and learning languages.

When I’m not grinding on the clock, I often find myself delving into various forms of media and writing think pieces in my journal that will never see the light of day.
Hence, this newsletter is a creative practice. A motley of both imagined and actual experiences. A manifestation of things I feel, see, and hear, distilled in occasional newsletters sent to your email inbox.
When you subscribe, expect to read reflections, essays, and prose on the human condition, personal experiences tied to the cultural, and media that I find interesting, from books, art, music, and film.
Where do I start?
If you’re curious about what to expect, here are a few of my top-read newsletters:
I hope you can find some respite or anything worth reading from these sporadic notes I send out online. It can get a little loud in digital platforms driven by algorithms, so I hope this little nook in cyberspace allows you to find some quietude among the noise.
When you subscribe, you’ll receive newsletters straight to your email inbox. I welcome your letters and notes — so if you have something to say or anything you’d like me to write about, I’d love to hear from you!
