Knowember ☕

This is my entry for Knowember, a fun blogging event hosted by Robert Birming. I had actually seen many of these kinds of events around on Bearblog since July, but never found myself participating. So.. I intend to break that but participating for Knowember, it's nice to meet you! :-)

A photo...

A vast, beautiful ocean with rock monuments at the edges, close to the camera

This is a photo I took during my most recent trip to visit my extended family. We were touring a lake spot that led to a large, open rocky beach. I love the ocean, and anything adjacent to it, so it was a marvelous sight to behold. I plan to attempt to paint my findings some day in the far future!

Name or nickname...

My name is Justiz. The alias is derived from my actual name, or rather, the second part of it. My mother was initially going to name me 'Justiz', but decided otherwise. She took this name from a person she once met, thinking their name was beautiful. I would've loved to have had a second-hand name, lol!

I ended up becoming rather fond of the name, and adopting it for my Bearblog account. It also reads like the word 'Justice', which I personally think is badass.

Where in the world I blog from...

I am from the Philippines 🇵🇭, where I stay (and mostly grew up) in the central capital of Manila. By all means, I am a city-person, and living in the provinces is a bit of a challenge for me.

Though, I was born in the provinces of Cebu, and stayed with my extended family during my younger years before I moved to Manila for the majority of my life. I fly to Cebu every now and then to meet my relatives, which is always a cozy time! :-)

For a time, I also lived in the Batangas province, where I studied for 3 years before eventually moving back to study in Manila.

What my blog is mostly about...

Whatever I feel like writing about!

...Realistically speaking, I mostly enjoy writing about my own life experiences, thoughts on mental health and general advocacy towards it, as well my own strange, miscellaneous interests. I really love to write whatever's on my mind, and I'm a bit of a blabbermouth--both on and offline, so I find writing to be quite therapeutic.

I am also an editorial writer! I post some archives of articles I am proud of writing here on this blog, and give my own insights as well.

I am also-also an artist! I take art commissions every now and then, but I really want to increase my scope a bit more, paint some more backgrounds and learn some realism, so I will hopefully post more of my

It's nice to meet you! ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ
