you’ll always find me rambling from our usual spot — a place where good stories linger.
i’m esje — a filipino-chinese part-corporate slave, full-time reader and film lover. based in bangkok. always elsewhere.
this channel is a soft landing for everything i love: literary and queer storytelling, messy reflections, slow mornings, and films that leave you a little undone.
i never shut up, so let this be your warning — but if you’re here, and you stay, thank you. you’re the best.

Hi fellow regulars - finally filming our 70K (bookstagram) / 4K (booktube) video tomorrow.
I'll be splitting it to two parts - personal and bookish, and will be posting/filming the former first.
Drop your last-minute questions below for the PERSONAL Q&A!

Took a bit of a bit of a break this weekend from just life in general (had the most physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting work week of my life) — i’ll have the next video up in the next few days 🤎

I’m planning out a Q&A / Meet the Reader video after reaching 60K on bookstagram — thought i’d check in here as well if there are any questions you might like to ask?
Ask me anything (bookish / non-bookish) 🤎

Hello fellow regulars! It’s been more than a month on YouTube and I wanted to do a quick check in — what types of posts have you loved watching, and what else would you like to see more of? 🥹
Pre-filming some stuff before I go on an almost 3-week trip out of the country so it would really help!

Hi guys! I've been feeling under the weather for a few days so I haven't found the time (nor energy) to film. But if things are better by today -- plan on filming some fun videos in the coming days! <3
Hope everyone's been having a good February so far!

Hi hello i filmed and edited this video at 11pm after writing my reflections on finding my favorite city -- so it is very raw in its quality and its thoughts, but hey! keeping it casual here -- i hope you guys enjoy!!
additional note: i'll target to be consistent on posting 1 bookish video a week, but might sneak in some non-bookish video as an extra when i find the time (or when i'm feeling spontaneous)!
