Drew Mirandus, in front of a campfire, raising hand to feel the heat.

Hi! I’m Drew Mirandus, a creative from the Philippines, who wants to utilize an avenue where I could gather my thoughts and my interests to one comprehensive readable platform. I have always wanted to be able to share myself to the world, bit by bit, without divulging too much about my personal life; and, I found using blogs, essays, and articles as the easiest way for me.

About the Blog

This space is an exploration of both the spiritual and the mundane – a reflection of life’s intricate balance. Here, I document my personal journey, touching on topics that range from introspection and growth to the simple, everyday moments that bring meaning and joy.

You’ll find content that weaves through my travels, experiences, and musings, with an occasional dive into deeper questions about life and existence. This journey isn’t just about sharing stories; it’s about creating connections and fostering understanding.

At times, the content may delve into political or societal matters, always with the intention of encouraging thoughtful dialogue – not to impose opinions or biases. Respect and inclusivity are core to this space. Any form of prejudice, harmful behavior, or intolerance will not be accepted here.

As this journey unfolds, you might see collaborations or sponsorships that align with the values of this platform. These will always be thoughtfully chosen to ensure authenticity and relevance to the content shared here.

This platform is an independent endeavor fueled by passion and purpose. If you’ve found value in what I share and would like to support this journey, I graciously accept donations and tips to help keep this website and my creative work going. Your generosity helps sustain the effort behind these stories, reflections, and explorations.

Thank you for being here – or reading, reflecting, and sharing in this space. Together, let’s continue exploring the beauty of the in-betweens.

Let’s be one with the light and the dark.

How I Review Things

I review products, places, and experiences that are meant to be lived with, not just tried once and photographed. That includes everyday tools, skincare, travel stays, food as part of place, and the kinds of things people slowly build opinions around.

My reviews come from time spent using or experiencing something in real conditions. I pay attention to how it fits into daily life, what holds up, and what quietly becomes frustrating. If something works only in ideal scenarios, I say so. If something isn’t for everyone, I make that clear.

Some pieces are sponsored and some aren’t. The process stays the same either way. Sponsored means the placement is paid for, not the opinion. I keep editorial control, include drawbacks when they matter, and disclose clearly. The goal is to help people decide, not to persuade them.

This site is built for readers who care about taste, context, and honesty, and for brands who understand that credibility is more valuable than hype.

What I Don’t Do

  • Publish first-impression takes disguised as reviews
  • Guarantee positive coverage
  • Accept scripts or brand talking points
  • Remove criticism to make something sound better
  • Review things I wouldn’t actually use or experience myself

If something appears here, it’s because I spent real time with it and thought it was worth understanding. Not everything is meant for everyone, and that clarity matters.
