Hi, hello, it's esje (or @seigf.read). Officially a corporate slave, spiritually a frustrated artist. Filipino-chinese, living in bangkok, but often in taipei (i love the city).
I fall in love, a little too often, over many different things. To everyone's misfortune, my favorite outlet is to write.
Which brings us to 'our usual spot'.
Picture this: Old friends catching up over a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine. With never ending rambles on culture, books, movies, music, and musings ranging from the silly to the existential.
So welcome, and i hope you feel at home here.
what to expect at 'our usual spot':
Every week, our usual spot’s Sunday Paper will arrive on your inbox (this weekly newsletter will always be free) with an audio note read out by yours truly, containing any of the following:
on remembering - biweekly newsletter, free long-form version of a wrap-up I post on Instagram consisting of musings & snapshots. Written and audio.
2pm thoughts - extensive musings, from the silly to the existential. Grab your coffee or wine, who said deep vulnerable thoughts have to come past midnight?
media musings - lists, reviews, snapshots of media that have consumed me, whether it be a book, movie, or a song. Join me in my media obsessions.
picnic basket - hand-picked recs of 1 book, 1 movie, and 1 song I continue to love. I hope that you find a piece you love within these recommendations.
For paid subscribers, the first few weeks of ‘our usual spot?’ will purely be a show of support and appreciation. These early posts will be free for all to read.
Moving forward, benefits of going paid will come in the form of:
Full access to our usual spot’s archived posts, including audio
Exclusive audio note to free newsletter posts (except for on remembering)
Exclusive posts limited to paid subscribers
(For our dearest regulars from Instagram, send me a DM at @seigf.read for a paid subscription neighborhood discount!)
With all that out of the way, welcome back.
I’ve been waiting for you, I hope you feel at home here.
from our usual spot,
esje
