As 2025 comes to a close, I just want to pause and say thank you.
To the bknerds who have been so solid—your love, support, and constant encouragement mean more than I can ever put into words. 💚
This year was full of pop-ups, long days, tired feet, and full hearts. And somehow, this little bookish passion project made it to two big pop-ups: Manila and Iloilo. What an achievement that still feels unreal to type. 🥹✨
None of this would have been possible without the people who kept me going behind the scenes.
To my ever-supportive husband, thank you for always pushing me forward, especially on days I doubted myself.
To Adi, my friend who shows up at my pop-ups just for moral support 🙌🏽 your presence means everything.
To my ever solid bkmrk’d assistant, Myra, thank you ever so much! thank you for being such a huge part of this journey. From the behind-the-scenes support to showing up when things get hectic, your help has made this year lighter, smoother, and so much more manageable. I truly couldn’t have done all of this without you. 🤍
Justin and Precia—thank you for being so solid since last year. Even as you’ve both grown into your own professional paths, you still keep in touch and show up whenever you can. Your support, reliability, and genuine care for this little bookish brand mean more than you know. 🤍
And to every single bknerd who stops by, messages, and asks, “When’s your next pop-up?” — I can truly read the enthusiasm, and it fuels me more than you know. 📚💛
Thank you for believing in Bkmrk’d PH, for choosing small, for choosing handmade, and for being part of this journey. Here’s to more stories, more markets, and more chapters ahead.
With a full heart,
Thank you, 2025. ✨📖
