Say what? PR7? A Wonderful Glitch!


This must be my lucky day. Well, I guess not really that lucky but few people I suppose would come across something as surprising as this. You see, I have Google’s PR button installed on my browser courtesy of course of the Google Toolbar. It’s very helpful for surfing because I can immediately tell the site’s/page’s relevance, at least in Google’s point of view. I’m new to blogging and web site maintenance, so SEO and PR, although known to me, aren’t the kind of stuff I spend time poring over..at least, not these past few weeks. As we all know, high PR is like a webmaster’s/blogger’s nirvana. So, imagine my surprise when after loading my first blog At A Loss for Words: Writings Of A Blogger Wannabe, I happen to have noticed something weird. PR7? On my blog??? what the? :) I went through a an odd mixture, roller-coaster ride of emotions. First there was awe. OMG! Even if I know in my mind and in my heart that there’s not the slightest hint of truth in it, the mere fact that I saw it even for a while was like heaven coming down on me. Bliss, I tell you, pure bliss. And then, there’s denial. NO! Something must have must have gone awfully wrong for this to happen. If there was a PR -10, that would be my PR! :) it does show on search results but I know better. Of course it shows up when I do the searching or “googling” for that matter, because I know exactly what keywords to use..haha.. Okay, so back to the emotions. Then, there was delusion. I told myself, hey, miracles happen right? Even with the guys at Google or their bots..hahaha.. And then, there’s more delusion and optimism, which when mixed in inappropriate proportions, becomes a more potent form of delusion. And then there’s realization. I pinched myself and eventually woke up to reality. It is just a glitch. And a what a wonderful glitch it had been. Actually the first “glitch” I’d like to see everyday. Anyway, you know the saying “relish the moment”.. So, what I did was to capture the moment. Heck, I thought, if anything, this would be fun to document right? It would either be an evidence of a “miracle” or an evidence of Google not being perfect after all. So, for our amusement ( mostly mine, actually ), I present you… At A Loss For Words: Writings Of A Blogger Wannabe, URL http://rjmarmol.blogspot.com ===>> PR7! hahaha..

About Me
Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera Marmol aka RJ Marmol profile picture

I’m RJ Marmol — writer, musician, and independent creator based in Manila.

I write songs, essays, and books about the messy overlap between money, overwhelm, creativity, identity, and rebuilding. Much of my work circles around what happens when life stops feeling manageable — and how we try to think clearly, make decisions, and keep moving anyway.

I’m also the author of Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur, a nonfiction book published under Steady Hand Press. The paperback edition is listed under my full publishing name, Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera.

On the music side, I release work as HeyRJ. On the writing side, this site is where I gather my books, essays, notes, and whatever I’m building next.

Music

HeyRJ is my sonic soul project. I create raw, minimalist-style and deeply personal music interpretations that feel like a late-night conversation with your truest self.

By blending lo-fi acoustic textures with poetic honesty, my work explores love, loss, grief, healing, and the quiet in-betweens of life. Each song is a letter — a journal entry — a gentle companion for when the world feels too loud or too quiet.

While my catalogue began with intimate cover renditions, my work is increasingly being shaped by original writing, drawing from years of poems, lived questions, and emotional survival.

“Stuck Home Syndrome” released on March 20, 2026 is my first original 20-track album written during a period when time felt compressed and days began to blur into each other. The songs came from sitting with thoughts that had nowhere else to go — unfiltered, repetitive, and sometimes uncomfortable. It’s a concept album that isn’t built around singles or polish. It’s closer to a continuous inner monologue, recorded with minimal production and very little ornamentation and meant to be listened to as one cohesive body of work. The goal wasn’t to resolve anything, only to document how it felt while it was happening.

On May 29, 2026 I released new original singles – “Rapturous”, “Uh Huh”, “Look At You”, “All That” and “Blew Print”. I continue to release both original and cover songs and intend to so for as long as I can so check back every once in a while — you might. just find something you’ll like.

Books

Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur

A nonfiction book about what debt does to the mind — and how to begin functioning again when financial stress has made everything feel blurred, urgent, and overwhelming.

Rather than treating debt only as a financial math problem, the book explores the emotional and cognitive realities of financial distress: shame, decision fatigue, avoidance, panic, relationship strain, and the difficulty of making sound decisions while mentally depleted.

Published under Steady Hand Press. It’s available worldwide in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon. Bookstores and libraries can also be order it wholesale via Ingram.
