My 2023, A Retrospective

A full week has gone by in February and here comes my first ever post for 2024. We have those moments. This blogpost is inspired by none other than My 2022, a Retrospective. On my Focus Time Compared to 2022, my Forest trees were 600 fewer, an expected result considering I stopped recording my ‘Work’…

When in Japan: Overcoming the Language Barrier

A huge shout-out to my father-in-law who sponsored the trip for us! Our Japan adventure only lasted for two fun-filled weeks but it’s enough for me to gauge my proficiency. My assessment had been rather different when studying by myself and just watching animes and listening to music. As expected, immersing myself in real-life situations…

Series: When in Japan

Recalibration: Setting my 10-year Goals

The beginning of the year often signals a reset for many people so a number of us are prone to creating resolutions we aim to abide by (at least in the first three months of the year) or goals that we want to achieve. This behavior subjects us to the marketing strategies of journal and…

My 2022, a Retrospective

After rigorously choosing the items I am willing to share in this cyberspace, here is how my 2022 went: On my Focus Time According to Forest App, or to be more accurate, according to how often I remembered to trigger the application as I went with my activities, I had a good amount of focus…
