Amassing a number of adjectives synonymous to tiring would be an exaggeration for what this month was for me but it truly was exhausting. Two big reasons: Avengers, The Big Bang Theory, and Game of Thrones have just ended and I suffered from a long and literally draining diarrhea. The 1968 Sci-Fi that Spookily Predicted … Continue reading May 2019 Articles
There are a number of articles from my old personal blog that I want to salvage and one of them is a write up on my first cacti, Fuji and Eiji. I was immensely proud of and cared so much for them--probably a little too much. Eiji didn't survive rotting roots and Fuji...well, it got … Continue reading Starting with Succulents
I tried catching up on my reading and writing this month-- my smartphone games were getting in the way, not to mention an old flame in the form of a Korean TV series. I seem to be fixated on a number of things lately, I wonder if it's my age. What Happens inside a Black … Continue reading April 2019 Articles
Over the weekend I watched a number of Takehiko Inoue's Slam Dunk episodes. They were chosen in random -not exactly since I focused on episodes where Sendoh appeared.

I started March particularly well with a presentation on SVA and voices for our team's brown bag session, a trip to Taiwan on the second week, and a system deployment for work--but technically I wasn't the one who deployed it so let's not delve into this. But hey, who's asking? Nietzsche on How to Find … Continue reading March 2019 Articles

Here are the articles I found sooooo informative this month: Hideaki Akaiwa Jumps Headfirst Into Tsunami Water To Save Family and Neighbors And that's love. … Continue reading February 2019 Articles
Thirty days ago, we were just celebrating New Year and now it's not even new anymore, unless you're like me who thinks that tomorrow is another year, full cycle and celebrates it nonetheless, minus the extravagant dinner and fireworks. What it's like to live in a well-governed country (BBC) There are some policies I don't … Continue reading January 2019 Articles
With all the changes that happened in 2018, I only managed to read 33 books, 9 of which were manga volumes--I didn't included the other mangas I read using my MangaRock app because it was honestly tedious looking for Volume Titles in Wikipedia. Had I included all of them, had I been patient enough, I'm … Continue reading 2018 Reading Challenge- Results
Yes, Sherlock, it is. Or was. Last year's December caught me by surprise, and lo and behold, come January, I realized my post went on without even me sufficiently greeting my readers a Happy Christmas and a blessed New Year. And since I don't want to be caught unaware again, I have prepared a proper … Continue reading December 2018 Articles
I get excited thinking about concepts the same way I get excited when I receive pens as holiday gifts. It doesn't show much on my face but yes, apart from roller coaster rides and books, there are things that get me excited. I may not understand the concept of YOLO the same way as the … Continue reading Not Wired that Way
