Blogging Prompts (resources and links) that will hopefully help me get out of my mental funk

I’m recovering from a mental slump. As much as it pains me to say, I’m suffering from the divergence of my personal goals from my professional ones.

These days I’ve been considering taking graduate studies or focusing on continuing development seminars. I have a big passion for writing and would like to study more literature but alas, it doesn’t pay my bills. If I wanted to project my future to be like a renowned writer who only waited for royalties at home,…

One year with iPad Pro M1. Now what?

I’m celebrating my M1’s anniversary. And nope, I didn’t buy it for work. I might have bought my laptop, Acer Nitro 5, to have a better experience working from home, which turned out to be a great investment. However, in M1’s case, I was more ambitious.

What I Read in February 2022 – A month for Shoujo and Josei Manga

I could probably read a couple of articles and write, “Here’s what I read this month!” but I know nothing would come out of it. Apart from what’s going on in my country (elections–not my favorite topic to talk nor write about) or in Ukraine and Russia (I’m not equipped to broach this subject), I…
