April 2019 Articles

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…

My New Take on Slam Dunk

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. Anyway, it’s not a secret anymore that I simply adore him. Certain realizations arise when you watch a series or even a movie for several times and…

March 2019 Articles

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…

February 2019 Articles

Love month! The shortest month of the year just came in a whirlwind and for all we know, there are only 10 months before 2020. I better stop here, lol.

2018 Reading Challenge- Results

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…

December 2018 Articles

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 list this time. NASA InSight Lander…

Not Wired that Way

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…

Passion vs. Strength, The Magnet Theory

Where lies your passion, you may find your strength. How do I identify the difference between these two? Strength for me is a product of consistent practice. It’s an overt behavior and in a way it means people compliment you for it without you needing them to or without you knowing why. To exemplify, one…
