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…

What I chose for my 2023 Digital Planner

This post is quite late but I’d rather post it late than let it sit with the other I-should-have-posted-these-drafts in my folder of regrets. After setting my 10-year goals (or skill plan), it’s time to write about the digital planner-journal I’ve chosen for 2023–something that will satisfy my need for finishing quick tasks and crossing…

Using LinkedIn Learning for 30 Days

These days I’ve been considering taking graduate studies or focusing on continuing development seminars.

With this tool, I committed myself to accomplishing the…

2021 Looking for INTJ 8w7s Results

Disclaimer: This was an amateur survey I created to satisfy my curiosity. It was flawed in a lot of ways and through the responses, I could tweak some items here and there and come up with a better version. To this day, Looking for an INTJ 8w7 is my top ranking post and I couldn’t…

Thoughts: Deciding on my 2021 Journal

Having an open communication with yourself will give you fruitful rewards so I highly recommend it. A wandering thought suddenly crossed my mind as I was preparing myself for work: should I start searching for a 2021 Journal? Normally, in the beginning of November, I’d start collecting Starbucks stickers for their annual journal, if the…

Never Have I Ever, Writer Edition

While checking out some articles to include in this month’s collection, I saw an interesting post from Kat Impossible of Life and Other Disasters where she shared her preference for tea, love of writing at wee hours of the morning, and her map for a contemporary novel. As in any tags about books or writing…
