The weekend wasn’t so busy, but I felt like I was pulled into a thousand different places for a couple of days. For a moment, after meeting with an old friend/mentor on Saturday for lunch, my mind was filled with hope and ideas and dreams. Coming home, I went crashing down, sleeping, do little work, […]

Letting Go of the Past
Letting Go Without a Choice When I came to Korea all these years, there was one decision I had to make, a choice that was little under my control. At that time, I was financially treading water but not good enough to travel at will. The reason to travel wasn’t really strong enough as well. […]
Eyes Twitching
That means I drank way too much coffee. I know I did. It started in the afternoon, drinking about 3 cups. When I got out of bed around 8 am, I went about, organizing stuff here and there. I washed the dishes. I tried to get to work on my stuff. Unfortunately, my mind was […]
Under Pressure
Under a lot of pressure these days. A lot of it is related to work and money. I can imagine I’m not the only one facing this. Life is difficult. Everyone has their own things that are bothering them lightly or heavily. Some face it as a challenge that allows them to grow. Others see […]
Owning my Mistakes
This will be a triple header. In the morning, I plan to write 2 posts from my head. If possible, I’ll try for 3. For a change, I’m writing them in the morning instead of late at night. This happened for several reasons. Not Enough Time I admit this time has always been a very […]

Bury the Hatchets
Burning in the Fat Head I’ve had days where I got so angry at someone or something that I couldn’t remember why I got angry in the first place. I was like a chubby human torch. The burning man. Mr. burning fat head. Imaginary flames rising from my head along with real steam. Much time, […]
I Got too High and Low
In the story or Icarus, his father Daedalus told his son, before they took flight, too not fly to high because the sun would melt the wax on his wings and not fly too low because his wings would be wet from the sea breeze, making him heavier and stop his wings from stop working […]
A Letter to Myself in 2019
Dear Michael, You’re writing this letter to explain what a successful Well Challenge from the New York Times means to you. Why did you sign up to this? Actually, you signed up for many, many things: From email, advertisements to websites that have pop-up windows that say, ‘Join me to the dark side of the […]
All Things Are Temporary
I’m reminded that are all things are not forever. They can go long. Quite long. But all things do come to an end. It’s good and bad. I guess that’s why I’ve heard NBA coaches like Dwane Casey say, “Never get too high and never too low.” Keep it level. I’ve been tested for the […]
