Preparation time is so important. As I get older, I realize how essential it is to get ready as much as I can. No matter how much I think I’m ready, I’m always missing something when it’s time to go. So how bad is it when you have nothing ready and you think you can […]
Seek the Best But Never Perfection
Seek the best but never perfection. Perfection doesn’t exist. I get this impression of perfection from school. Particularly tests, assignments, and projects. While some parts of academics can show a student is perfect (math, science, spelling, grammar) most forms of perfection are subjective (essays, artwork, presentations, speeches, etc.) I chased perfection in areas I thought […]
Saw Spider-Man Homecoming at 1:05am
I finally saw Spider-Man: Homecoming at 1:05am at the remodeled CGV at Yongsan I Park. The movie was on its last legs in terms of being shown in the theatre. I liked it. A lot. The movie would use decades of character development of Peter Parker, Aunt May, and other people from the Spider-Man ethos […]
It’s Amazing How Many Thoughts Whizz Through Your Head
It’s amazing how many thoughts whiz through your head even when you get up. It’s a wonder how I even get anything done with all that thinking. Fortunately, I had made a plan to get into Cyper early in the day, along with two other things. For about a week, I’ve been away. Not surprisingly, […]
Missing (Small Important) Items
The (Tank) Notebook I know how important my notebook is. It has been around since 2009. My parents brought it from Canada as a birthday gift to me. When I got it, it was up-to-date technology and had everything I needed to do my work. 8 years after, it’s still like a reliable tank. It’s heavy and […]
The Costs of Life
Today I earned money, opportunities. Today I paid money, opportunities. It happens everyday. Today was a bit bigger than usual. Some of the costs were so big that other opportunities were shut. I did get angry. I did point the fingers and blamed. The truth of the matter is, the pointing should be drawn towards […]
Find Your Way
I’m reminded time and time again to know where I am now and know where I’m heading. I’m in the midst of a potentially hectic schedule. I’ve flubbed a few things due to procrastination (that will never go away) and finding other things that are much more pleasure like games and Facebook. The time wasters […]
A Lazy Streak
French and Chinese Farmers On the weekends, I’m sometimes like a French peasant in the wintertime. I’ve read from the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell that they stay in their beds during the wintery season doing more or less nothing after working at the fields from spring to fall. It’s not like the Chinese farmers who […]
A Look Back
A little late on the post… Better late than never. A Call Back As I was driving with Da Missus to a lunch meeting with her friend and husband, I passed by one of the places I used to work for. It brought some memories, the good and not so good. It’s funny how the […]
It’s the Little Things that Count
The Daily Tasks 10 to 20 minutes of meditation. Reading and following instructions for a free coding course, step by step. Writing different daily journals for 15 minutes. Listening to binaural beats to (hopefully) raise my levels of concentration and work ethic. Reading (sometimes) 50 pages a day of a book. That one I gotta […]
