A glimpse into my everyday life (with some forays into work-life balance). On occasion, I post on this tag outside of my usual Saturday night schedule.
-
Pounding pavement, pushing film.
-
I’ve been trying to keep my head down and sane, but now I’m as mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore.
-
The new normal will take a while getting used to.
-
Working from home until the end of the month.
-
On my own knowledge, or lack therof.
-
Celebrating the small wins in life.
-
Looking forward to 2020.
-
Climbing up walls, literally – or my one physical thing.
-
My Manila vacation, and dealing with my cognitive miser.
-
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while now: should I go dark, disconnect from social networks and all, keeping only this blog? How can I do it? And is it worth it?
-
Coping.
-
I’m keen to learn a little about everything, but obviously I don’t know everything. Especially sports.
-
I’m behind on my blogging – let me catch you up on the past month.
-
My penchant for curiousity, borrowing books, and generally being a nosy and smart alec kid back in the day.
-
I cannot stress enough how lucky I am.
-
What does it mean to be Filipino?
-
I am an inveterate consumer of the black elixir that is coffee.
-
I’ve been listening to a lot of OPM (Original Pinoy Music) of late; here are some tracks playing heavily in my library.
-
It’s cold out here.
-
I’ve avoided talking about Philippine politics for a while now here on my blog – the current political landscape has been very divisive and polarizing. However, recent events have made me reconsider this.
-
Putting things on hold.
-
It’s inevitable that I compare everything to Manila, even if I would rather not: I have only that data point to use as basis.
-
Food, glorious food.
-
On socialization, introversion, and small talk.
-
Looking back on the year that was
-
Three months in, and I think I’m fine.
-
The universe apparently has a wicked sense of humor, Or how I locked myself out of my own apartment on a public holiday.
-
In which the protagonist goes through sensory overload.
-
I am a software engineer. I’m also an amateur photographer, a writer, and a dabbler. Or, at least that’s how I view myself.
-
The second week: looking for apartments, and observations of weather in Sydney.
-
Diving into the deep end: moving into a new city, and starting a new job.
-
Just what exactly am I comfortable sharing online?
-
I’m moving to Sydney (finally!): what’s on my plate for the next month.
-
As I’ve said previously: I try to view things critically, and that means understanding that there are usually shades of gray.
-
The music I listen to; suggestions welcome.
-
I love food; it’s one of the things I splurge on, as my girlfriend can attest.
-
I have no words to explain it, but sometimes it’s worth looking back at your own past work, cringeing all the way.
-
The Great Adventure; or what’s going on in my life to date.
-
On the anxiety of getting a visa as a Filipino.
-
No one likes deadlines, but I find that having them forces me to get things done.
-
Getting back into the groove of writing is harder than I thought; figuring out my voice is even harder.
-
Freelancing and consulting work isn’t my cup of tea, but I’ve learned a lot from it.
-
Rebooting the blog. Is this mic on?
