Got a pair of ranger cloaks on the behest of my child. It was a bit expensive for my taste even after the 10% discount on each cloak and free shipping. Added to that the $105USD forwarding cost from the US to my dooratep. The cloaks were pretty well made and the sizes were close […]
I used to have an unhealthy obsession with cars since childhood. Primarily because it was seemingly unattainable growing up, and it being a symbol of success and freedom by mobility. Admittedly is was one of my motivations to improve my fiscal well-being as a young adult. After managing to acquire one in my early 20’s […]
TLDR: Solar is great for back-up power and to regulate volgage for your appliances. But as a monetary investment not so much. If I had to do it all over, I wouldn’t apply for net-metering and hire actual practicing engineers to set up a solar+battery system. At the time of writing, I spent PHP12,000 in […]
Memory prices have gone noticeably down relative to the memory software consumes in the past 5 years; Which is the age of my work-horse of a laptop (a Dell XPS 9700). I opted to upgrade its memory from 32gb to 64gb for only $132USD at the time of writing. By consequence, I also upgraded my […]
I’m bias since I’m a fan of both his music and his career over the years. Though I do identify and resonate with a lot the points he made in this book. I am also a fan of author narrated books which was a plus.

I don’t like feeling pain but I want to be exposed it. I want… Need to learn its lessons so I can keep growing and avert being mired in mediocrity.
Found this trinket locally for $90 and didn’t regret it. It pairs well with my Densium 4 v2 which just has that rustic, retro vibe I am going for. Apart from how it looks, I like how it’s powered with a USB-C connection and has several apps/widgets you can cycle through; There’s also an option […]
I don’t want to be comfortable to a point that I start developing luxury beliefs.
Finally decided to install solar in my house. I ended up with the following configuration: Everything costed 280,000PHP (5,000USD). This includes all materials and installation costs. It took 3 days to install and setup everything. The contractor also wired a breaker for net metering which wasn’t included in their original quote. I do plan to […]

I’m so introverted, that when the universe was giving away social skills i declined the freebie.
Buy nice or buy twice is what I usually say. But I got swayed by a supposedly good deal on KSport coilovers when it was time to replace the 9yr stock struta on my car. I ended up selling it at half of what I got it for after only 2 weeks… I charged that […]

I currently use SpotDL which uses YTdlp to download music from Spotify/Youtube Music. I stumbled on Zotify while researching how ot download Spotify exclusive tracks. This method is simpler to use compared to YTdlp as you basically have a shorter command to run with minimal setup. The only drawback is you need a Spotify account […]
The wood front panel accent sold me on the case. Despite it being expensive at around $200USD shipped from the UK without a riser cable and it using a FLEX ATX power supply, I am happy with the purchase. Everything from the packaging, paint finish, and screws are of high quality. It’s bigger than a […]
