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.
Tidbyt Gen 1
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.
Home hybrid solar setup
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.
Tein Flex Z on my ’15 FXT
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 […]

Spotify exclusive downloader
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 […]
Densium 4+ V2
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 […]

2015 Subaru Forester long term review — what broke
Here’s a list repairs on my 2015 Subaru Forester XT with 60,000+km on the clock. These are grouped based on when I had them repaired/replaced and are considered normal repairs given the car’s age and milage. When the car had a rattling sound in idle and a clicking sound when turning I had these replaced. […]
Baguio is cursed
My last 4 visits to the city I once claimed my home has been marred by misfortune. My trips to the city had to be cut short but someone dying my car breaking. I initially chalked it up to bad luck when my highschool batchmate caught a stroke while I was there. The following year, […]
Ren Faire PH 2024
Made the 500km round trip to Baguio to attend the 3 day event. Considering it’s the first of its kind in the country, it was an enjoyable experience, especially considering the venue; A private, manicured forested area. I did notice that the majority if not all of the attendees came from a certain “above average […]
EMUdeck on a Steam Deck OLED
As much as I liked the RG405M, I found it couldn’t emulate the arcade games I wanted to play to my liking; Primarily some NAOMI/NAOMI2 games and a couple switch games. I decided to skip other more powerful handhelds like the AYN Odin 2 or the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and go straight to the […]
Anbernic RG405M with Gamma OS
In the search for an EDC entertainment handheld, I finally settled with the Anbernic RG405M. I was happy with my Miyoo Mini+, the software support on it was the best in its class IMO. But when a chance to trade it for a RG405M came along, I took it and glad I did. To sum […]
