Things and Topics I am passionate about
The name says it all, it’s Voodoo! I was skeptical at first, how can a band of latex fix my Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow). (tennis elbow) and tight/inflamed knee? But it came down to either this 2,000PHP (40USD) or going to a physician who will most-likely prescribe some drug or operation to pseudo-fix the pain… […]
Born a Crime Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give to another human being.
Red Rising Trilogy An Awesome Young Adult Sci-Fi read. Originally a trilogy but I guess they’re adding 3 more books, but the story can be concluded on the third book.
Columbus Day (Expeditionary Force Book 1) Can’t wait for books 2 & 3! One of the better Sci-Fi books I’ve read in a while.
Shoe Dog Good, inspiring read, even though I prefer Adidas 🙂
The Girl with All the Gifts My first English (European) Zombie story, I especially liked the ending were one of the protagonist got to go out with one last hoorah! .. so to speak ^^v Too bad the movie adaptation sucked so much.
The Book Thief One of a few stories that got me teary eyed.
A Man Called Ove An entertaining light read about dying.
What my version of Harry Potter would be if I were a writer. My kind of Fantasy/Magic story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22076621-the-magicians-trilogy-boxed-set
The Martian One of the most entertaining sci-fi books I’ve read. The movie didn’t do it justice at all.
Ready Player One Reminds me a bit of Daemon books by Daniel Suarez. Great read, especially for kids of the 80′s/90′s 🙂
The Last Days of Night entertained, and learned a few nifty things at the same time
The Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan Great character and story development, with a satisfying conclusion… in my opinion.
A lot has been said about the subject, but seldom do I see mutual-respect in the same context. There has been much debate on the impact of tourism on culture and nature; both the affirmative and negative side raise valid points until declarative ideas turn into imperative statements. I understand the value of preservation, and […]
I used my EON card to make an online transaction amounting to 5,700PHP which was debited from my account even before the card was validated. I got an AVS (Address Verification System) after entering my card details when the amount was deducted from my account. After filing a complaint over the phone, email and to […]
This has to be the best workout-partner / mp3 I’ve ever used since I started working out for the past decade… end of review. Kidding aside here’s the gist of what I like and dislike about it in order: The GOOD It’s waterproof. You can use it when doing your laps in the pool, it […]
I’ve been running consistently for roughly 8-9 years now, and I have been unemployed for the past 4 months now since I started running. I took this opportunity to go on vacations and take stock of my journey so far:. You can’t delegate goals. In both running and finances, you can only rely on yourself […]
I’ve ran one-to-many miles to count and learned bits and pieces about myself over the years. It’s an exercise in self-exploration and awareness. It is, to me: Where the buck stops… It’s an argument between myself and my excuses; A debate on the merits of quitting over the satisfaction of finishing. It is a constant […]
