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, […]
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 […]
Failing to plan is planning to fail.

To download the highest quality you’ll need to have a Youtube Premium account with the audio quality set to high: Next, you’ll need to get the cookies to authenticate, I personally use Chrome on windows, you’ll need to launch Chrome with the –disable-features=LockProfileCookieDatabase to […]
You’re not making money until you’re making money without working. – 50 Cent
Expectations are the thief of Joy
It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove in court. –Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
I have a lot of feelings about my current situation in life but I don’t feel i have the energy to deal with it, But certain things aren’t elective and I either decide what to do about them or life/time will make them for me. Experience suggests that things get worse when left unsettled, so […]
I exchange my time for money, rates are usually dictated by where you’re from and who you know… Not so much what you know. The gap between what I think I’m worth versus how much people are willing to pay me is usually great, but not as much as my need to provide and hopefully […]
I believe I won’t grow old and I feel that I don’t have enough time to do everything I want to accomplish in life. But ironically I do everything I can to extend the longevity of my body and work towards being financially independent for if or when I grow older. Call me a hypocrite, […]
The appreciation finally dawned on me that life is full of uncertainties; And I find myself searching for positive certainties to get me through that fact… Regardless of how fleeting it may be.
I traded a corner condo unit on the top floor in Manila for a house and lot near the beach in a Province where I have no relatives and barely know anyone. It’s been one of if not the most daunting decision I have made so far and by all accounts, seem to be one […]
Treading down South of sadness.I look back North of youth & nostalgia, as the westward winds remind me of my woes. I am reminded that life isn’t east of equality.
New ventures are akin to lifting heavy shit off the floor for me. It’s those first few centemeters that are the most challenging… Or I would like to think so. But it gets progressively hardet when as you progress. One of the lessons sports (distance running & powerlifting) and my career has taught me is […]
I started coding back in 1999, when writing your media player in mIRC because my Pentium II can’t run winAMP and mIRC at the seme time was fun. Back then I didn’t see it as a career, I knew I wanted to be involved with it but didn’t really see it as a source of […]
For the past 7 months, most of my time has been spent in this 5×5 meter space. I work, workout, eat, sleep repeat. The Pandemic changed views on a lot of things, especially housing. I used to think owning properties is much better than renting; Now not so much. I find myaelf liking the idea […]
I make it a point to have voluntary debates with my inner coward atleast 3 times a week. My inner coward is that voice of reason that advicea you againsy doing dumb shit and pointing you to tge path of least resistance. It the former arguement in the flight or fight response. It’s one of […]
I would call it more of a knee-jerk reaction more than a response to be honest. I’ve reached the point wherein I am more afraid of the government especially law enforcement rather than Covid-19; Atleast with the virus, you know what to expect and can prepare accordingly. I do appreciate their efforts and I am […]
We’re in the tail-end of week 6 of the Enhanced Community Quarantine implemented by the national government last March 15, 2020. Apart from the increased difficulty getting food and other “necessities“, not much has changed from our way of life. In actuality, it improved our quality of life; Air quality is better, noise pollution has […]
