Hi, I'm Intisar. This space is for my observations, reflections, and insights—a simple collection of what I find worth keeping. 👉 <a href="mai...
A man must be prepared. For most of my life, I wasn't. I was the person who paid the bill (electricity, rent, internet 😔) on the final hour. I ironed my clothes only when I was already heading out the door. I didn't finish assignments or submit forms until the deadline was staring me in the face. I wasn't sure if I was lazy or just irresponsible, but I knew I was living on the edge of a deadline.…
As I'm planning to dive into electronics, I realized I need a multimeter. And, I actually bought one. Before buying, I had to do some research on what type of multimeter I should buy. I found I should look for these features: At least 6000 counts: I believe it will give me more precise measurements. Microamp (µA) range: To be able to measure very small amounts of current. Auto-ranging: So…
When I’m not using my phone, I keep it face down. Maybe it's because I don't want dust to gather on my screen, or perhaps I just want the display out of sight, but it has always been this way. A couple of days ago, I noticed my wife does the exact opposite. It wasn’t just a one-time observation; I’ve seen her habitually place her phone and even mine screen-up. She even does it with my fitness…
Currently, my life feels like a triangle where the corners are: Work: I'm working as a freelance graphic designer. This is what I have to do to pay the rent and feed my family. Family: Family is home, home is peace. I got married this year in January. Now, one of my top priorities is to give time to my family. Hobbies: I have a never-ending list of things I want to do. I'd like to work on my own…
I think I’m picking up a new hobby. I bought this thing a few months ago to use it as a Pomodoro timer. I really like the tactile feel of winding the key to start the countdown, but it has two major problems: It makes a ticking sound while running , which is distracting when I am trying to focus on my work. When I am finally in the zone, it rings so suddenly that it gives me a mini heart attack.…
I have been wanting to write a blog for a long time now. About three years ago, I discovered Flavio Copes who used to write bite-sized blog posts every day. I did not really read his posts that much, but his habit of writing everyday was what I liked. It gave me the urge to start writing blog posts of my own on what I was learning at the time. This was also the first time I learned about static…
