a blog about what I feel like sharing
I remember reading about global warming (I guess know it more as climate change nowadays?) in an encyclopedia that my grandparents bought for me when I was little. Although I don’t know the implications at the time because 1. english isn’t my first language and 2. it was done with cartoon drawings. I’ve heard over the years of people chalking it up to something that we…
So, I’ve decided that going through my RSS feeds seem like a good use of time. To give some context, I haven’t opened my RSS feed (on FreshRSS) for a few months and well, it ballooned up to 2k unreads. Yeah, seems like a bit daunting. My management skills are lacking, so what I did in the first place is go through short posts that I could find (pretty sure I follow some tumblr blogs,…
So hello again (again). No, I didn’t take that long of a holiday. Anyways I might or might not have done stuff since then. There’s still time for relaxation, and I used quite a chunk of it on catching sleep (surprising). Other than that, I’ve actually started on my games backlog. Now I kinda have to tell the context for that. See, before this, I bought an external hard drive bay…
Hello again, forgot how long since my last post (I’m not checking) but I know it’s been at least a month. Okay probably more than that. Anyway, don’t think I could really write what happened in that period either because it was nothing to write about or it’s pointless drama. All I can really think of is it was a busy period, which is weird because I know there’s more…
Hello again, my internship finished a few weeks ago (hooray) and the new semester just started last week (not hooray). I got some experience out of the intership, but that’s not really something I would like to write about today (besides, that’s more for professional blog). So, you know the urge to spend when you got the allowance? Yeah I succumbed to it during my internship :P…
I don’t really talk much. Mostly because I don’t actually go out of the house much (I pretty much only go out for classes exclusively , like go listen to the lecture and straight back home type or when my parents want to go out to vacation). I really dislike traffic, especially if I’m driving and it’s both going out and back of the house. Sometimes public transport is an…
Hello again, seems like I only have the time to write in weekends nowadays. Not really surprising, but I don’t feel like I want to do a weeknotes, I don’t think I can manage every week now. So what happened between this blog post and the previous? Can’t really remember, I don’t really keep a journal nowadays. Let’s see, uh, more work. It’s okay, getting to know…
Hello again, just ate my dinner. Didn’t really do much today as I was mostly sleeping through it. Couldn’t really help it, it was raining lightly the whole day, perfect for sleep :P First weeks as an intern is… interesting. The department I was assigned to was a bit chill unless a problem occurs. Well, it just so happens that a problem occured this week. I’m not the one to…
Hi hi, probably a short one this time. I’d probably won’t blog as much (or as long, depends on how I want to write) for the time being. Time has become something that’s hard to come by. Why you ask? I got an internship! Well, it’s the mandated one for my course. It’s weird, usually internships are done near the end of the course. I don’t know why my…
Last weekend my family visited a fruit farm. We bought discounted tickets at a convention centre a few months prior and finally found time to make the journey. Every weekend before that involved going back to hometown or servicing the cars, so it was a nice break from the monotony. I also decided to bring a compact camera for taking photos (a Lumix FTC-25, nothing to write home about). I…
I’ve done quite the trip yesterday. That’ll probably be it’s own blogpost someday. One thing I will divulge here is that I used a compact camera instead of capturing the photos with a phone. It’s pretty nice having something for one specific purpose and nothing more. Plus I don’t check my phone that much during the trip because I’m holding my camera. Usually…
Our family bought some eggs recently, but those eggs were not the best batch we bought. We usually buy eggs in cardboard cartons at the supermarket, but it was sold out when we went there. There are still C- and D-grade eggs, but those are too small. So we go to the more expensive aisle and buy those eggs in plastic cartons. I’m assuming the plastic carton exudes a type of luxury, but eh we…
Note: This seems to have gotten a bit too tech centric again… So it comes to a point in everyone’s life where they found about a thing called a second brain either from YouTube or word of mouth. It involves getting a notes app, preferably Obsidian or Logseq , and try to create notes the Zettelkasten way (or something similar) which creates a very fancy graph that some people share on…
The week’s going pretty fast. Lectures just ended last week, so I only have some presentations and tests remaining before my short semester break. Though it doesn’t feel like it. I’m at the point where I am contemplating on how to use the time. Use it more efficiently, upskill yourself, read some (educational) books. All those thoughts rush to my brain on how to use my time.…
My family and I were getting lunch at a cafe. Partly because my father had those free discount vouchers on hand. It’s pretty good, sans that you can only order coffee with it, but they offer decaf, that should compensate drinking coffee in the evening somewhat. They didn’t have decaf. I’m probably staying up late today (this was written a few weeks back, but I don’t want to…
As most people, I drive to get from point A to point B. The place I am residing currently has a pretty good public transport network, though we only use it to go to the capital where it’s horror to drive and navigate the branching expressways. There’s also other factors that contribute me to use a car instead of public transport to move around, though that’s a story for a…
I’m the type who always forgets to charge their phone. It’s not to the point that I go out with 5% left, but it won’t really last the day. Yes, I do bring my charger everytime I go out because of my carelessness, but finding a power plug outside is a trouble in of itself. Not to mention that I would have to stay there for around 10 minutes for it to charge a decent amount (my…
This isn’t going to be a long blog post but something more technical. I want to check whether I can center a picture in this blog since the previous one had it left alighned. Lit candle at night This should in theory display a picture and caption. Reply to me via e-mail tags: pictures , test-post
Lectures start late today, and I decided to go have a cup of coffee. Not because I was feeling it, but because there’s a voucher for a free drink. The selection for the free drink isn’t a lot, but my eyes stopped at ‘cold brew latte’. I know the basics of cold brew , it uses cold water instead of hot for extracting the coffee. A lot of people say that the method makes the…
So funny thing, I caved in to consumerism and decided to buy a thermometer. Not the basic kind, the one with humidity as well. I’ve been eyeing for this type of thermometer for a while already. Where I live the humidity is constantly high, but I remember hearing that an air conditioner reduces the temperature as well as the humidity, and I’m curious by how much. Also my room has been…
I have had multiple water bottles throughout my life. Most of them were Tupperware . My family was the kind to hoard it around. It’s a reputable brand, and its build quality is high. We rarely had any faulty Tupperware (my grandparents had Tupperware, and we at one point recovered a container that’s produced 30 years ago, and it’s still air tight!). My current water bottle is…
My family and I decided to spend the long weekend a few hours away from where we live, so we boooked a homestay (or more like an airbnb, the term is commercialised here) so that we can cook there instead of buying food outside. We came to just walk around, not really for food. The place we booked looked pretty modern in my eyes, it was situated in a newly-ish built apartment (5 years is still new,…
The changes this time aren’t that significant like the time I switched to readable.css from my personal css. I made the contacts section in my about page more consistent. I also added Signal and Delta Chat on the list, although I still haven’t linked my actual contact yet (if you press on the link it’ll just redirect to the respective messenger’s website). Other than that I…
I was browsing for a way to do raw rss feeds when I came across this blog post from Darek Kay about styling rss feeds . Don’t ask me why I was searching about doing rss manually, I’m still not sure on what to do if I have that knowledge. Anyway, the blog post was informative. Rather than showing raw, unstyled xml when you click on the rss link (for this blog in particular it’s…
I don’t know if this is a common issue, but all the mice I’ve used had their scroll wheel broken. I didn’t use them aggressively, probably often, but certainly less than what I would expect to make it break. I don’t have expensive mice, just the normal office ones, so it’s not that bad for me, but still. Now that doesn’t mean I want to buy another mouse. Only…
Trigger warning: abandonment (this is in regards about an inanimate object in fiction later on. just thought this might be warranted for some people (yes, it’s still related to the corner, trust me)) There’s a highway corner that I drive through every few months, mostly because of a shopping mall nearby that my family likes to go to. It’s just a normal highway corner.…
If you paid attention to this blog before, then you’d realise that there was a blog post that was unfortunately deleted, partly due to the shenanigans I’ve done yesterday to spice up the blog page (just made the footer consistent with the rest of the website, no really). Not sure whether I’d re-release it in the future, it’s just about why I made my bluesky account, and…
We were just going out for some fresh air from the constant traffic and my parents decided to have a little bit of coffee, which I reluctantly also go and order. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that I’m a bit wary of my caffeine intake. I’ve tried one of those coffee energy drinks once a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t sleep properly…
!! This is the first in a series of blogposts that I’ve written on bearblog, I’m gonna retire that blog after finishing the migration of posts to here !! So I’ve been noticing a thing recently in my life, every sound is loud. Not in the way that it hurts my ears kind of loud, but more so that it is loud enough to drown other sounds. If it’s the middle of the night, with…
Hello again, it’s not really a long time since the last blog post, and I’ve been up to something. I finally had motivation to clean up my website and create a fresh new look for it! Admittedly, the css is kinda copied from somewhere (design is not my passion). I’ve taken things from readable.css (and by taken, I mean using it without modifications), but I would like to change a…
Hello, I’ve not really been active on this place it seems like. Life happened and stuff; and this place became an afterthought apparently, like so many things. Been well, just tired of all the news and stuff. Currently in a middle of a hectic semester with delays and stuff. Doesn’t necessarily mean I’m busy all the time; it’s just that I don’t have as good as a skill…
I’m not sure about the allure of instant messaging (or any online communication platform tbh). I’m the type of person to just immerse in some entertainment without any regards of anything happening in the online world. Sometimes I want to see if what I’m immersing myself into has an online community, but usually it’s either that it’s on a platform I’m not in (or…
It’s been a while since my family decided to go to the beach. We brought a few kites with us (one standard kite and another resembling a bird). The bird kite is difficult to control as it has a tendency to lean to the right before falling from the sky. There is a way to balance it, by releasing the string for a while and reeling it back in (that kite uses a fishing rod for some reason). I…
I’ve never got the trend of podcasts or audiobooks before. I usually set my phone’s volume to the max and try to enjoy it while doing the dishes, but the sound is muffled due to background noise and loss of quality when putting the volume to max. Some months pass and I have a nice bluetooth headphone gifted to me. It’s miles better than my laptop and phone’s speakers, so…
I had tried minimising my screen time countless times, so I’m trying something akin to an accountability book this time around. In this book: - I have to do an entry I want to open my phone/laptop for any specific purposes - Add other things if I accidentally open it (e.g. YouTube, social media) Hope that this is going to last. Currently on my second day and it’s getting frustating…
It is a given that when you enroll in a university, you have to do more self-learning than what you’d do in high school because the lecture is just an ephemeral beginning to make you understand the topic. Unfortunately, I don’t have the discipline to make time for it. I don’t know the exact reason, but I never really had a grasp on time management, even today. Sure, I know how to…
So after procrastinating this for so long, I finally started some progress on my website (yay!). I decided on pure html+css because I want to see how to do website design on my own (it’s bad). The html is done somewhat, just trying to do the dreaded css for now. tags: blog , website-update
Hello there everyone, I’ll be using this spot on the web to do some experimentations (hopefully) on web design and whatnot. The main page is still on the planning stage so it’ll take a while before it becomes a resume worthy profile. tags: introduction , blog
